As promised, Oculus has released an unlocked version of the operating system for the discontinued Oculus Go, which could breathe new life into the inexpensive virtual reality headset.
You can find a download link and installation instructions at the Oculus Developers blog.
The unlocked Oculus Go OS has all the same features as the last official software released for the device, but it skips a few of the security checks that would normally verify that the device is running an official build of the Oculus operating system.
That means developers can create an alternate boot.img and use that to load an alternate system.img, potentially bringing new features to the headset. In other words, custom ROMs aren’t just for phones and tablets – we could see some developed for the Oculus go headset soon.
Keep in mind that installing the unlocked software will result in a factory reset of your device, so you’ll want to make sure to back up any important data before unlocking your device.
While I suspect this is mostly good news for folks who already have an Oculus Go headset, the release of an unlocked OS could drive up demand for after-market sales. While the Oculus Go used to sell for $200, the headset was discontinued last summer and these days “brand new” models are listed for sale on eBay for around $250 to $400 (affiliate link), although you might be able to pick one up for a lower price if you opt for a pre-owned model.

Facebook’s senior executives interfered to allow US politicians and celebrities to post whatever they wanted on its social network despite pleas from employees to stop, leaked internal documents suggest.
Employees claim in the documents that while Facebook has long insisted that it is politically neutral, it allowed rightwing figures to break rules designed to curb misinformation and harmful content, after being stung by accusations of bias from conservatives.
In September 2020, just ahead of the US presidential election, the author of an internal memo wrote that “director-level employees” had “written internally that they would prefer to formally exclude political considerations from the decision-making process.”

Although Firefly Aerospace is only a few weeks removed from its first-ever launch attempt, the Texas-based space company is already making good progress toward its first mission to land on the Moon.
Firefly said Monday that it has completed the "critical design review" phase of its program to develop a lunar lander. This means the company can now proceed to build and order components for the "Blue Ghost" spacecraft and begin its assembly. Firefly aims to launch the spacecraft as the primary payload on a Falcon 9 rocket in the fall of 2023.
NASA is sponsoring the mission as part of its Commercial Lunar Payload Services Program, through which it pays private companies to deliver scientific experiments to the Moon. NASA is paying $93.3 million for this Blue Ghost mission, which will carry 10 payloads down to the Mare Crisium lunar basin in September 2023.
