Facebook Accidentally Shipped 'Tens of Thousands' of VR Controllers With Hidden Messages Like 'Big Brother is Watching' and 'The Masons Were Here' (businessinsider.com)
Facebook accidentally shipped "tens of thousands" of virtual reality (VR) controllers with bizarre hidden messages, including "Big Brother is Watching" and "The Masons Were Here," reports BusinessInsider. From the report: Nate Mitchell, the cofounder of Facebook-owned VR organisation Oculus, wrote on Twitter on Friday that the company inadvertently printed some unusual messages inside its Touch controllers, handheld devices for playing games and navigating inside VR. These messages were intended only for prototypes, he said -- but a mistake meant they were included in regular production devices. "Unfortunately, some 'easter egg' labels meant for prototypes accidentally made it onto the internal hardware for tens of thousands of Touch controllers," the tech executive wrote.
Meanwhile the members of The Resistance who were responsible for this have been rounded up and 're-educated' in Facebooks' private re-education (blacksite) facility, no doubt. Or perhaps straight into unmarked graves.
It reads like one of those fortune cookies with a fortune that reads as an SOS help me message The engineers are trying to tell us somthing
It was something they did for somebody.
How nice of them to blurt out the truth.
Big Brother (Facebook) IS watching, -watching everything Facebook users (and some non-users) is doing on the internet AND in real life.
We fired the person who "accidentally" left these messages behind
...what's so bizarre about Facebook saying "big brother is watching," unless "bizarre" now means "no duh."
but i was promised hundreds of millions!

You're marketing's bitches.
"These messages were intended only for prototypes, he said"
This is why you always treat data in test and devel systems as if it was a production or a demo system.
It is not good when you are demoing to a customer and they login with a test account and are greeted with the message, "Welcome back, Big Asshole."
Easter eggs may be funny, but they should never be against the public image of your company. "Big Brother is watching"
Could have been worse. There could have been a personalized message from MZ himself detailing what he really thinks about his users.
Run out and buy one quick - they'll be more collectable than Beanie Babies. And the marketing drones who thought this up will get nice bonuses.
"Big Brother is Watching"
Coming from FB, I think this is 100% accurate.
I mean, they simply tested "Big Brother is Watching" and "The Masons were here". Don't ask why they were testing some shit like that, just know that it was a test.
Politics; n. : A religion whereby man is god.
It seems like lots of BS comes from our own companies, who are always working for China or Russia as well.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.
100% awesome, I'd be proud to ship those bad boys :)
To be clear, most of these have not shipped yet. This is the batch to go with the Quest and Rift S kits.
If you currently have touch controllers, the insides of them do not have these sayings.
The exception is the dev kits for these have shipped and they have the sayings, "Big Brother is Watching" and "Hi iFixit! We See You!"
The consumer touch controllers that are about to ship say, "This Space For Rent" & "The Masons Were Here."
Facebook does not plan to recall any of these. You have to unscrew your controller and open it up to see these messages.
Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon what's the difference? All steal money from devs and control with walled gardens.
JIDF-aware,
Facebook is an Israeli Jewish Datamining outfit that worked. They got you. They think you are stupid if you "got got" and now they laugh about it. Same as gypsies.
What a freakshow it must be over there. Their corporate culture permits this kind of crap to make it to production:

Who is still working at Facebook? The backroom guys who keep those servers running must be mortified to be associated with these bozos.
My God, it's Full of Source!

It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
Sure. That's just what THEY want you to think...

Who the hell uses "VR"? It's a stupid gimmick that companies have been dumping money into for years. Who the hell wants this, and what's the point? And, even if there was some use for "VR", who in their right mind would buy hardware from Facebook? This is an awful, useless article.
I don't respond to AC's.
You just wanted the free publicity from the inevitable Alex Jones and Drudge Report freak-outs
I had a sucky sig.
Khazar Talmudic Jews believe this of all they call goyim/gentiles (any non-jew): Jews = biggest racists of all for which they "jew guilt" you for no less! They're hypocrites known as thieves all thru history or were Argentines in the 1940 under Peron, Spanish inquistion, France (1306), Egypt (despoiled/robbed by jews), Arabs (pre & post 1948), England (1330 Edward longshanks), Romans under titus, Russia pogroms and Germany who got rid of them from their nations nazi german's too? No. Driven into DESERTS ages ago! Don't wonder why after all those exilings above.
Should anyone doubt any of this see Jacob Javits' crony Rosenthal spill the beans on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4zMVZ8HnFI/ where he called all Christianity fools for helping Israel and the biggest scam of all time per their beliefs below from their Talmud.
This is the province of the synagogue of Satan (Pharisees whom Jesus Christ himself kicked to the curb out of the temple & they killed him for it. Jeremiah did the same to them also + the Essenes could not stand them either breaking away from the pharisee corruption):
Mark Zuckerberg stole the Winklevoss twins' code for Fakebook (figures as he is a thieving low jew too).
Maria Abramovic satanist spirit cooker pal of Hillary Clinton the Voodoo queen is a jew https://www.google.com/search?...

