Uhh, Vanguard and Blackrock are ETF providers, those stocks are assets under management

They don't "control" anything about those companies.

Valve: don’t expect a faster Steam Deck ‘in the next couple of years’ in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It sure is! The only two things I mention for people thinking of doing it:

  1. Eject the micro SD card first!
  2. Get a decent small screwdriver and be careful with the screws as they have a bit of thread lock on them and I found it was pretty easy to strip. Nearly had one do that for me which was a bit stressful.

But other than that it's a piece of cake and plenty of guides getting the os on the new drive.

It's true but from what I have heard it can be a bit of a ball ache getting the warranty with them, but that's par for the course for grey import so nothing really special about Kogan. They may have a better reputation than most, but with an import you accept it could be a hassle.

That said, I think going with the cheapest and upgrading the SSD is the best choice.

Also wouldn't hold my breath that if/when a local steam deck is released, it will be at all competitively priced.

If you can deal with the issues of grey import, it's trivially easy to get one here now. I got a 64gb from Kogan, and since I'm rolling the dice with warranty - did a 1tb SSD upgrade myself.

Definitely happy with my purchase it's an awesome machine

I would argue it's easier just in significantly different ways - the Arr stack of applications take more effort to learn and setup initially, but once you have it's absolutely effortless.

Best. Cat. Ever. in c/cat
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah we can't literally know what cats are thinking, but humans do tend to anthropomorphise so we can't really help attributing our observations of their behaviour into what we believe they are thinking. Very egotistical of us.

My observation they think we are a bit useless comes from the 'gifts' behaviour of bringing things into the house. My cat brings in small lizards- thanks buddy! Could be any number of reasons they do it, but I find it amusing to ponder if he thinks I'm not good at hunting, so he better take care of this important cat business.
