- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

So let me guess, I will need Windows to use the self service tool?
Maybe they could release it as a Chrome extension/app? They have the Chrome OS recovery drive tool that lets you make a USB drive. So I don't see why they couldn't have something that could update the controller via USB cable. But I also am not a coder/dev and lack knowledge of what can or can't be done. It would be good if they can since they really wanted Chromebook users to game via Stadia anyway. Otherwise the Stadia app for Android and iOS was able to get updates going on the controller before anyway and could be used (if they wanted). And if any of the ideas above don't work, then maybe it could be made to work in WINE?
Just from a web developers perspective: providing the tool online without install is possible with WebSerial or WebUSB
I used a Mac to change my Stadia controller to bluetooth. I think the only requirement is shudder Google Chrome.
We'll see
