    VR has been a thing for years now and has been getting cheaper over time. I’ve had no interest in using it whatsoever. Clearly the thing that needed to change was for it to get MORE expensive. Thanks Apple! Always giving the customer what they didn’t know they wanted!

      I had a go on a VR helmet and thought it was kind of fun, but at the moment the options seem to be an affordable one that’s infested with Facebook nonsense, or the Valve/Apple ones which are presumably less intrusive but cost a fortune. So I’m fine to just do without until someone figures out how to do it in a cheap, open-source kind of way, like the raspberry pi of VR helmets.

      That might not even be possible, but in that case I’m also fine to just do without TBH.

      Except you can… it’s a computer. It has a web browser and can play any file… that whole uproar was just about certain formats of VR porn not being supported. Which you can install by side loading.

    First thing I’d do is put two half ping pong balls over my eyes to mess with eye display feature, then I’d get rid… Not like I can play dcs with it anyway
