The new Meta Quest Software Update Tool is a webpage that uses the WebUSB API to sideload the latest update to your USB-connected Quest headset.
WebUSB works on Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS, and even Android via Chromium browsers such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Samsung Internet. That means you can use the Meta Quest Software Update Tool on almost any host device except an iPhone or iPad, and if you’re using a Mac you’ll need to use a browser other than Safari.
I mean, fuck Meta sure, but the Oculous is a decent headset. (granted quest is lower end)
It’s a pretty decent mid-level system that’s actually affordable. There are worse options for a little less or the same price, and better options that are pretty pricey.
It could be even better if someone manages to hack it and make a custom OS tho… It’s capable of doing a lot more through apps than it allows to be done just through the system and there’s a fuckton of things that should just be part of the default experience.
“fuck Meta but buy their products” is internally inconsistent.
That isn’t necessarily your point, but how good their products might be simply doesn’t matter.
Yeah, I wasn’t intending to say go buy it. Just saying it’s decent hardware despite meta being a really shitty company.
