    Being used to modern journalism I was not expecting even a link to schematics, but instead I was given list of all required components and even re-upload of a video showing how to assemble it. What a treasure this website is

      Gamingonlinux and Steamdeckhq are the two sites I follow specifically for steam hardware news, and they’re both pretty good about providing source links and actual info.

        DeckReady is also a great YT channel!

      gamingonlinux is not classic journalism. They are just a bunch of nerds loving what they do, which makes the website super awesome.

      I hate it the most when it’s a link that looks like it will go to the source but it just goes to another, older, story on the same site.

    Do you guys think they will also open-source half-life 3 once it’s released?

    Sweet. Now I just need a foundry in my garage.

      A foundry for what? To 3d print the parts?

        You can 3D print the screens?

    I don't know much about electronic components. This is a diy kit with a esp32 board in it. Could you reflash with valve firmware and have it just work? Or would different aspect ratio of screen mean a slight change to a config or full reworking?

      You’d probably have to significantly change the firmware - It would probably be easier to just program it to pull stuff using esphome
