Comment on Steam now identifies reviews that come from Steam Deck players

Just because you run a binary doesn’t mean a server across the Internet knows you.
Users though, disregard my advice. Assume what you run is running foreign remote code that could encrypt and ransom you.

Oh I super agree with you! The question was “does Steam know what your hardware is without consenting to a survey” and the answer is “yes absolutely Steam does!”
Also your last paragraph? I know software and I think you’re too lenient hahahaha
I don’t even use phone apps unless they have almost zero permissions.
