2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

There is no port. It's wireless. And it's bidirectional. How do you think the positional data would make it back to the PC if it weren't?

Wow it's actually a usb-a port, I don't know how they're sending that much data over it but it's certainly close to its limits, there's a reason most monitors aren't usb and all usb webcams suck

You're talking about the router? Yes. Not only that but it works on usb2.

They're making use of new technology they call foveated streaming. It only streams the content you're looking directly at in full resolution.
