The last one he looks happy.

Nothing yet. Just give it a year or three before those age attestations given to websites have to be cryptographically signed by a corp.

If this gets any reasonable amount of popularity, it will be fixed by tomorrow end of day. Google loves the boot.

Imagine if ransomware did a BYOVD and held your actual hardware ransom.

Shit like that should never have been signed by Microsoft, let alone made it through developer review at Gigabyte.

Apparently, reprogramming the firmware config and changing the RGB light status on a DRAM module are both done through the same SPI bus. Consequently, every time you change the RGB lighting, it has a tiny chance of accidentally bricking the stick.

So not only is RGB an additional upfront cost that consumers might not want, it could even contribute to long-term costs by reducing the lifetime of some components.

I can spend $800 on something I can use for years and resell, gift, or repurpose. Or, I can instead spend $180 annually under the threat of my data being destroyed if I stop giving into the extortion. Easy choice, really. /s

Benn Jordan made a video outlining his experiments around this topic. Good stuff.

Or another case of "if I can't have it, nobody can"

As monitor tech improved to reduce ghosting it also became harder to follow where the cursor moved.
