@Magra215 @PostRockPiano Nah, they just mean it’s a paperweight because it doesn’t function for cheating any more. So it’s essentially a paperweight due to not being able to be used for its intended purpose.

Riot can brick your PC using their borderline malware anti-cheat it seems, wow, I'm actually glad I quit playing all their games, this is nuts.

@RealDutchsinse @riotgames you are the biggest ignorant. read the post first

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.

@1owroller Getting introduced through social scenarios is way less sanitized so you actually get to know people rather than just trying to rely on feeling someone out in a sterile environment.

the most successful relationships start through meeting via shared social settings/mutual friends
cold approaching/dating apps is like trying to get rich scratching lottery tickets

I normally avoid discussing dating discourse because I find it tedious But, lads, if you are interested in the truth, rather than just more slop garbage engagement farming, here is my view of the honest reality of today A man in dating market of today has 2 options in this cold, horrible world 1. Leanmaxx to 10% bodyfat, lift heavy, train martial arts, get professional photos taken, and game the Hinge ELO ruthlessly. Farm a roster and then test them for longterm values. This method requires ruthless discipline and, while the option pool becomes large, finding a woman on dating apps means she was on the dating apps in the first place. Dating apps themselves are a sort of self-defeating product because of how replaceable everyone that uses them comes to view those within their app roster 2. Cold approach. 1-5% chance of working but if it does, it sets the man apart in a powerful way. The risk, of course, is viral social media humiliation. If he can overcome this insecurity, then an average man can secure a wifu the likes of which would pass him up on Hinge instantly every time, and the relationship probably has the best odds of lasting If you get lean enough, you might be approached yourself, and for some types of guys they'd like that. Call me old fashioned but I don't, I think it's bad for polarity. Looksmaxxing will help you with cold approach too though so might as well regardless of your strategy

@KissofEnvyy @CodaAnthony1 @k1rallik Militant Linux users will never understand that some things needed for a corporate environment only work on Windows and that unfortunately Windows is an actual requirement sometimes. Anyway what specifically is Defender doing that causes problems for you I may have a solution?
English
@CodaAnthony1 @k1rallik unfortunately, that is not an option. if I could do what I do in Linux i would but i cant so you didnt really answer the question ngl

MICROSOFT IGNORED HIM. NOW YOUR PC PAYS FOR IT
One researcher reported a critical Defender vulnerability privately. Microsoft dismissed it. So he published it - then dropped 2 more in 13 days.
The latest is called RedSun. It's unpatched. It works 100% reliably on Windows 10, 11 and Server right now.
It doesn't bypass your antivirus. It uses your antivirus as a weapon.
Defender tries to restore a flagged file - the exploit redirects that write into C:\Windows\System32. No admin. No popup. SYSTEM access in seconds.
-> BlueHammer - patched
-> UnDefend - breaks Defender updates forever
-> RedSun - unpatched, public PoC on GitHub
His message to Microsoft: "I was not bluffing. And I'm doing it again."
RCE is reportedly next. That one needs zero physical access.
impulsive@weezerOSINT
Windows defender has been compromised. right now there is a public unpatched exploit that gives any app on your windows PC full system admin access. no password. no popup. nothing your antivirus doesnt stop it. your antivirus IS the exploit. windows defender is the attack vector ransomware gangs can use this to encrypt your entire machine and steal every saved password, browser session, and discord token you have. fully patched windows 11. real time protection on thread

there is nothing in this planet more insulting than this stupid fucking popup

i swear i could vibeslop a better teams alternative in 2 days, why the fuck do i need to deal with this piece of shit??????
English
@ersinsyndrome @peach2k2 Oh I was facetiously joking about the asinine permission structures that plague organizations like universities. It’s absolutely abysmal. Also uni classes suck ass.
English
@SilkSwift_ @peach2k2 i guess but still, it was a important lecture that i had to attend but i couldn't, the system just said "since you are not in this organization, you can not join" or something.
then i nearly failed the class but that is a different story
English
@ersinsyndrome @peach2k2 You don’t need that permission it’s just for decoration, it’s actually that you need that permission to be assigned the child user group of Student.

@peach2k2 @SilkSwift_ i remember a time that administrators (IT bivtches) forgot the give me the permission of "being a student" never laughed so hard

@SilkSwift_ that's not even the problem, i did that but i've been sitting on this screen for the last 10 minutes
