VR porn a no go for Apple Vision Pro users as capability blocked by Apple
- mouse_ 3y agoWhere there's a screen, there's a way.
- kennethrc 3y agoThat sentence feels like it's missing an "... um" (or two)
- planede 3y agoDo they actively block porn, or the browser just doesn't support rendering VR content yet?
- Lalabadie 3y agoAll I'm thinking of is the Vision pro tracks where your hands are going.
- lordswork 3y agoIt is not actively blocked. The title is click bait. Just requires enabling some settings in Safari.
- sveinbjornp 3y agoThe latter. Terrible writing.
- lordswork 3y agoTerrible journalism. The sole source is a reddit post, which also points out this is just a default setting that can be overridden easily: Go to "Settings". Click the "Apps" icon and then the "Safari" icon. Scroll down and find "Advanced." In the Advanced tab, scroll down to the bottom and click on "Feature Flags." There are four settings you need to enable: WebXR Device API WebXR Hand Input Module WebXR Augmented Reality Module WebXR Gamepads Module
- PUSH_AX 3y agoWait so it's not even a moral stance on a default setting? It's just some technical feature flags? Yeah that is next level awful reporting.

- insane_dreamer 3y agoApple should learn from history: porn helped drive the adoption of VHS as a standard over Betamax.
- rymiel 3y agoThis is an urban legend
- DerekL 3y agoThis is false. VHS had the advantage of larger cartridges, which allows longer recording time, which is especially important for time shifting TV shows (and not at all important for porn). Also, JVC licensed VHS to other recorder manufactures, which lowered prices and increased the number of available models. Also, why would porn not be available on Betamax? You never needed a license from the format owner to prerecord tapes.
- alienicecream 3y agoJust stop watching porn, it's not good for you.
