This means that to run apps user has to have online connection to perform an integrity test. Whether it's only a test on launch or continues call home like Denuvo-like DRMs is not yet clear. This could also mean that modified headsets could fail to pass this test essentially closing down the device for modifications that could damage "platform integrity". Not all details are clear yet but this doesn't look good.

Currently it's optional and up to app developers to enable it.

Well now you can :)

still think people complaing about this is weird. Like, they made this change, and removed the facebook integration, and people still act like this is the case.

Nah I'm good. Not really that cool anyway after a few hours.

Maybe one day I'll get a Valve Index.

Maybe one day I’ll get a Valve Index.

But you've already got a Quest?

[–] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No I've got an Oculus Go. And it's got bullshit Facebook spyware on it.

So you bought a Meta VR headset and are surprised that it's got Meta stuff on it?

What "bullshit Facebook spyware" are you talking about?

[–] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No. Read it again. I bought an Oculus Go. And at the time (2018?) I did not know it was bought by Facebook.

[–] Whirlybird@aussie.zone 0 points 1 year ago

You not knowing doesn’t mean it already wasn’t a Facebook device. They bought oculus 4 years earlier.
