    i felt the same way but i was gifted one recently… it’s still pretty awesome, and it runs android so you can put it in developer mode and sideload whatever you want…

    i expected it to be locked down like apple, but no it’s pretty sick.

      I’m in a similar boat, however I was very disappointed to see that in order to enable developer mode you have to make/sign in with a Meta account and “register” as a developer with them.

        i didn’t like that either… but it was quick and free…
        had to take a shower afterwards though…

      Yeah, but you can’t just enable developer mode on the device itself. You need Meta’s blessing for that.

        not really their blessing, but yeah you have to create a developer account, agree to be part of a human centipede, and then you’re in…

        there’s even an alternative side loading store call side quest that streamlines it and has a ton of stuff to download…
