Both Librem 5 and Steam Deck aren't the cheapest pieces of hardware around, for some good reasons. However, did you know that you can easily get your return on investment by harvesting free power? It's easy, just connect them to each other and both devices will be charging at once. Use this to recharge the batteries, so you can then plug something else in to feed of the free energy you just collected. Follow for more tech tips!

@dos The Power of Linux
@dos ok, wtf
@dos Haha, Electroboom said free energy isn't possible, but it is possible with the power of Free Software
@nima Jokes aside, I don't think the place where Valve messed it up is actually FLOSS; my informed guess is that this is part of their EC firmware and AFAIK it isn't free (they did mention doing some groundwork for opening it up eventually, but that was years ago already) 🤔
@dos Free Software == Free Energy
