    Lemmy hates Meta but honestly the Quest 3 is a fantastic headset. I use mine semi-regularly for wireless Steam VR.

      Too bad that it will turn into a brick once meta decides to axe their VR department.

        It’s just an android device, someone will make a bootloader unlock and custom rom for it if it comes to that

          I wouldn’t rely on that. Those projects take a ton of time and aren’t always able to activate all the features.

        Why would it? It’s just an android device. LG didn’t brick all their smartphones when they pulled out of that market.
