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.

    Define “quite easy?” I’d gladly contribute if it’s straight forward, but I’m personally not really interested in learning how to reverse engineering hw vendor shitware or learning i2c communications in C++.

      nah most things are i2c based and there is nifty sniffer on their wiki. even with just dumps of your device and its native software, you can help
