After trying for three hours to unsuccessfully get my Quest 2 to acknowledge that it's connected to a PC so that the apparently contextual "use USB connection for troubleshooting" popup would show up and let me add my current computer as a trusted source, I've reached a level of loathing for Meta that I didn't think was possible.

Like. Let's be 100% clear about something. Consumer VR is not going to be viable at least for the next five years, and it's not because the hardware is too unaffordable -- it's because Meta is a greedy control freak of a company that makes me spin around five times and then get on my knees to beg for permission to work on apps to sell on their platform, and will still arbitrarily refuse me because of the phase of the moon or something.

If this had happened while I was at work, needing to USB troubleshoot something on a Quest 2 and instead doing stupid little dances for the hardware provider and getting nowhere, I would just. Quit. I would quit. And probably throw my Quest through a window.
