> Technical know-how is the least of their problems. The tech is irrelevant to me. Facebook's user-hostile and abusive actions have made it so that now anything they make is automatically something I want nothing to do with.

You got it! I have an original Oculus Rift (CV1) and when they were bought by Facebook it was like a kick to the gut. Felt as if Philip Morris or Monsanto bought the company that made my beloved headset. I wish they could be spun off or something so I could use the product with a good conscience. For a while, I could justify using it because my money went to Oculus, not Facebook, but now that they require a Meta account just to use it, no way Jose.



Given that Meta has been losing money on every headset they sell I think you should be buying up as much of their hardware as you can.
