Hmmm… let’s find the best ways to both make money from this program and yet somehow the targeted individuals manage not to get detained.

It is actually an old and well established britishism

Welp, looky there, an expansion port right on the bridge of the headset with PCIE compatibility.

aren’t I glad I just bought an Onn instead.

@andros_rex my boi. But do you Bifo?

on the flip side, a wifi 7 access point, firewall, NAS, server, and network switch in this performance range are going to cost a bit more by my reckoning. I do see your point about repairability and reliability, one power supply for all of it could be problematic.

As far as security, couldn’t most of what you mentioned be effectively achieved in software if implemented correctly? Looking at the company website, that seems to be their primary focus area.

I don’t see it in the hardware design, but from a software perspective the groundwork is there for modularity. Offloading the core compute to the PC frees up onboard processing to run peripherals like full color front cameras (onboard are black and white / IR) and more advance proximity detection, hell hook up lidar and go nuts with full body tracking.

That said, all of that would depend on decent I/O. 2x USB4 ports would go a long way.

It days right in the marketing text that the headset is “a PC” which to me implies full SteamOS distro with no limitations on installing a different OS, if you can get the many hardware drivers to work.

Houdini M2 over LORA is kind of a replacement.

It’s too bad it leaves the door open for age verification requirements, but the language is overall pretty decent.
