@SStricklandMMA Horrible take.

[zito @zitoxbl]

@WindowsCentral This is misleading, talked with the dev’s in the discord and they claim you must first replace your sticks before attempting to fix stick drift.

W, SMS has been deprecated for years

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

Microsoft is removing SMS codes for signing into personal Microsoft accounts, including Xbox accounts.

Soon, you won’t be able to use SMS for login verification or account recovery. Microsoft says the change is for security reasons, as text-message codes are vulnerable to phishing, SIM swaps, and other attacks.

Switch to more secure sign-in methods now, such as:
>Passkeys
>The Microsoft Authenticator app
>A verified backup email address

@SoaRGaming @ClassicsGG Want to buy a ticket but I’m solo and it’d be a 3 hour drive… any chance I can guarantee get a team assignment?

Hot take: Don’t spend $6k on cheating hardware with the intent of playing a game containing kernel-level anti cheat, agreeing to the EULA, and expect no repercussions.

[Riot Games @riotgames]

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.
