            @MagnamoniousRex: Is there actually any proof of this or are you just comparing what you see on facebook to what you see on youtube?

            the algorithm picks up on what you react to and watch the most, this is the same for both Youtube and Facebook. If you're seeing violent pro trump shit on your facebook feed more so than your youtube feed, this means you've responded to (profanity) on facebook re: trump a shit ton more than you have on youtube.

        Can you elaborate on what personal info you are talking about? Games you are playing? Porn you are watching? How it affects your life? Apple and Google have been collecting this info for 10+ years and nobody cared.

        You sound like they are selling your credit card details and your naked photos in the darknet. In reality, they sell your likes and your interests (which you disclose through messages and comments) to ad providers. That's it. Personally, don't see issues with that, at least ads will be more relevant, and since you have no choice it is better to see relevant ads than random ones.

          Facebook can only survive by manipulating your data. Google has the biggest and second biggest (YouTube) search engines in the world. It has a huge business in mobile phones and operating systems and cloud computing infrastructure. Their policy has to be to protect you as much as possible to get bigger and stronger. Facebook has to manipulate your data to grow. It has nothing else. Huge difference between Facebook and other tech companies like Apple and Google.

            @[Deactivated]: What the hell are you talking about? Google are exactly the same as Facebook, but with less public visibility of their dirty practices. AdWords, Youtube advertising, search ranking, suggested news - that's where Google's money comes from, in exactly the same way as Facebook's money. And as @mitchins says, if you use an Android phone - you're already giving up more to Google than if you have a fairly inactive Facebook account.

            • [Deactivated] on 15/01/2021 - 10:18

              @trankillity: Look I get what you are saying and all these major tech companies have become very powerful. But you have to go by the evidence in recent years.

              Has there been evidence to show that Google has collected sensitive information and handed it off to an extreme regime (like China), ever sold your information to another company to exploit you and rig your country's elections? Has it been shown that Google has manipulated the last two elections in the most powerful country in the world? Facebook has been accused and shown to have done all these activities. Until that happens in relation to Google you can't compare the two and they are not the same.

        That's against Facebook's ToS, so if you get found out - you lose everything. All stuff you've bought, access to your account, AND access to your Quest using that account.

      The problem is that Facebook permabans every 10th or so account now, both fake and real ones, if you use it for Oculus. Often bans come without even asking for an ID.
      And even if they do ask to confirm your real identity, there is something inherently wrong with giving your Australian government ID to an American giant with such bad reputation…

        • trankillity on 15/01/2021 - 09:39

          You're missing out if you aren't buying on Oculus where possible. Cross-Buy for a lot of games means you get the native Quest version which you can take on the go with you, as well as the PC version of the game. Being completely untethered and being able to play literally anywhere is pretty incredible.

      64gb fine for gaming, 256gb if you're a content creator and loading videos directly for playback.

      Some of my 8K 360 videos are about 200GB in a general render.

      • yfxsmike on 14/01/2021 - 22:31

      I love my 64GB Quest 2 and have no regrets about getting that size model.

      Plus if you know what you are doing and are mainly going to play it at home near your home wifi point you can stream games to it from your PC quite easily with the Virtual Desktop app so don't even need to store the games on the Quest directly.

    • [Deactivated] on 14/01/2021 - 21:58

      Honestly it’s fine… if you need 256gb most likely you aren’t finishing the games anyway.

    • RI4V4N on 14/01/2021 - 22:11

      Quest games are all pretty low GB wise. Usually like 0.5gig-2gig. Can just redownload too.

    • SrMoure on 14/01/2021 - 22:30

      I'd get the 256gb. You can download all the games because it's risky to buy them form the store due to fb account bans.

      I have the quest 1 64gb and I wish I had 256gb. Almost tempted to buy this one, but the quest 1 is working great and there are no huge performance differences

      • reloxation on 14/01/2021 - 22:48

        What do you mean download the games? If you're talking about sideloading, most of the big name games aren't on there. If you're talking about downloading the games to a computer, why would you need the 256gb?

I don't think where you sign up actually matters. They also do ID verification any time they are concerned over your account's legitimacy, so there's that too.

                          @reloxation: I've never been banned.. the point is it's not hard to make a new account if you ever are banned - hell just look at all the fake accounts that proliferated during the past few years with all the political and anti-covid trolling that was doing the rounds. But luckily thinking outside the box is too difficult for some and they'll be forever banned so I guess the best policy for them is - don't buy any hardware where it requires you to connect the hardware to an online account.. so forget all apple devices, most android devices, amazon devices etc. Probably best if we don't have them online in the first place..

        What? The streaming from PC to headset has nothing to do with how good your internet connection is, it's to do with your wifi network hardware and frequency. For example, a 5ghz wifi 6 gaming router should provide much better performance than an ISP provided 2.4ghz wifi 5 router.

          Just a heads up- you don't need to buy the official or a cheaper Link cable -I spent $25 on a Kiwi cable, it does work, but is heavy and pulls down on the visor. I discovered I can use a Kmart 3 Meter phone charger cable which is USB 3.0 $5 and a micro USB to USB C adapter $6.
          It is lighter and white to match the headset. If your wifi is 2.4 GHz and ISP speeds slow using wireless link will be hit and miss. Overall I find it a great headset. Though Ive had to make some mods to the headband to make it more comfortable. (reject shop $7 steering wheel cover with all ready Velcro cushions a life saver.

        It's pretty good but the clarity just isn't there yet.

        It's there, just not on entry level models as yet. We have both the Q2 and the latest Reverb and the latter is like having a pair of 1440p monitors strapped to your eyeballs. Being tethered isn't fun and of course it's double the price, but the visuals are very impressive. It will only be another year or two before those optics filter down to entry level headsets.

      Does it cause motion sickness? I don't want to throw up when watching porn.

        This took a dark turn. I was hoping for buy pistol whip or the climb 2 looks awesome. But I guess it is after 8.

        Not when you're watching porn no from my experience, not to worry.

        I would throw up with console / pc games, but cause the screen is attached to your head, and looks where you look, I haven’t got
        Motion sickness yet.
