Morning everyone! I’m guessing it’s been fixed? Can’t be bothered to get out of my warm bed and check 😄

Is it just me or do things look a little better now more crisp?

Issues and mistakes happen in everything, that is a given, the milk is being cleaned up at least now, BUT! this issue did one thing for me personally and that is it highlighted just how much control i have over my own hardware on my own PC and to be frank, i am somewhat disturbed to have just found out that my £400 purchase and everything with it including software can be rendered useless via one little bit of software that i had no idea has some kind of always on connection and is updating in the background unknown to me. 😕
It can be disturbing but it's not unique. Apple can shut down it's Iphones as easily. That's true in lots of areas. Technology can be frightening. I guess you have to have some faith in the goodwill of humanity.
No it is not unique, but i assumed a gaming device like a VR headset would not require a always on connection, or at least any updated would be checked for and updated once i actually used it, and it reminded me of the XBox one launch were everybody balked at the idea of a always on connection, and rightly so, and really should both the xbox or a VR headset require a always on as they are just gaming devices, or if they must be always on then possibly let people know that before hand because i thought had disable auto updates in the Oculus app, but it seems not, and as we saw here, things can obviously go wrong with this approach
Oh and i am not taking a pop at the Rift, love my VR, but it is quite disconcerting to find this out after the fact.

Can't update. Still not fixed. Updater now asks for two windows updates to be loaded first. I already have them installed. Installed them again and it still says this!!
