#2This kinda breaks online and also kneecaps some offline apps. Still, if your Quest is just your portal to Virtual Desktop, you'll find this very useful as it removes the worst parts of the Quest as a wireless PCVR headset. Good luck!

#3Stuff like this is great fun, but if we just don't buy things from known bad actors in the first place, we can save ourselves the trouble of playing whack-a-mole.

Agree in general but if the hardware is subsidized and you're able to excise the bad actor's trash from the device, you come out ahead and the company loses a bit.

Do you know by chance what breaks? For example, would immersed [0] still work, or tethered Steam VR?

This is similar to iOS or Android. You can stand on your soapbox and preach to the choir, but at the end of the day there is only so many choices.
I like this solution because you still get to use the hardware and use the apps, but it denies the overlords of the thing they want the most.

#7Why not HTC Vive though? Better development, better privacy, more game support.

Don't take away the satisfaction this dev received from accomplishing a big FUCK YOU to the Zuck by releasing this. I'm sure it'll be a cat&mouse type of situation where Oculus will release an update that renders this useless, then these devs will update their end, and on it goes.

#9This is good for people who already own them, but please don't buy one because of this. Increasing Facebook's sales numbers on these will only serve to encourage their behavior and hurt competitors.
