Orion won’t make its way into the hands of consumers

not for you though (unless you're a Meta employee).

but yeah good hardware is good hardware and if i could just use it as a display for any other device i have i would totally use it around the home: following a recipe without having to shuffle my phone and the ingredients; running a lengthy command over ssh and doing chores while i wait, without having to check my phone every couple of minutes to see when it's done...

those things all rely on the software though. will they open it up as a dumb wireless display/terminal, or not? if they don't, it's kinda dead to me no matter how great the hardware is...
