Ah, so no playing oculus either?
What's scary is that my gaming machine can't be used because of some weird obsession with centralizing oculus through facebook. As a customer that's inexcusable but now imagine a developer who hosts her own servers for her game and her customers can't get to it. Facebook is only providing middle-man authentication, its not even hosting these games. If they were hosted by FB it would be fine, but they aren't and what we're suffering under is FB being the gatekeeper to the rest of the internet. That is a scary prospect.
I also question why we all think its acceptable to have these incredible BGP outages every 3-6 months. We built our digital world on the equivalent of ever changing spinning plates and manage it in the most cost-efficient way possible. Maybe the alternative would been worse, but its crazy to me as to what we consider normal and acceptable in capitalist culture.
I'm already seeing /r/oculus say its no different than Valve's scheduled maintenance windows, which is obviously false. Its incredible what rationalizations we'll accept instead of questioning the status quo of capitalist culture and our giant corporations that rule so much of our lives.
This isn’t BGP’s fault, someone or something presumably made a network configuration change that took down their route advertisements to the world. There’s currently ~72K autonomous systems advertising ~900K IPv4 prefixes today on the Internet. There’s bound to be some sort of screw up once in a while.
AR Glasses at least their form factor has changed since Google Glass and will continue to evolve some. Google Glasses to how Facebook Stories sunglasses look which look like sunglasses billions are use to wearing and use daily. Billions will never strap on a headset for hours to co-work. Billions will adopt AR Glasses as it takes a familiar form factor/daily life product and enhances it like the iPHone enhance our daily lives.
