@TweetsOfSumit "Hey, ich habe dich auf Twitter gesehen, wollen wir uns vernetzen?"

[lambert @_cqeal]

@peduarte @nischambai @soichiro_nitta He probably hasn’t posted yet and thus can’t see your current week

@RhysSullivan As long as they do the Chromium updates and no other browser has something I need, I will continue to use it.
I use @heliumbrowser for dev work and for anything else I‘ll stay with Arc.

"Vanguard will directly invalidate access from those malicious devices at the operating system level, through the IOMMU mechanism"

So Riot get‘s to decide that a device is malicious and just says: "On this computer we don‘t own, we‘ll disable the access from this device we also don‘t own, without asking the user, because we decided it‘s malicious"

My point still stands.

@iamdavidhill One, multiple running though.

[lambert @_cqeal]

Look, I get it‘s easy to see "it‘s happening to cheaters so it‘s okay" but these things are always just the beginning.

Today it‘s cheating devices, next week it might be something else.

The company doesn‘t own the device, you do. Any you should be the only person in the world deciding what happens to it.

[lambert @_cqeal]

@bradsum64 @crvmblr Didn‘t say they do. I said if this would be legal and accepted these are things that companies could do.

I also don‘t mean that they would turn your printer into a claymore, they could just make sure you couldn‘t use them, not in their printer or any printer for that matter.

@PetrHurtak I've had Codex fix this https://t.co/1XWa7S597X for the newest version and it works like a charm.

[lambert @_cqeal]

And again, my point is not just for videogames. I don't play anything from Riot.

If things like these will become acceptable and legal then other companies might do it.
Using your iPhone with headphones from another manufacturer? Bricked.

Again: might. Not: this is going to happen. But I want it stopped before it's happening.

[lambert @_cqeal]

@LaughingValeV2 @bradsum64 @crvmblr Of course I do, because today it's cheaters hardware, tomorrow it might be mine. Maybe next week they think another device that I own might be used for cheating and they "brick" it.

They clearly have a way of detecting it. So block the game from starting? Why "brick" it?

[lambert @_cqeal]

@LaughingValeV2 @bradsum64 @crvmblr Not living in the US and here that would be super illegal.

[lambert @_cqeal]

@LaughingValeV2 @bradsum64 @crvmblr Not for me to figure out, it certainly shouldn't be "we're bricking your device". Even if a reinstall fixes it, it wasn't theirs to change to begin with.

It's giving me "your cat ran into my backyard so I've tranquilized it. I'm going to keep doing this until you fix it" vibes.

[lambert @_cqeal]

@GloriousEggroll You mean like this? https://t.co/XfJmAdqUOA

[lambert @_cqeal]

So that's the green light for Riot to change your devices as they please?

Would you be okay if they "bricked" the Wooting keyboards back in the days with which people can perfom actions that aren't really humanly possible?

They can ban anyone for anything for all I care. I don't want them to think disabling hardware and forcing a reinstall is okay in any way.

Yes, even if they had 100% detection rate and never programmed in any bugs and the device is only used for cheating. Just block the game from running at this point.

@leanderriefel they’re not, you can use dma cards for data transfer too and fast uploading

[lambert @_cqeal]

The $6000 hardware would be MY DEVICE.

So if I'm ANY program on your computer I'm cool to rewrite any device you attach to your computer as long as I write it into my ToS?
A keylogger onto your keyboard so I can make sure you don't even try to cheat? Some software onto your USB-Sticks so I can make sure there are no cheats on them ever, even if put into any other device?

I don't care if it can be "fixed be a OS reinstall" (not restart btw). It isn't fucking theirs to change to begin with.

[lambert @_cqeal]

I didn't say Apple/HP/whatever does this.
I have said if this sets precedent they might be allowed to do this. I'm not a fan of a company dictating you what to use with YOUR phone, but it would be okay-ish.

What I don't want is a company destroying a device you use with your other device because they don't want you to use it.
Imagine a Laptop frying your external display because it's not from the same company.

[lambert @_cqeal]

@LaughingValeV2 @bradsum64 @crvmblr No, they shouldn't. But also the ToS are pretty clear about what happens if you break them. You get banned.

I'm not saying "Riot should sit there and twiddle thumbs while cheaters run rampant". I'm saying "No company should be allowed to brick devices that are not theirs".
