Cries in my ongoing Apple Watch Series 6 battery replacement
Seriously, how close can you even put a screen and a metal casing?! Incredibly tiny gap that is impossible to jimmy open. I'm on day 3 trying to get this bastard open now...
Incidentally, just replaced batteries in my Apple Watch S6, MBP M1 2020, and iPhone 12 Pro Max during a one-day visit to Shenzhen. A dude in Huaqiangbei did everything in two hours for a small fraction of what Apple would charge.
ECG stopped working reliably after the battery replacement, but otherwise the watch should be good for another few years (stuck on watchOS 26.x)
I intend to.
They don't sell steam deck/it's parts where I live. So the next time people visit me from far away, they'd have to bring one along.
That being said, steam deck isn't as powerful to play some of the games like Spider-Man 2. The stuttering is quite high on that.
Seriously, please don't throw away perfectly functioning hardware just to avoid unscrewing a few screws.

Yeah, it's a tragedy that we throw devices away because the battery has a short expiration date :/
At least I guess watches are on the more understandable end of the "hard to repair" continuum.
