im confused, its specs are amazing and on paper is more powerful than the meta quest 3, but its mainly being advertised as a streaming headset that goes from your vr spec pc (that is becoming more and more expensive these days for people).

so can it play games natively on the headset or not? i want to get it for my birthday as i see it as a worthy sucessor to my quest 2 that is amazing, but its controllers are drifiting to an unrepairable degree.

imagine no mans sky on it :0

i dont care about all that data stuff.

Multibillionaires certainly seem to, though. That fact alone should concern you.

Privacy should be your fundamental right, not something you have to demand from those who command or can buy influence and power (e.g. billionaires, politicians). What you buy, what you play, who you talk to is what fuels a nearly trillion dollar industry, and you don't get a dime of that, nor do you get much of a say in how that data gets used; if you're a citizen of the EU, the GDPR offers some protection, but it is being undermined all the time.

To say that you don't care about your privacy is like saying you don't care about politics. Maybe you truly don't care, but it's going to affect and influence your life anyway, and not caring only helps the rich and powerful—to the detriment of us all.
