The love of aviation spans all walks of life. Even fucked ones.

I appreciate your explanation. Thank you. The point was, I'd have liked to see a comment like that from the start instead of the snarkiness. I tend to get irritated when people just insult each other going "nuh-uh" without any substance. Nobody learns shit that way. If somebody is wrong, just correct them.

Go ahead, explain yourself then, since you seem to think I'm some sort of idiot. Because I have actually done this. And no vague psuedointellectual nonsense, technical details please. Frequencies, protocols, software, that sort of thing. Let's hear your experience in the field.

They are anything but. Somebody with a laptop and a $20 USB SDR stick can see every piece of text flying though the air.

If I did that half my neighbors would own my devices in a week because they like transmitting open access points for setup purposes. I just connect them anyway and then just block them from outbound access at the router if I want to restrict them. That way I can be sure. Then I can use my Homeassistant server to control them from behind the firewall locally if they have that capability.

Yeah but with Steam Deck you're not forced to use it. It's an unlocked x86-64 compatible handheld PC. Install whatever you want.

No, it's great. It means you can make it do anything. You misconstrue my meaning.

You don't even have it game on it if you don't want to. Use it as a server 😂

Other portable console makers: proprietary shit, locked down OSes, DRM embedded in the device at boot, custom/strange architectural choices, walled gardens

Valve: eh, put a fuckin' normal ass gaming PC in a tiny box with joysticks and call it a day.

It kinda does matter if you want updated drivers and packages and stuff. I use Debian because I love its bare bones, generic approach and I'm used to it, but I'd never recommend it for anyone playing the latest games unless they like cruising five years in the past.

I'm not sure that word means what you think it means, Elon. Regulating scam sites is a pretty typical government thing.

Russia can just retreat hundreds of kilometers further east and carry on.

Into what, a wasteland full of snow and bears? Russia might be massive, but it works like Canada. Everybody is huddled into very specific regions for a reason.
