Uhh, Vanguard and Blackrock are ETF providers, those stocks are assets under management

They don’t “control” anything about those companies.

It sure is! The only two things I mention for people thinking of doing it:

  1. Eject the micro SD card first!
  2. Get a decent small screwdriver and be careful with the screws as they have a bit of thread lock on them and I found it was pretty easy to strip. Nearly had one do that for me which was a bit stressful.

But other than that it’s a piece of cake and plenty of guides getting the os on the new drive.

It’s true but from what I have heard it can be a bit of a ball ache getting the warranty with them, but that’s par for the course for grey import so nothing really special about Kogan. They may have a better reputation than most, but with an import you accept it could be a hassle.

That said, I think going with the cheapest and upgrading the SSD is the best choice.

Also wouldn’t hold my breath that if/when a local steam deck is released, it will be at all competitively priced.

If you can deal with the issues of grey import, it’s trivially easy to get one here now. I got a 64gb from Kogan, and since I’m rolling the dice with warranty - did a 1tb SSD upgrade myself.

Definitely happy with my purchase it’s an awesome machine

Except you don’t actually need that level of accuracy when talking about temperatures humans experience.

For example, has the ability to identify outside temperature of 72 fahrenheit, not 71 fahrenheit, ever made a single bit of difference to any persons day to day experience? I really can’t believe that would be true.

Places that use Celsius have no problem referring to temperatures for weather so the argument that farhenheit scale is superior due to more precision doesn’t hold up.

The best temperature scale for weather is always going to be the one that everyone in that area is familiar with and nothing more than that.
