The counter-argument to that I keep reading is that being owned by facebook, they should have access to enough server capacity to support the very small user base they have compared to the almost 2 billion users facebook has. Is this argument at all realistic? Is it even possible to "borrow" resources like that to roll out important updates?
I honestly don't know much about computers besides putting together parts I buy on newegg, playing games, and downloading mods that other people are smart enough to make lol.

I hear ya - maybe the Oculus Division spent too much resources on the lawsuit LOL.
Who knows how they have structured things, it would be nice though if the update could either be pushed to all at the same time, or offer an elective update process where one chooses when to download and install the update.
I said big improvement, but really it's not "big", but it's definitely improved. I didn't have any floor or guardian problems with 1.11 (I'm using 3 sensors), only camera handover glitches that made programs like quill freak out. But with 1.12 (it updated for me about an hour ago) I can draw multiple 360 loops around me without any glitching. I can see one spot of camera handover in Arizona Sunshine, but I had to look for it, and it was more of a smooth interpolation rather than having a seizure. It could be because it's handing from a usb 3 sensor to a usb 2 sensor, the reduced image quality (usb3 is raw, usb2 is jpeg) could mean tracking is harder to sync between them?
I'm also now running with usb and hdmi extension cables on the rift itself, so the cable length is much longer than my play space needs.

So relative to the problem you experienced it wasn't as big. But for others it was a huge improvement.
