I really hope that this sets a precedent in the industry. I hate that sideloading is still somewhat of a "taboo" thing for hardware that you own.

- tombert 5y agoWell, it typically voids your warranty entirely for one, and the terms of service usually use scary language telling you to never modify anything.

- capableweb 5y agoNot exactly "Taboo" but some banking apps will refuse to load on Android if they detect your phone as rooted. Maybe there are apps doing similar stuff on iPhone as well, wouldn't surprise me.
- realusername 5y agoYes there's definitely a PR push which pretend that custom roms & rooted devices are insecure whereas security is an orthogonal concept to that in reality, there's a lot of custom roms which are more secure than the base rom.

If you don't want any of that, you can pay the 2x price premium[0]. 0: https://i.judge.sh/crisp/Flutter/chrome_4DP6M2oZzB.png https://i.judge.sh/crisp/Flutter/chrome_4DP6M2oZzB.png (from https://business.oculus.com/products/ https://business.oculus.com/products/ )
- croes 5y agoIf you own a Quest 1, you did pay to not log in with FB. You bought software and now you will be blocked to access your software when the FB login gets mandatory next year for all quest devices.
