I’d be curious to see how things would have played out without them acquiring Oculus.
At the very least Meta is loosing billions with their VR adventure, so if nothing else, they’re not doing something else potentially way worse with this money.
@detalferous@lemm.ee You don’t need a Facebook account, but you will need a Meta account, which is arguably basically the same thing.
It’s a stand-alone android machine, so it’s using a linux kernel most likely. But that isn’t what you mean. You won’t be able to easily wipe the OS and install anything else.
Not sure if it has a link-cable to connect to a Steam PC like the Quest2 had. If so then that will work to connect it to Linux just as well as any other headset, but VR on Linux/Steam in general is pretty poor.
If I buy one I’ll ban it from WIFI except when actually downloading games.
Ah, I really wish Oculus had sold themselves to almost any other company on the planet :(

What else could they do? They’re already big in AI. Just more share-buy-backs to pump the price most likely?
So you still need an account to use this, it is it just hardware?
Does it work on Linux?
Looks like you do?
Fuck off Zuckerberg
