Really interesting how they plan to make this work given we can’t manufacture most of the parts needed here.
The Quest is made in China and Vietnam. China could easily put pressure on their neighbor to not export dual use goods.
I guess they could setup a separate North American only supply chain. Should only take 30 years

> dual use goods
Come to think of it, I've only ever seen the term "dual use" in the context of the export of goods from the West. But yes, now the term applies also to flows in the opposite direction.

Nothing about the quest has ever worked well, I suspect if this were ever deployed it would actually save lives by getting in the way of actual warfare.

I have every version of the Quest that has been sold, and it became VERY clear, around the time the Quest Pro came out (and John Carmack left not so peacefully [1]), that nobody at meta actually uses any of these daily. And, all their QA testing obviously starts with a device reboot, clearing all the since-quest-2 bugs that exist when you put the thing on your face after letting it sit a day.
