Read about True Value hardware declaring bankruptcy today: finance.yahoo.com/news/true-va…
Which seemed odd to me, as they've been around for long time selling low-priced items.
It took me exactly one search to find perhaps another reason beyond the claimed "the housing market stalled and consumers have become far more picky about discretionary purchases like hardware” for the news:
True Value was a co-op that demutualized and sold itself to private equity. After draining it, private equity chaptered it and sold it to … a cooperative!

Valve still waiting on a 'generational leap' for Steam Deck 2 - but it's coming
Valve gave us the strongest wording yet that a Steam Deck 2 is actually real, although it's still clearly going to be some time away before there's enough of an upgrade.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I hope Valve considers making a "console" like PC, something that can fit on my entertainment shelf. Targeting the same performance as a PS5 is what I want. SteamOS is a must.
I would then just stream the games from the desktop PC to the Deck for games that don't run well on the Deck.

Es lo que más profundamente me desalienta del rollo "IA", la robótica y tecnología en general: lo deprimente y profundamente deshumanizante de las aplicaciones que se proponen (que además se proponen con un enfoque de "tengo una herramienta, para qué la uso" y no al revés).
