#3Apparently a message prompting users that they can enable 'adb' on their devices by navigating to "Settings > Debug > ADB Enabled" has existed for over a month although majority have been unsuccessful due to the Setting not existing! [0] [1]

I’m very interested to see if this develops until a full bootloader unlock. Picked up CIB hardware on eBay for $70. A general purpose Linux kiosk for this price is a no brainer.

#7Is this the same Portal device that they disabled every feature on other than Messenger and WhatsApp calls that I can now only use as a bluetooth speaker?

Wow, this feels weird.
It reads like "hey guys, we don't care about this product anymore. Although you can continue to support it using AI because we're too lazy"
Respect to Meta for unlocking ADB though.

#9Interesting, does that mean we might get root support on the old unsupported Quest devices too? The Q1 is already discontinued and no more updates yet still locked down, and they did something similar for the Ofulus go, providing a rooted boot image for it
Next would be recovery tools too, so they're not paperweights

The post just explains along with the new ADB access, you can now also build your own hacks or port existing apps to run on your Portal using newly published AI skills (originally built for Meta Quest/Horizon OS) that document the technical specifics about the device and certain limitations that an agent then can use to build something quickly.
