If you’re just wanting the functionality of a Steamdeck on some other device, there are a variety of ways to accomplish that. If the other device is an Android, you can just install the Steam Link app and you’re off to the races. If it’s something else, depending on the device you can probably get Moonlight running on it, which will accomplish the same thing but will actually have more versatility than you’d get with a Steamdeck anyway.

Honest question: why?
Type C headphones could easily be a thing (and are already). Then you just have the one port, which to me seems better.
Transparency: I’m someone who just uses Bluetooth headphones and I love them, so I have no real horse in this race. I just like not catching a cord on doorknobs anymore, lol
This is tech journalism now? Might as well have had ChatGPT write the article too…what a waste of time
Although, ironically, generated garbage is virtually worthless for SEO.
It helps to separate the technology from the companies. We don’t need Google, Amazon, or any other company to make use of network connected technology. It doesn’t have to be internet-connected, either. You can have a completely automated home with no more risk of intrusion than a standard locked door already has from a well-placed boot.
One other solution to throw into the ring - delete the contact and re-enter it as a “phone only” contact. That way it’s not connected to her Google services whatsoever.
Hey, just a heads up - you can easily install a profanity filter extension on just about any browser, mobile or otherwise. Here’s an example for Chrome:

That way you don’t have to see stuff you don’t want to, but also don’t have to attempt to modify the way other people speak to suit your desires.
Yes, I’m just offering an option to replicate that streaming functionality here. As to versatility, that depends entirely on what you’re doing. There are situations in which the Steamdeck would actually be the far more limited platform compared to what I described.
