What a lame early April fools joke.

Does quest 1 have access to virtual desktop? If so, can you just keep playing off of your computer hardware? Or are those 10kB patches virtual desktop has to download RIGHT NOW five minutes after you start using it really important to the operation of the streamer app?

What would happen if you did a charge back if you bought one with a credit card?

Your bank would probably just deny it, it's been four years since they sold them.

Why? I don't see what blocks people from using it with a PC.

But that doesn't give security updates.

Does this make it possible to use the headset without ever having a Meta account? That's the only way I'd be willing to interact with a Quest device.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Lol, of course not, you have to make an account to enable developer options to enable side loading

The stealing of our data is how they make the headset so cheap

Hopefully, someone is sitting on a root workaround, and will reveal it once the updates stop.

I'd buy a second hand one, if there was a way to use it without any meta involvement.

I'm expecting it, tbh

I have a quest 2 and it's actually a FANTASTIC headset, but I want to rip the meta shit out

Not even because they're a gross company (tho they are), I use a burner account with burner info and play in a gray room through a router specifically for my VR (almost completely lag free wireless this way, it works) but because I HATE that they made you have arms in an update and didn't let us turn it off. They're horrid

they made you have arms in an update and didn’t let us turn it off

What? I'm guessing they made it so your arms show up in-game somehow???

I’m really hoping that Valve releases a new headset by the time my Quest inevitably becomes unusable.
