@MugsTV @riotgames Hi, so neat that you want a game controlling your system and what does or doesn’t work.
Control your own game? Neat. Sure. Don’t let me login.
But any application that abuses permissions to adjust or disable my OS/Hardware/Software?
No. That’s crazy overreach.
English
@riotgames The cancel culture in the comments is actually so cringe.
Stop trying to defend cheaters. Don't want your PC to be effected? Don't use DMA
English
Well, that escalated quickly.
There’s been a wave of claims by cheaters about Vanguard “bricking” their PCs, so let’s clear that up: Vanguard does not damage hardware or disable your devices.
The photo we posted is a picture of cheat hardware devices that are sold explicitly for cheating in VALORANT (not normal PCs or PC components). Through our latest updates, Vanguard now makes those devices worthless for VAL, but does not in any way brick PCs or PC components or PC software.
Our latest update enforces standard platform security features, like the Input-Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU), on accounts identified as using Direct Memory Access (DMA) cheating devices. These protections are already part of modern systems and when enabled, they block DMA cheat devices (such as those shown in the photo) from accessing memory in downstream applications, like our games.
If a cheat setup continues attempting to cheat after those protections are enabled, the system may generate hardware faults or instability. This is expected behavior under IOMMU when attempts are made to read protected memory.
Disabling IOMMU allows the cheat device to function again, but IOMMU will still be required to play our games. This means the cheat device won’t work with our games, but your PC isn’t “bricked.” We would not, and cannot, impact your PC’s functionality in any other fashion.
This functionality only applies to systems attempting to use DMA cheat devices, and players who are not using DMA-based cheat setups are not affected.
We’ll keep investing in anti-cheat to protect competitive integrity, and we’ll keep being as transparent as possible about how those systems work.

@LiddoCait OH I DIDNT EVEN RECOGNIZE YOU THE WIG IS AMAZING

@ManaByte So it’s legal for a company to destroy personal property? Is that covered under ToS?
Let’s say I make an MMO, but I don’t like you having a competitors game installed, I can just uninstall it on their machine? Delete the HDD? I
Because what you’re saying is fucking stupid
English
Let’s walk through how that courtroom drama plays out:
Cheater: "Your Honor, Riot bricked my $6,000 PC!"
Riot: "Actually, we just updated Vanguard to enforce standard Windows IOMMU security protocols. If they unplug the illegal hardware cheat device from their motherboard, the PC boots perfectly fine."
Judge: "Wait, so your computer works, but your specialized cheating hardware doesn't?"
Cheater: "Yes! It’s property damage!"
Judge: [Bangs gavel so hard it breaks] "Case dismissed. Pay Riot's legal fees."
You cannot sue a company because their security system successfully detected your exploit. Riot didn't destroy anything; they just rendered a cheating device useless for cheating. If you spent thousands of dollars on a DMA card just to click on heads in Valorant, your only legal recourse is to sue your parents for giving birth to someone so stupid.

@ManaByte Nope, but their lawyers may be soon

@bluedragonda3rd F1>OPT is literally made to keep talent in the US, to get internationally talent in and stay here, it take it back home.
you cannot apply for US citizenship without a green card. you cannot get a green card without a visa.
F1 > OPT > H1B > Green Card > Citizenship.
English
@bluedragonda3rd Hi, immigrated American citizen here who’s actually gone through the system.
Holy shit you’re factually wrong on every point.
H1B Visa > Green Card is legally valid given H1B has dual intent purpose so you are able to use it to work AND pursue citizenship.
English
This response gained some traction, so it’s now muted. I’m not interested in entertaining cheap insults or low IQ arguments. I stand by my statement, and nothing said here is going to change my position on this issue. People on temporary visas, whether student, work, or tourist,

@ashtonteng @menhguin I’m not from middle America, I’m a SF Bay Area resident. We don’t want you here. Your F1 to OPT to H1B was a big abuse of the system. You’re supposed to sent back once you’re done with your studies, the point of F1 is to allow third worlders such as yourself to learn from us and

@DestinyTheGame So, can we get all of the Valuted D2 content available as we’re sunsetting here?

For almost twelve years, we have had the joy and honor to explore the Destiny universe with you all. Through all the ups and downs, surprises and triumphs, building Destiny alongside our players has been a monumental privilege. While our love for Destiny 2 has not changed, it has become clear that after The Final Shape, we have reached the time for our shared worlds, and Destiny, to live beyond Destiny 2.
As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games. To that end, on June 9, 2026, we will release the final live-service content update for Destiny 2 to begin that new journey as a studio.
Though active development may be concluding, we will ensure that Destiny 2 remains playable, just as the original Destiny is today. Many changes in this final update will aim to ensure that Destiny 2 is a welcoming place for players to return to.
We’re proud of Destiny 2, the places it took us, and the legacy it has created. Because of you all, our universe is vast, built on years of shared stories, adventures, and victories. From the Cosmodrome to the Pale Heart to the Lawless Frontier, we have forged life-long memories and friendships with you all.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who made that journey with us.
From the deepest part of our hearts, thank you, and we'll see you in the stars.

RIP D2.

Thousands of hours into D1 and D2, and I left after Lightfall, but sad to see it’s officially over.

@plex Also, where are we on these long promised features?
- HDR10/Dolby Vision support
- Audiobooks
- Native audio track labeling
- Fixing the Mac SMB issues
Because, I’d love to know

@plex Hi Plex, used for you years and go a lifetime pass years ago.
Just so you know, it’s REALLY hard to recommend you now, and not entirely sure what warrants that price increase.
And honestly, you’ve promised better Downloads for years and never delivered.

Today we announced that the price of a Lifetime Plex Pass will increase on July 1, 2026. To learn more about this change, including what's on the Plex roadmap in the future, visit our blog post here: plex.tv/blog/new-lifet…

I’ve been playing a lot with the Steam Controller this week, it’s honestly great to feel a lot of the improvements they’ve made over the years.
Replacing the 8bitDo Pro 2 which has been my goto for years.

@luvu2golka Man if only you had the actually analytics data that YouTube provides to see drop off rate.
But no, let me and my AI team sell you an SEO marketing package to help!

@mimi_teaching @ckayerawlings Yes, the website says that now.
But oddly, the website had zero mentions of this until 2022, right after they got sued for exactly this misleading messaging.
Before 2022 no clear communications on what programs it supported.
Let’s not rewrite history here.

@ckayerawlings It’s a Jewish nonprofit. It mostly pays for camps and education. Their website specifically says it’s for Jewish kids. It’s all over the website. Anyone donating can see it. The kids went to Israel to study. That’s a normal activity for religious Jews at some point.

i'm sorry 1-877-Kars4kids isn't a California nonprofit helping local kids???
They raise money to send 18 years olds to ISRAEL and build buildings there!??!?!?!?!

@Photoshop_Gy Nice! Looks like a great printing!
Lots of iconic pieces in there, and love hearing and supporting Michael Salvatori’s work.
Unfortunately I can’t get past how much of a notable POS marty is to enjoy the Halo 1/2 soundtracks anymore.
