As cool as this is, Im not quite sure I want my monitor to also watch my porn with me.

"Are you seriously watching porn by yourself?"

"Nah, I'm with my ~~bois~~ monitor!"

It will automatically fast forward to your favorite part. Imagine the time saved.

It wouldn't surprise me if someone does use the software training program that goes with it to program its bottom rgb strip to color-suggest the highlighted segments on Pornhub videos.

Why not? It can tell you when they're about to cut to a close up of a dude's butthole

Cool gimmick, just icky that their target audience is the type of people looking for unfair advantages in a multiplayer game

Its all client-side, so unless LoL is checking the hw on the monitor there is no way to detect it

They could ban hardware, rust banned a certain series of mice to prevent scripting.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

And that's actually an argument against buying this monitor, as long as you want to play any games with it. They have reason to ban you just for using this monitor. So in the end you have the choice between one monitor that could get you banned and all the others that don't. I know which one I wouldn't choose.

Aren't they about to start using their kernel-level anticheat for LoL? They very well could look at hardware ids

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Wow, who knew you could buy a monitor that looks at your data and probably sends it back to MSI.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This isnt just going to get used in LOL but any game that it can be trained on. This is basically another example of money giving people an advantage over everyone else. You buy the monitor, train it and bam, you are "better" at playing pretty much any video game you want and there's not much that can be done to negate that advantage.

HwID-ban straight to hell...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's a shitty move, no good will come from this.

This is along the same lines as streamers getting meta info from their chat.

If it's been rendered on the screen but the user missed it, it's not cheating because you would have had that information if you were more observant

Missing a 0.5 second blip on the minimap vs the monitor telling you HEY HE'S OVER THERE! for several seconds with a big icon you can't miss or ignore, is not quite the same.

One of them is a big advantage. Even pros miss fast blips on the minimap. And it's their job to be "observant"
