I’m confident you’re correct. Also, as always, the surveillance isn’t for the reason they state; it’s just an excuse. They want to monitor all the people. They’ll be able to track when and where everyone goes in rural areas. Urban areas are mostly covered by Flock.

I’m 90% sure it’s not to actually be used. It’s to make people post about it online and have their brand pop up. It’s a product that requires no R&D and they can create a nice story of their product connecting families. It’s good marketing honestly. It’s got people talking about it here at least without even realizing they’re sharing an ad.

A few years ago I purchased an NVMe SSD, and an adapter, without thinking much of it. I try to use it, only to find out it isn’t recognized. My motherboard didn’t support it. I had to manually download files for it and patch in support to the motherbord’s firmware. You haven’t lived until you do this.

That doesn’t make it a Linux issue. It’s an issue with some component that is in a Linux distribution, but it probably has nothing to do with the Linux operating system. It sounds like it’s specifically some component of the Deck at fault, not a part of Linux.
