Gaming handhelds, like the Switch and Steam Deck, will need to have a replaceable battery by 2027
overkill.wtf
Could EU law make it so any future Steam Deck would have a replaceable battery?

    It’s a good thing Valve makes the official parts and tutorials available on ifixit for the deck

      The battery is still unnecessarily glued in with permanent adhesive that requires a heat gun to melt it though.

      I never understand why batteries need to be glued in at all, surely pure friction will keep them in place. If you really need them stuck down use pull tabs.
