Pointing out that you’re whining about something thats irrelevant isn’t excsing shit, but reading comprehension is hard for you I guess.
The initial point was that the dick move was blocking developers who wanted to and were able from sending content hosted on metas server to Quest 1 headsets. I responded with a sarcastic comment giving people a way to get around that dickheaded move by sideloading
It is not related in any way to not giving security updates anymore. That’s normal EOL shit for devices and software. If you don’t like that or don’t like how long meta offered support that’s a you issue and I did not comment on it other than pointing out that 5 years is normal update life on devices like that after you already changed the subject
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
But no, it’s a garbage implementation of giving you a digital avatar that displays arms in a first person view by guessing where they must be based off of controller position.
It clearly doesn’t use the cams on the device cuz they’re bad
Oh no, Meta is shutting down official support for an old system?
Good thing nobodys made an alternate store front that’s piss easy to use on any of their devices and gives 0 fucks about their rules, that would make their dickheaded moves almost entirely pointless!
But that doesn’t give security updates.
That’s what happens with old devices and dealing with it is part of the cost of using them
Bro the quest is only 5 years old. And stop excusing shitty practices just because they are the normal.
Lol, the famously great reading comprehension of the Internet.
I didn’t excuse shit
5 years of updates is a pretty normal timeline for mobile devices

its perfectly relevant to the conversation.
Get out of this reddit mentality you have where every interaction you have with another person on the internet is an argument you’re trying to “win”.
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.
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

So they made you join the army?
I wish they gave me a firearm

What? I’m guessing they made it so your arms show up in-game somehow???
Not in games, but in the main hub menu of the device
It tries to guess where your arms are based on controller position
It’s c r a p
Yes, because of John Fifth-Dimensional-Being-Pretending-to-be-a-Human Carmack.
