Comment on multiplayer?

I used a plastic bender-tool thingie that I’ve bought. I used the same tool to swap earbuds on my headphones a while back which brought new life to my old, worn, but expensive headphones. Actually worth it since it’s SO much easier to open stuff.
I followed a youtube video to do the swap. Took me about 2 hours going through it all very slowly. Detaching the battery cord is what took the most time and patience. Just a very slow process where I questioned if I’m even making progress, but it loosened eventually.
Not at all hard to do. Just required a little attention and I watched the whole guide before I got started.

Ah, yeah, if I have to crack it open with some sort of tool like an otter with an oyster then I’ll probably never upgrade. I’ve done that with my laptop a few times but it never feels okay and with my steam deck, any bending of the plastic could result in noticeable differences in the wrapping of the plastic when I hold it. The MicroSD seems to be fast enough for me anyway.

A lot of retailers claim people are returning with se cards that stop working after about a year in the Steam Deck. Not sure about the validity but good information to take in notheless.

I’ve not read that, do you have an article or such so I can learn more about what’s happening to the microSDs?
