Yeah I mean all the major consumer tech problems have done a fair share of this. Google is known for abandoning software not so much hardware. They do abandon hardware too but Microsoft has a much longer grave site list when it comes to abandon hardware then Google. Google basically just has the pixelbook and the pixel slate.

Microsoft has the duo, the zune, surface pro x, the neo, basically every arm-based mobile product I've ever made has been abandoned, The windows phone.... The surface book appears to be dead. Continuum..

Honestly, it's actually less weird than a foldable when you think about it.

It's just two screens which is much more simple of a concept than having one foldable screen with a giant crease in the middle and then one front screen.

I just think because Samsung has such a higher market share it's sort of become the norm. But even the norm in the foldable market is less than 1% of Samsung's market share so either way these are weird niche products.

But it's a shame. Honestly I think LG did it the best with the v60 which had a dual screen case accessory that you could use or choose to leave at home.

But either way it's pretty tragic that no dual screen phones will be on the market.

They abandoned it along time ago. My headset stopped working in Oct 2021 and they said they would replace it. just this week they send me the RMA. So I paid for a device that Sat unusable for over a year and now they want to replace it as they discontinue support for it

Update: I received the replacement headset...it's cosmetically damaged, doesn't work, and they didn't include the hardware for the headset that rests against your face, so it's unusable. I contacted support and asked to reach any sort of supervisor or management (in a very non-paren sort of way), and they told me no. LOL what a joke.

In the late 80s or early 90s, I remember someone having a Nintendo Power Glove and using it in a neat little VR game to show their dad for 20 minutes.

30 years later...

There is this neat headset you can wear and show this neat VR game to your dad for 20 minutes.

30 years later....

There are these neat underwear you...

It's about Eufy (Anker brand) and their cameras. They deserve all the shit in the world over it and hope they have to payout over it, but I still use and will use their batteries and cables.

Writing has been on the wall for a while. Try finding a controller that isn’t half the cost of a Quest 2.

Meta has owned Oculus since before the Rift came out, and that was back in 2016.

A ton of monitors don’t have adjustable heights, just adjustable angles.

Exactly I feel like I’m having to pay to be a beta tester smh

I have one, it was certainly really cool at the time, but firmly a gen 1 product with way too little power. Amazing they got it working at all TBH. OLED screens and full IPD adjustment are nice though.

The biggest problem for me was how shallow the games were and usually 10-20$

Not to mention that you’ll be spending money on every app. I understand there are some free apps but there like 10 in total everything else is 10$ min. But I get it the market is new and innovation isn’t cheap!

>It's a great toy for a certain age range (probably 10-15).

VR is not recommended for children under 13yrs. Especially with a lot of the interactions in VR lobbies, I'd say it's questionable to allow children under 16yrs to use. Ultimately, it's up to the parents though.

had lost all hope in microsoft when they dumped windows os... it was like the best os i have ever used

My duuuuude! Look in to fixing your desk setup.

You could end up with carpel tunnel or something else. Monitor stands, monitor risers, and monitor mounts are fantastic for ensuring your posture is proper! Stay healthy, ya know?

I think that’s a joke. You spent too much time on the buildup though so I feel like you’re serious at the same time.

"The person who bought one"

Hahahahahahahahahahha

Standalone quest 2 VS using a PC are 100% different experiences. Also discovery for what you like can be hard. There are games on quest that let you play every cod map ever made and halo maps as well. Really depends on what you are looking for but the store makes it so hard to find.

Hmm… this is an interesting perspective. I recently changed my battery for the iPhone X but didn't go to Apple for the new $80-90 they're asking (for a 5-6yr old phone that isn't even 3000mAh meanwhile Androids have 6000mAh) and the battery health (iOS Shortcut: PowerUtil) is showing 102% for 1/3rd the price.

Makes sense

Got 2 for my kids, Christmas 2020. They've probably had thousands of hours of use, they love them. Not sure why all the hate (apart from the account stuff). It's a great toy for a certain age range (probably 10-15).

I'd be upset but my kids are transitioning into PC games now.

I'm worried that the levels of Schadenfraude i'm experiencing lately what with with Meta's self-destruct, the collapse of Crypto and the absolute and utter failure of NFT's might lead to an OD.

I'd say you're a rarity. 99% of VR users use it for things other than flightsims.

Flightsims in VR are a very small niche.

VR/AR are converging. No reason to choose one or the other.
