In the video embedded above, you can see ConroyyJenkinss augmented Steam Deck, which has basically sacrificed the Steam Deck’s comfy ergonomics on the altar of defensive design. Its hand-filling gentle curves have been nullified with a 3D-printed case that was modeled by the anti-sharing Steam Deck owner in Blender. We hope this Steam Deck chastity belt is easily detachable by the owner for when ConroyyJenkinss wants to have some fun.
The hostile architecture-inspired case has another scary trick or two up its sleeve, though. “To make it worse, I rigged up a Raspberry Pi with a small speaker, an object detection camera, and a servo motor,” the Redditor explains. “[I] wrote a py script so if the camera sees someone in frame, it plays a goofy audio clip, waits a few seconds and then the servo triggers a taser to scare them away.” So at least those tempted to touch this spiky handheld get warned before potentially being tased.
Most importantly, ConroyyJenkinss asserts that their Steam Deck anti-sharing measures have done the job. “Nobody touches my Steam Deck anymore,” concludes the dangerous DIYer. Answering some queries in the Reddit thread, the embattled Steam Deck owner admits having to remove the case and disarm the taser to use their own handheld is “a hassle but overall worth it.” Now other family members ask permission to have a gaming session on the portable console .
In recent weeks, Steam Decks have joined the ranks of the desirable devices that have been heavily impacted by the RAMpocalypse . It’s nice to share things, but we fully understand ConroyyJenkinss protecting his precious unit, especially against the devil-may-care battery drainers in the family.
