Hear me out; steam deck as a phone. WE CAN BRING BACK SIDETALKING

[-] Eldritch@piefed.world 7 points 4 days ago

You jest. But those of us born in the 70s and before have first-hand knowledge of this magic device.

Behold! 30 minutes of total talk time, with no curly cords or anything!

LOL a Steam Deck isn't even that absurd.

Turns out it's even less absurd than I originally thought! https://github.com/ryanrudolfoba/SteamOS-Waydroid-Installer Waydroid can be installed on the deck, and from there I can do what I want with decent hardware.

Oh, yes, I keep forgetting way droid isn't as well known as I think it is. But, absolutely, combine that with a Bluetooth headset and it's almost sensible.

If I remember correctly, it didn't Windows 11 also have some ability to run Android software as well.
