Haven’t heard a peep about it in the months since it came out and all the bazinga-brained tech bloggers creamed themselves over it and wore it everywhere. Did it hit hard and then fade equally hard, like all VR? Are all the headsets just hanging on the wall unused now? I’ve never seen one IRL still.

    There was the dude who strapped on the headset while driving his cybertruck who broke the record for most carnist use of techbro stuff imaginable.

    Oh it was fake, the guy was doing a stunt for his channel and the headset wasn’t on and he was just staged driving straight on the road with his knees and it worked considering pety butt-geeg fell for it. Amazing bit props to that kid for pull it off since it got viral just as he wanted it to.

    Global South children don’t have their childhoods because they were busy mining for the minerals needed to make white devils in the West play with barely prototyped technology that sounded cool on paper but was complete shit in an actual working class persons life. That’s what I think and anyone who bought it should donate half of their salary to Palestine for the next year to allow me to forgive them (not sure if Allah will though). I believe it has a really shitty 3 hour battery life which just makes it vaporware for literally any use case besides messing around in your house larping as tech jesus.

    Apple products strike the ceiling of which working class people (in the Global North) are able to pay but the headset could only be bought by failchildren and VC techbros so it most likely flopped hard compared to their iPhone and Mac machines.
