A good opportunity to ditch Meta if you're still using it for some reason.
I understand there's arguments about "this is not new, they've been working on VR for a decade" - fine, but it's Zuckerberg, who apparently never does anything in good faith (see: the Winklevoss twins, Whatsapp, Snapchat, Libra, etc)
I'm sure they only have VR in order to onboard people to blue app. People have gotten banned and their only recourse is to buy an Oculus. Convenient.
I'll sell them my birth date information. They already got their filthy lucre from buying and selling my name all over the place, why shouldn't I get a cut from things I own?
This is why tech giants want to dissolve governments and the regulatory agencies.
This is why tech ceos need to be afraid to leave their bunkers.
I always use the birthday of a friend of mine. That way if they if I have to validate something in the future, I've used a consistent date.
I've been using 6/9/1969 since I was 11 using the same rationale and haven't found a compelling reason to change.
Bruh im looking at buying a used quest 2 because they offer such a compelling value. But seriously do I have to make an account just to use the damn thing? What if I only use it teathered to my pc?
I have one that I used to use with my PC (switched to linux and it's a pain in the ass to do is why I stopped). I would still have to log in to start the app to hook to my PC.
Yes. It's much like Android, iOS and Windows where you are the product so you can't do literally anything without an account.
I mean, they, really want that data, so just give them that (random) data.
Edit: if they verify, use date of friend/family member. Scramble that data.
Why use that data? Just put it to Jan 1 1900, like everyone else on porn sites.
They just really want to get to know you.
That's how you get fake credentials meta
