Oculus has released a new update that future-proofs the Oculus Go headset. It now allows full root access for owners of the headset, providing them the ability to repurpose the hardware for other uses as well as use the headset without the need for a Facebook account.

Oculus also has a guide available for download that describes how to use the software on the Oculus Go device and gain low-level access. However, opening up the headset is irreversible and owners will no longer receive over-the-air updates. Additionally, the process described in the guide cannot be used on any other Oculus device or operating system.

As explained by Ars Technica, an unlocked Oculus Go headset will no longer check for a Facebook signature at the kernel level. This means that developers can create custom versions of low-level features like the app launcher.

Oculus CTO John Carmack announced last month that this update would be coming, hoping that even 20 years into the future, a randomly found brand new Oculus Go headset would still be able to update the final software version after the over-the-air servers inevitably shut down.

The Oculus Go headset was released back in May 2018. In IGN's Oculus Go review, Matt Elliot said, "Comfortable, convenient, wireless, and affordable, the standalone Oculus Go represents a big step forward in consumer VR."

Sounds like 2023 might be a good year for fans of Sony's Spider-Man-centered Marvel universe as Sony Pictures has announced the release dates for two currently untitled Marvel movies coming to theatres that year: June 23, and October 6.

In a press release, Sony announced it has reserved two 2023 dates for untitled Sony./Marvel Universe movies. This is in addition to a third Sony Marvel production that's already been announced for January 13, 2023: Kraven the Hunter.

Without titles or further details, it's impossible to know much more about what these two other films will entail. We do know that Olivia Wilde has a project in the works that may or may not be Spider-Woman, and there have been whispers over the years of other characters in the spotlight like Silver Sable, Black Cat, Nightwatch, Madame Web, and Jackpot. Given the box office success, another Venom movie is also likely in the cards.

The only other known Sony Marvel movie is Mobius slated to be released on January 28, 2022.

Curiously, one of the untitled movies is set for October 6, 2023 — the same date that Disney had until this week planned its own MCU movie. It's possible that this is a collaboration, or that Disney opted to move a release date on their end to steer clear of Sony's own Marvel project dropping that day. Disney also removed a Marvel movie from July 28 in the same update.

For now, there's Venom: Let There Be Carnage, which our review found an improvement on everything from the first movie even if it played things a little safe.

Hayden Christensen’s return to a galaxy far far away continues as he is set to reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker in the upcoming Ahsoka series for Disney+. Christensen is already slated to return as Anakin in the upcoming Obi-Wan series.

The Hollywood Reporter says multiple Lucasfilm and Disney+ sources have confirmed that Christensen is set to return as Anakin Skywalker in the Ahsoka Tano series starring Rosario Dawson.

Christensen first played Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones. His arc through Episode 3 saw him lose to the Dark Side and eventually become Darth Vader.

Plot details for Ahsoka are being kept under wraps, though Dave Filoni is set to write the series and executive produce alongside Jon Favreau.

Ahsoka Tano is Anakin Skywalker's Padawan and was introduced in the animated Clone Wars series. Given the two character's deep history together Christensen's return as Skywalker in Ahsoka seems like a no-brainer. But whether he will return as Anakin or Darth Vader remains to be seen.

Dawson plays an older version of Tano and made the character's live-action debut in the second season of The Mandalorian. It was later announced that Dawson will play Tano again in an Ahsoka solo series. Timeline-wise, Tano's first live-action appearance took place after the original trilogy, which means Vader would actually be dead by the time The Mandalorian takes place.

Meanwhile, Christensen is already set to return to the Star Wars universe in the upcoming Obi-Wan series starring Ewan McGregor. This prequel series is set before the events of Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope and follows Obi-Wan as he navigates the fall of the Jedi Order and before taking Anakin's son, Luke Skywalker, under his wing.

Veteran TV and stage actor Peter Scolari has died. He is perhaps best known for co-starring in the 1980 hit TV show Bosom Buddies alongside Tom Hanks. He was 66.

Scolari is an Emmy Award-winning actor who began his career in 1978. In 1980 he starred in the comedy Bosom Buddies with TomHanks about two friends who dress as women to live in an affordable women’s only apartment. The series lasted two years before it was canceled.

In 1984, Scolari joined Bob Newhart’s sitcom Newhart and was a series regular until 1990 when the show ended. Scolari earned his first Primetime Emmy nomination for Supporting Actor for his role on the show as a yuppie TV producer named Michael Harris.

Peter Scolari, who died today, was one of the funniest—sneakily funny—actors we’ve worked with. He always took a nothing scene and found different ways to twist it, and throw in odd pauses that made it jump. I will try to collect my thoughts more. He was just wonderful. pic.twitter.com/25z6xgmD3f

What a wonderful actor he was! So sad to hear of the loss of the versatile Peter Scolari. I never had the chance to work with him, but I'm grateful for a lifetime of his brilliant performances. #GoneTooSoon 💔 pic.twitter.com/YSia6KO5a9

Sad to see the news that Peter Scolari lost his battle with cancer. There wasn't a sweeter man on the planet. We performed together in HAIRSPRAY for a time and he was always a total delight. Farewell, dear Peter.https://t.co/1TPjakwLT3

Scolari would win a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor nearly two decades later for his role as Tad Horvath on HBO’s Girls. Tad is the father of Lena Dunham’s character Hannah Horvath.

But Scolari’s full body of work includes dozens of credits in shows like Reba, ER, and The West Wing, as well as voice-over work on animated cartoons like Batman: The Animated Series, Gargoyles, and Animaniacs.

Scolari seemed to have a certain affinity for WB’s superheroes having appeared in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, and as Commissioner Gillian Loeb on Gotham.

Scolari continued to work up until his death with recurring roles on Fosse/Verdon and Evil as well as Lisey’s Story.
