Let's talk about every Oculus Rift in the world getting soft-bricked today.
arstechnica.com
Here's a few things a $2 billion company with some of the brightest engineers in America failed to do:
>renew their code certificates
>check if the certificate was expiring
>countersign their certificates when using them
>make a public response in less than 6 hours
>push out any kind of emergency update
How could this happen, Sup Forums? What went wrong?

It took them almost a year for them to let you have your game data on a separate drive. Not surprised at the least.
Diversity highers
But he was our chosen one
even occulus do that?
It's facebook. So, yes
Occulus is part of Facebook, so yeah.
Wow...
He's not part of occulus anymore
Yes he is. You're thinking of Palmer Luckey who was a hack anyway.
Remember when they advertised it as a hacker-friendly device with great GNU/Linux compatibility?
You say this like people should be surprised that Jews are trash. I'll only say this once; Jews are not the brainboxes they make themselves out to be. They fund people who are brainboxes, they buy inventions from brainboxes, they don't invent anything themselves because they aren't brainboxes. Then people say things like "lmao my dude they must be brainboxes they've been running banks, and by proxy the world, for centuries" and while that's true they would have ended up memed a long time ago the same way the Medicis were if it weren't for Machiavelli literally teaching them how not to fuck up in order to have his sentence overturned. So even that, the one thing that any goy can point at and say "HA! JEWISH MASTERRACE 400IQ YOU FUCKING RACIST!", was literally and unironically devised and put in place by someone who wasn't even a Jew. It's sad as fuck to even think about. Of course I could be wrong and all of the facts are just pure coincidence. Just like the fact that 25% of all Nobel Prize winners, the brainbox of all brainbox awards, are awarded to Israelis. The same Israelis who find it completely impossible to run a country on their own and constantly need the goy US taxpayers to keep them afloat. To repeat my; sad as fuck.
Prove me wrong. Protip: You can't because I'm right. Delete this fucking thread.
>they can't push an auto-update because that's part of the runtime
>they can't notify their users because that's part of the runtime
There's no way to weasel out of this. No sneaky push updates, no automatic fixes. Every Rift owner in the world will have to troubleshoot their headsets.
Diversity hires are a myth. I don't know a single white boy with a cs degree that does not have a job. They do the hires because they literally can't get anyone else
...
t. pajeet
Doesn't prove me wrong
Ashkenazi Jews are ethnically european.

Don't they have a tax that force them to push diversity as well?
these are the VR dark times
So no different than any other time.
Yes it does, retard.
Have you tried chaging your windows system (assuming you use windows) date to previous date? It should work.
>There are numerous complaints on Twitter from users who were working in VR but have seen their work days grind to a halt or those who were performing demos for important audiences only to be unable to complete them.
>Some users have reported that changing a computer's date to an earlier one makes the Oculus usable.
This is embarrassing. This shows that no one at the company really has a picture of what is really going on and managing things. What an expensive mess.
The recruiter in question was ordered by management to destroy all applications from white males. It literally proves you wrong.
Oculus is finished. Nobody wants to use their locked down prison of a vr system
This is embarassing for Facebook
Why did Facebook even buy it if no one would touch shit they are associated with
S
because they're indoors on Sup Forums for 16 hours a day
They recently overtook the Vive for most used headset on steam, then they go and do this, what a bunch of ass clowns.
Doesn't matter, they're still way cheaper than the Vive
enjoy your paperweight
get back to your containment board
>brought mine 2 weeks ago with all my savings
I find this quite funny.
Could you imagine if the rift actually had Linux support like they promised? Imagine all the Windows users being locked out while all the Linux users play in vr land.
Nice ad hominemy attack, you sure proved us wrong
If I understand correctly, they cannot put out a new patch on their normal update channel. So they're just gonna have to put a new exe on their website and email people to download that?
>spends entirety of savings on shifty first generation tech trend
>highers
ever think it is maybe they can spell better than you?
TIME TO BUY EM CHEAP ON EBAY
fuck u son of basterd bitch
they fixed it. took em pretty damn long though.
oculus.com
I assume its a separate download because the runtime could no longer make contact with the servers and couldn't even remotely update
>>highers
>2018
>VR, AR, ETC
LMAO
WHOS GOT THAT PORN GIF WITH ZUCKS FACE SHOOPED ON
>He didn't buy a Vive
>muh orthography
>boring facebook meme shit
>waah stop pointing out how dumb I am
Wasted on newfaggotry
Been here for 8 years, buddy.
>lying on the internet
>highers
Are you telling me that you have to be connected to the Internet to use that thing? How does it work? wtf? And people are okay with it?
holy shit
It's pointless. I've no ID for the lie to be attached to and this thread will die in hours. Just because you don't like the way I post doesn't mean I've only been here a few weeks or anything. It simply means you don't like my posts. I've been here for the better half a decade whether you believe me or not.
>He's only been here for 8 years
I have been trapped here for 11 years
You poor man. I thought the death of recaptcha v1 would be my escape but here I am
>hardware has expiration date firmware wise.
THE WORLD WE CHOSE
>Gaming peripheral with business problems
This absolutely belongs on Sup Forums.
>proprietary software
not even once
NO YOU FAGGOT, YOUR EXPENSIVE HARDWARE HAS A FIRMWARE KILL SWITCH WHERE THE SOFTWARE TELLS IT HOW LONG IT CAN RUN BEFORE THEY KILL IT, AKA RIFT 2 RELEASES & RIFT OG is KAIBOSHED
lmao
zucced!
I didnt choose it
(((they))) did
What is Equal Opportunity Employer?
IT IS A BRAVE NEW WORLD,GENTLEMEN IMAGINE A WORLD WERE YOU BOUGHT A CPU,NO A 1000 USD GPU AND YOU THOUGHT YOU GOT THE HARDWARE AND A WORKING GPU,WELL YOU WOULD BE WRONG YOU PAYED FOR THE PRIVILEGED TO HAVE THE HARDWARE AND PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE.THE GPU HAS A 5 RENT LEASE,AFTER IT BECOME A BRICK!!!
IT IS A BRAVE NEW WORLD!!
you chose it with your money voting goy
Linux plays games?
LInux has games
>rift 2 has linux support
>integrated quartz clock to make sure your cert expires,and there are no work around so you rift 2 dies when rift 3 is out.
That is newspeak for hiring women, blacks, and hispanics over white and asian males. State-enforced diversity worked out well for south africa. State enforced homosexuality is next
>THE GPU HAS A 5 RENT LEASE,AFTER IT BECOME A BRICK!!!
You say that as if it's a bizarre idea. That's how things like arcade games and console dev kits already work.
I can see a phone carrier doing this. Get a new Galaxy whatever for $200 less, but you have to send it back a year later.
Plus with 5G and the rollout of real cloud computing that thought process will become normalized. Cloud computing will become the norm if current trends continue and we will all pay for gpu time like that
Enthnically European isnt a thing
Ayo da cloud is all powerful mah dude...
Why u be usin that local storage ish mah dog???
Breeeh throw out those blurays n flashdrives cuz.
DIS DA CLOUD AGE FOOL
let dem proffessinz do dey thang u feel me??
Microsoft iz the tha shiz
>didn't use it on the day the day the certificate expired
>don't have to install the patch
I know what they are doing user!
me: They are doing this to us. Its a plan. They lure us all into submission with the date/time trick, hack us while we arent looking, then "patch" the "problem" afterwards emailing everyone "were sorry have 15$ on us m8" but the only way to get that 15 m8 is to add yer credit card to the oculus system then they got you by the balls
