First I’ve heard of this, glad Valve does such a good job with warranty coverage.

A place to discuss and support all things Steam Deck.
Replacement for r/steamdeck_linux.
As Lemmy doesn’t have flairs yet, you can use these prefixes to indicate what type of post you have made, eg:
[Flair] My post title
The following is a list of suggested flairs:
[Discussion] - General discussion.
[Help] - A request for help or support.
[News] - News about the deck.
[PSA] - Sharing important information.
[Game] - News / info about a game on the deck.
[Update] - An update to a previous post.
[Meta] - Discussion about this community.
Some more Steam Deck specific flairs:
[Boot Screen] - Custom boot screens/videos.
[Selling] - If you are selling your deck.
These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
Truly epic tier reporting by Kotaku.
Frankly, this is to be expected. Are Kotaku’s corporate taskmasters not converting the site from a news/investigative portal to a generic stop for game guides?
Edit: answered my own question and it is yes. Yes they are.
Also quality overall has decreased a lot. Some months ago I started seeing news gathered from random reddit posts as in the worst journalism ever. That’s sad, apart from the site you linked, only a couple more (Aftermath comes to mind) seems to remain as good ones for gaming news.
I liked aftermath until they started being contrarian for the fun of it. Also their weird “Palworld promotes slavery” shit

Bad thing that it happened. Good thing that its 100% repairable.
Just checked my limited edition oled model and on the back left center screw there is a small about 2mm crack in the fashion of the photos, no signs anywhere else.
Just checked mine and same, the same screw too. :/

Unsurprisingly, some of the posts about this have been removed by the subreddit moderators. That post also originally had a message from the automod that it was removed because it was in violation of rule 7 for posting “intentional misinformation” due to the “developing a very common issue” in the title, but they have since decided to remove that comment as well - didn’t restore the post though.
I don’t check the Deck subreddit very often since I left over the API charges, but the last time I did the subreddit was up in arms over moderation issues. Main complaint at the time looked to be that the mods weren’t removing posts that were unrelated to the deck, so it’s weird to now hear that they’re removing stuff that is deck related.
