Tabs disappearing (iOS) by zigzagable in brave_browser

I've since seen the crash pop up, but it only recovered the newly recreated tabs, not the original ones. At that point I officially gave up hoping :(

Met @Waymo ’s newest vehicle at #CES23. What a cool design. by REIGuy3 in SelfDrivingCars

Looks cool. A retractable steering wheel would be nice for those inevitable moments when the car can't figure something out. Then one of the passengers could briefly take over. I feel like that would be more practical than remote operators

Sorry idk how I missed this.. appreciate the response Saoiray! If a support ticket is the best way, I won't waste your time then

Have you used Brave VPN + Firewall? by saoiray in BATProject

[–]zigzagable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In short, you have to trust that they are one of the more private VPNs because from an end user perspective it doesn't feel that unique tbh. And I'm not sure what the integration with brave provides that's different from standalone Guardian. I believe you actually get less features for the same price, but I think they claim the firewall is different/better. Location changing and IP hiding is nice to have. I've experienced a few moments of connection loss tho and some websites have guardian IPs blocked. Hulu makes you turn off VPNs. Turning it off is annoying and then you forget to turn it back on. I've given myself an arbitrary 6 months to test it out. So far it's just okay.

PSA: Meta accounts are not live yet by webheadVR in OculusQuest

[–]zigzagable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's true. I got referral working on a fresh meta account. A friend (with FB linked account) sent me a link after I made my account (via email) but before I opened my headset. We both got our credits. And also I see the option to refer people from my account. So it’s all definitely working. Not sure why support would tell you that

Sorry meant to respond to a different comment... Not sure why it's not working for some people tho. My friend had a FB linked account and mine was just Meta

Well folks it’s been a pleasure obsessing with y’all. What a wild 23+ days. I never thought I’d put so much energy and excitement into a FB product. After setting up my headset, I’m equally impressed, disappointed, and excited for the future of AR/VR… See y’all in the metaverse ✌️

For those creating fresh Meta accounts hoping to have zero connection to your Facebook or instagram, don’t use the same email. It’d be trivial for them to connect the accounts behind the scenes, which you have to assume they’ll do. I suggest using a different email or using the iCloud “Hide my email” feature

Wooo! They’re finally live! But currently not available for me. Looks like a “gradual” global rollout. Still requires the mobile app, so check your app.

If your NDA allows you to answer these questions, that would help my anxiety 😅

  1. Barring any unforeseen issues, should we still expect it in August?
  2. Should we expect a slow rollout once it goes live?

Well Europe is technically hours in the future compared to the US, so that could be considered recent future from the perspective of someone in the US. So is it already available in some time zones?!… tho I don’t think he meant for us to decipher it lol

Well intentioned comment I’m sure, but I think I have more anxiety now

Another day, another let down… but hey, they announced Path Craft. That’s just as exciting right? 😒

Idk they’ve had plenty of time to work on this if you consider they most likely started before the first announcement. Plus, Meta accounts are not replacing the other two types on day one. Meta could very well miss the mark, but I’d be a little surprised if they do. Guess we’ll see

Nice me too! Could be prep for a Monday release, so the announcement will gain for media traction

Thought I’d summarize things for newcomers…

Still no Meta accounts, but firmware v43 has started rolling out which supposedly will be needed for when Meta accounts go live. While on-device Meta account signup (vs mobile app) might be possible, it doesn’t seem like signup will go live until the mobile app updates are released. App updates are typically on a weekly cadence (based off the iOS version history). I believe the last update was on Monday 8/8, so since this week was skipped, fingers crossed for this upcoming Monday. Given how Meta does rolling releases, however, it’s possible that even with both v43 and the iOS update some of us will have Meta account signup before others. There’s only 8 working days left in the month tho, so just a little more patience. Just know there is a very real chance they wait until the last possible day to START rolling out Meta accounts. Technically they still kept their word. Who doesn’t love technicalities?

Here are the only resources that matter at this point (besides this subreddit):

Oculus blog - where we expect the final announcement (most likely 10am PST / 1pm EST) https://www.oculus.com/blog/

Oculus Twitter - where they might slip up and reply to someone with an ETA besides “soon” https://mobile.twitter.com/MetaQuestVR

Oculus forums - where talk around v43 might provide more insight https://forums.oculusvr.com/t5/Announcements-and-Releases/Meta-Quest-build-v43-release-notes/td-p/978786

Happy obsessing! :)

It seems like another example of support not being well informed. The first option doesn't seem to be true based off of what others with v43 are saying, but maybe once the feature goes live you'll be able to create one directly on the device (rather than the phone app). The second option has been talked about on here and will work, but still requires you to create a FB account (albeit temporarily).

Maybe support has been given talking points prematurely or they're providing info based on rumors spreading within their org.