Jewish rabbi openly admits to satan worship use white children's blood they kill for passover bread, infiltrating and subverting the catholic church, creating the Jesuit order https://www.youtube.com/watch?... and https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Barbara Spectre, a jew, tells everyone it's jews orchestrating the muslim migrant problem in Europe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFE0qAiofMQ/ . No migrant raping of women in Poland. Tons in Sweden. Do the math. Use common-sense. This is to get muslims and other goyim/gentiles to wipe one another out as incompatible cultures that will clash and always have.
Rabbi A. Finkelstein ADMITS their greatest enemies are ARABS and WHITES (blacks too) whom they wish to kill one another in a 'theater of war' which they find AMUSING https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Finkelstein also admits JEWS DID 9/11 (perpetrated by the Mossad & Bebe Netanyahu of ISRAEL) https://www.youtube.com/watch?... profiting by it (and that 3,000 jews employed there did not show up for work that day knowing about it beforehand).
Finkelstein also admits JEWS are going to destroy the U.S. Dollar and dumping it for other world currencies and gold to destroy the United States.
George Soros who funds groups to create division in the USA?? A jew. One who sold his own jew people into death for the nazis.
Zucker now FIRED @ CNN is another frying publicly for lying about "russians" and John Bonifield a producer @ CNN said it is bs. Van Jones did also.
Bernie Madoff (who made off with everyone's money, especially construction union pensions) shows the thieving nature of the JUDEN!

If there was ever a cautionary tale of a dystopian, post-apocalyptic future, it'd be one where Trump gets another 4 years to continue destroying the United States and torturing human beings.

When they eventually come to name the current epoch, they may well settle on "Youcouldntmakethisshitupstocene".
The people who maintain jobs at corporations like these seem to fall in to two categories:
If there was ever a cautionary tale of a dystopian, post-apocalyptic future, it'd be one where Trump gets another 4 years to continue destroying the United States and torturing human beings.
According to a theory of physics there is a universe out there where Trump is doing exactly that. It is a good thing we don't live in that universe. I imagine in that universe Trump wouldn't be getting another 4 years, but currently in our universe Trump has 2020 in the bag.
I read at +2. If your post doesn't reach that level I will not see or respond to it.
Better watch out!

It seems that the ONLY thing it cares about is slurping up data from foolish people and selling it. Does not give one flying eff about anything else.
They literally have to suck each others dicks as part of the initiation. Masons are closet fags and shitheels.
My family back home is Mason and they are fake churchy pieces of shit.
Mason = garbage.
Run.
Starting next year, the new tesla trucks will actually drop our CO2 by 2-5% EACH YEAR.
Yes, 5000 new Tesla trucks EACH YEAR will reduce CO2 FURTHER than 500,000 new model 3s EACH YEAR.
Complete BS nonsense WindBourne.
Coal plants
BOTH America and Europe are at .25 TW running ~90-95% load. Note that this means that Europe and America can NOT increase their emissions from coal without building new plants.
Complete bullshit WindBourne. They don't run at that load and they can easily increase.
This is no different than those that blame America for China's gov choosing to build new coals plants and continue using more than 85%coal for electricity.
Complete lie backed up by nothing.
Why did china's coal production, consumption, and CO2 increase over 5% in 2017,
Easy, you lied WindBourne, it didn't.
I have said that China is building 700 coal plants. 350 of them are in china and 300 outside.
Where did the other 50 go? Plus it's BS anyway.
The only way to stop the CO2 is to have ALL NATIONS STOP ADDING COAL and back off rather quickly.
Clearly BS as American coal went down but the CO2 went up anyway.
Did you even bother to read how it was calculated?
If you had, you would know that they simply took the total energy used and divided by households and capita.
No surprise that this is a lie also. The linked article told us how they calculated it. WindBourne lied about reading it and then lied about what it said, as usual.
This is no different than when China had to reverse their 50 year lie about coal
What 50 year lie WindBourne? More BS from you.
Finally, you speak of GDP growth. Here is America Here is China Here is EU Out of all 3, America is doing the best.
His links showed America was actually the worst.
Not sure which is funnier. That he didn't look at his own links, or that he actually believed America was growing faster than China.
China consumes over 1/2 of the consumed coal on this PLANET EACH YEAR for the last 10 years.
More lies and BS. Your own link showed it hasn't been doing it for 10 years.
First off, new ICE cars will probably stop selling in about 2 more years.
LOL
nothing fair or intelligent about per capita. That is one of the WORST measures/normalization going.
Usual BS to absolve America of all wrongs, due to China being a larger country.
And WindBourne's biggest BS of all.
Calling me a liar constantly but never once showin
Those are the most re-liked comments on Fb.
The conspiracy nuts will go bonkers about this!
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Remember this: Obama created the baby cages! Trump stopped it! Also, playpens are also baby cages.
Found the Chinese shill
You have to forgive Ricky. His TDS is legendary. Can wait to see his head explode in 2020 when Trump is elected for another 4 years.
As much as I dislike Facebook, I salute whoever did this for getting the conspiracy kooks' knickers in a bunch!
I would add stuff like "The internet is owned by the illuminati", but I don't think I want to be responsible for giving the screwballs a heart attack.
I just tracked down your IP address, and I have informed the nut house you are caged up in of your illicit internet usage.
Expect the straightjacket to remain on your person for the next week.
If he's a Chinese shill,what does that make the other guy?
