  • I’d like a real life adblocker, which unfortunately runs against everyone’s business model.

    The other reason why especially facebook is pushing VR so hard is that they need their own platform to continue to have a business. Right now, their personalized, ad-based business model is severely threatened, because both Android and iOS have shut down 3rd party tracking and continue to do so. So facebook is kind of fucked and needs a hardware platform they control. That’s why they spend so much money on it. I’m pretty sure it’s not because Zuck is a moron living in an 80’s sci-fi world, although that’s of course the more fun story to tell.

    I’m not sure about apple’s motivation here, to be honest. Just creating something to kick facebook out would probably not be enough of a motivation to spend so much money and developing their own thing. Maybe to keep the hype and stock price up? They don’t have a lot of other interesting things to show at the moment. No “AI” crap like the others have and flashy innovation basically halted with smartphones/laptops etc.





  • Thanks, as I said, I tried all the f-buttons already, multiple times, with no success. F10 seems to be the one, but it didn’t work on multiple tries. I’m heading to the office later today where I have different keyboards and displays to try it with.

    Another thing I just found on a reddit post was that the USB stick should be no larger than 4GB. Even if that didn’t cause this problem, I’ll get a small USB stick on the way as well, just in case.
