Back in the day, I knew what I would get from ASUS and their AURA tech. Pretty simple, just choose what you want and go. My LEDs did what I wanted, it was simple. But no… no they said. Instead we want you to download most of a gig of bullshit to do the same thing, but with extra fucking steps.

I’m pretty sure my light controlling software is now tracking me. I’m not sure if the pattern of my LEDs are watching me or not.

How the shit did we let this come to pass? Why do we let these monstrosities into our life?

I’m part of the problem, I know. I just want my lights to do what I tell them to.

    What annoys me about all this LED crap is that I have to download whatever companies shitty software to disable that shit. IMO all lights should be off entirely unless you install a program to switch them on.

    But I can definitely agree that the software is also shitty.

      This is why I bought a mobo with BIOS level RGB. Can disable that shit at the lowest level possible. Still comes on if you clear cmos/the battery dies, but that seldom happens anyways. I still would prefer it not have rgb in the first place though.
