minus-squareBuelldozer@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up9·5 months agoWhat you, @crawancon@lemm.ee and @mipadaitu@lemmy.world are missing is a TV isn’t necessarily a single user item. Deck hooked to the TV to play a game? Great…now what happens when you leave and someone else wants to play? The problem gets even more obvious if you use the Deck as an HTPC to stream content. How does anyone watch a show once the deck has gone walkabout?
