minus-squarebeastlykings@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up10·6 hours agoIDK about non issue. I have a framework laptop, and even though the battery is very easily replaceable, I still set the charge limit to 80%. I don’t require the extra charge the majority of the time, and now I don’t have to worry about replacing my battery for a much longer period of time. Though I agree, for as serviceable as the steam deck is, a little more attention could’ve been paid to the battery situation.
