    Betteridge’s law of headlines is an adage that states: “Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.” It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or not.

    You’ll have to pry my steam deck from my cold dead fingers.

    The thing I hate about modern tech is it’s all so walled off and you’re told what you can and cannot do. The deck is such a breath of fresh air. They don’t prevent you from going outside the boundaries and they don’t make it difficult to do so either.
