Made me wonder how long Apple would support their Vision Pro devices as both devices are similarly locked down by their manufacturers. The Quest 1 was released on 2019, so it got about 5 years of support. Apple might support Vision Pro for longer (maybe 7 years?), but at $3499 (vs Quest 1's $399), it'll going to be hurt for the owners when it's no longer supported.
They still need to use payment processors, right? Those payment processors wouldn't allow adult contents. Those that do, charge significantly more for each transaction.
Not going to happen anytime soon because advertisers and payment processors with the lowest fee wouldn't touch sites that contain adult contents, even if said contents are not visible by default.
A while ago I stumbled over a corporate site and decided to open the dev tool on a whim. Turns out it's all XML styled with XSLT stylesheet instead of the usual HTML+CSS. I forgot the name of the site and haven't found another site that do this since then.
Unfortunately vpn (and vps) providers are very wary about providing service that specifically target customers in china because when their service inevitable got ip-blocked by the gfw, those customers would immediately issuing chargeback, which is much more expensive to process than refund. The only providers that are still in the market for circumventing gfw now price their service accordingly (i.e. much more expensive than the usual vpn marketrate) to absorb this risk.
Only if they're stating this upfront, in a giant text. Those apps hide this capability and are thus categorized as malware. Turning the victim's computer into a residential proxy has always been a staple in botnet operations.
