I bought a second generation of Rift (no idea what model it was, but it was the second retail one, not including the CV1 or whatever dev build it was) - and it was fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

The moment they forced the use of a Facebook account, it stopped getting used. The visor, controllers, and sensors have been sat in a cupboard for a year or two.

I really should see if it has been jailbroken, or if there's a way to utilise the Rift features without any Meta bollocks.

They stopped that years ago. I refused to buy one until it worked without Facebook.

Awesome, so it's usable without an account now?

Honestly, I never checked after I stored it.

they seperated facebook and made it specific to a occulus (meta) account. however at some point of having a meta account, there are methods of outright stripping most of the meta connectivity after granting yourself developer mode and sideloading changes.

Well that's just fuckin awesome, thank you my friend.

That'll be a giggle on the weekend 👍
