    What the actual fuck!

    Seriously? My kid still uses the headset… He liked it. Had one way before Facebook/meta took over…way before they forced a Facebook signing thing…

    God DAMN I hate modern tech companies.

    I still have an electronic RC car from the 70s in my garage from my childhood. I can put in batteries and play with it. The stupid bb8 remote control toy my kid got is obsolete because the servers it needed to work were shutdown…

      So you can see why I made this community I guess. And why I made the change.org petition to force companies to open up the devices they abandon. This would immediately reduce ewaste and make items we buy actually ours. Feel free to search for it on change.org and sign it. Hell, tell your friends about it and the parents at your kids school and let them sign it as well. Thats why I did this. To change things.

        The devices were “Oculus Quest and Quest 2” well into 2021

        My quest 2 still has the Oculus logo and name on it, the instructions are the same, and I didn’t need a Meta account to log in until the name change
