Game: Valorant
AC: Vanguard (VGK)
Today’s Vanguard anti-cheat update blocked the majority of DMA firmwares using SATA/NVMe.
VGK suddenly triggered an IOMMU restart warning in-game, after which the DMA firmware becomes completely unusable, even without the game running or after uninstalling Vanguard. Only fix is a full OS reinstall.
It’s using IOMMU to create read blocks, which permanently breaks the majority of almost all SATA/NVMe firmwares once triggered.
Even the advanced H2-board got affected.

PlayStation acquired Bungie for $3.6 Bn in January of 2022. The studio that was earning around $200m annually and not growing. One active project, another one in pre-production. No significant IPs in their pockets, no reason to value it that high. They made…
The typical I told you so moment: significant number of Destiny 2 developers will be fired and the active development of new games is years ahead.

It seems that the charger Valve made for the new Steam Controller is always on and pointed upwards. In case anyone place even remotely conductive materials on top, the charger will shorten. Yes, your body is also conductive...
This definitely violates several safety regulations in North America and Europe, which most likely going to force Valve to redesign and replace all charges. As of now, one charger went off due to smart watch band placed on top. And now we have the official "we are investigating" response from the company, who will replace the device (with exactly the same one).
Oddly enough, the same exact issue already exists in the charger of other gamepads, like 8BitDo Ultimate 2. But due to limited requirements for such devices, they are being sold without independent testing.

The same hacker cracked Mafia The Old Country and LEGO Batman in the same day. Apparently, Denuvo is useless.

I'm tired of seeing people who still believe that "VA is for gaming". Every week someone asks what VA to buy. Even Samsung Odyssey is a bit better but they all have Black Smearing.
The switch between black-white-black is times longer than G-to-G. It makes thin white elements flicker back and forth: grass, fences, fabric, UI elements and text — they will all flicker. The slower the FPS the worse the flicker will be.
- Buy IPS for mixed use
- Buy OLED for entertainment
- Never buy VA and smack anyone who suggest it
On average, people should buy IPS (as of now). They are fast, they never burn, they don't flicker, and they render text perfectly.
