@OwenShroyer1776 For context this url was registered a few months ago but didnt return anything if you visited. Now it's a website. Likely to try to avoid taking about the epstine stuff tho.

I mean intelligence is a utility. Intelligence in this context is being a synonym for education. Some people get worse education than others due to many reasons that I cant list here.

It just feels odd seeing how disconnected this is, and how some people are reacting.

Pretty sure twitter has declared my account a "low engagement user" and fair enough. My shit do not get likes.

I talk into that void and that void do not talk back.

If I paid I would probably get more engagement, but I rather die.

Malware vs Software discourse is always insane to me.

Whenever you're installing software on your pc your fundamentally agreeing that X producder of Y product is a trustable source and you trust them with your access to your pc. Regardless of what level its installed at.

Kkkkernal??? Omega scazy.

> accepts EULA
> "wtf I didnt agree to riot doing anything on my pc! I'm suing!"

Holy fuck. Idk if you dont want people to run code on your pc, maybe dont install it?

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.

This is a really interesting thread.

Based on this post, the quoted-post, comments, subsequent posts, and sub-threads, gamers seem to not to understand:

- What Direct Memory Access (DMA) means
- What "kernel-mode" means
- What an anti-cheat really does
- What a computer is

@Greekwario @discord Can you explain what the malware part does? Do you think its malware because it interacts with windows MPO?

Its crazy that they made such a cool concept into the worst champ possible. Lol.

She has a 10% ban rate over any other champ with cait being 26%

I feel bad for the person who designed her tho, gotta feel bad that everyone hates what you put blood, sweat, and tears into.

can we just agree on that mel was a terrible mistake and it would be better for all if you just delete her
