Valve has put out a new video showing a teardown of their new Steam Deck console. The thumbnail literally says "You shouldn't do any of this." The video itself explains the (perfectly valid) reasons why, but also shows how to do it properly if you're gonna do it anyway. They also mention that you can buy replacement parts directly from Valve.

This is honestly a really great stance for a hardware manufacturer to take on the Right to Repair movement. WARN, don't restrict.

See, Apple? Is that so hard?

@The1AndMany I just love this companies' politics. Not just supporting Linux like hell, but also right to repair? God damn, just take my money!
@The1AndMany "Warn, don't restrict" is a fantastic phrase 👍
@The1AndMany Agreed, also, legally it is important they state these things too. In general, a good stance.

@The1AndMany
I would have liked to see that battery removed...

That's far more likely to need replacing in a couple years than the SSD.

@The1AndMany Yeah, if the service guide was properly done and available, we'd have less risk opening hardware we own…
@The1AndMany I was worried this would be the opposite of what it was, from the CW. Glad it wasn't.

Apple: Yes, difficult. Our customers.....they're idiots.
