But that doesn’t give security updates.

Oh no, Meta is shutting down official support for an old system?

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

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
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
