I've been pissed that using up the expansion port for passthrough means you don't have an expansion port anymore. It's such a missed opportunity.
replySeems nobody has realized this or nobody cares. I haven't seen anyone else notice or mention it.

It's technically also supposed to be a Linux PC, and there are some (not many) productivity features.
In any case, I'd prefer to be able to at least read notifications instead of having to take the headset off every time I get a message or an e-mail or whatever.
For Android devices you can mirror them into the frame without much fuss
replyI view my notifications on my Mac... My phone won't even unlock with the headset on (one reason I hate face ID)
replyThe expansion port docs seem to imply you can have two passthrough cameras and a pcie gen4 lane at the same time, so a designer could probably allow a passthrough
