Outrage seems common everywhere today. The good thing about it is that it lasts five minutes. And then they get outraged by something else. Oh, btw I had prescription inserts done for my quest 2 and the company required a prescription too.

It's not good at all. All these outrages allow assholes to get away with shitty things. Unfortunately the media treats every story as the end of the world... And then move on after 48h

And that's why I rarely read/watch news. Usually the signal to noise ratio is a bit better on Reddit because I can avoid the worse subreddits, and I'm hoping lemmy will get there (e.g. I loved the /r/neural* series of subreddits).

This just smacks of stupid entitlement. Nobody is forcing you to buy the product and they're upfront about what you need to do to get one. I wish there were more hackable/open headsets at a reasonable price (I'm a Linux user, so open firmware is important to me), but they don't, so I'll wait until there is. If Apple wants a controlled experience, that's totally fine, I just won't buy it.

How is that working out for you? I just use the glasses spacer on my HP Reverb G2 but I have considered in the past getting lens replacements if its a significant improvement in some way.

They worked great while I owned the Quest 2.
