The Bluetooth issue also happens on iOS, so I think it is an explicit choice, as Apple wants as many devices contributing to their Find My Network. It’s also the reason they changed control center on iOS to no longer turn off Wifi and Bluetooth, but to disconnect the current connections.
They are definitely are starting to trash it with ads for their own services, user hostile behavior/dark patterns (try turning off Bluetooth and applying a software update, it will be magically back on), and have ruined the UI slowly turning it in to iOS.
Even if companies were replacing existing hardware, the existing hardware uses less power. So whether it is additional hardware or not, there will be an increase in energy demand, which is bad for climate change.
I have been enjoying Tech Won’t Save Us. It mainly focuses on the politics and unethical behavior of Big Tech/Silicon Valley. It has been an eye opener.

No one says you have to buy a new phone, used iPhones are usually a lot cheaper.
Anyone try it out yet?

There’s a steam deck graphics preset on the next gen version that works really well. I have the FPS locked at 45fps and it is really smooth. I am also playing the next gen version on my PS4 and it is really laggy compared to the steam deck.
The ads and spyware work great for Microsoft!
The US government is one of the buyers
I just had to RMA mine in for this issue, still waiting for new unit. Hopefully this does really fix it.
I hope it stays above macOS long term! Apple shot themselves in the foot many times with gaming on their platform.
But for their laptops the support has dropped to the lowest in years. Some intel MacBooks no longer get the latest version after 6 years.
The fact that it is a open linux device and I can launch in to KDE is the reason I got it. If it was some proprietary OS like other games consoles or Windows, I wouldn’t have bought it. The Steam Deck is such a breath of fresh air compared to how hostile other consumer electronics have become.
