Asus Betrays PC Enthusiasts, Forces Them to Use Microsoft’s RGB Tyranny
In a shocking move, Asus has announced that it will be supporting Microsoft’s new Dynamic Lighting feature, which allows Windows 11 users to control their motherboard’s RGB lighting without needing a separate app. But don’t be fooled – this is not a victory for PC enthusiasts, but rather a betrayal of their freedom and autonomy.
Microsoft’s RGB Empire Expands
Microsoft added Dynamic Lighting to Windows 11 in September, and now Asus is jumping on the bandwagon, forcing users to use Microsoft’s proprietary RGB controls. This is a blow to the open-source RGB community, which has long fought against Microsoft’s attempts to monopolize the RGB market.
Asus Sells Out to Microsoft
Asus has started testing new beta BIOS updates for its AMD 600 and Intel 700 series motherboards, which include the Dynamic Lighting support. But what does this mean for PC enthusiasts? It means that Asus is now beholden to Microsoft, forced to use its proprietary RGB controls and abandon its own Armory Crate tool.
The Dark Side of Dynamic Lighting
But what about the benefits of Dynamic Lighting? Can’t it be a good thing to have native RGB controls in Windows? Not according to some experts, who warn that Dynamic Lighting is a Trojan horse for Microsoft’s RGB empire. "Once you start using Dynamic Lighting, you’ll be locked into Microsoft’s ecosystem," says one expert. "You’ll be forced to use their proprietary controls and abandon your open-source RGB software."
The Future of RGB is Bleak
So what does the future hold for RGB enthusiasts? It’s a bleak future, indeed. With Asus and other manufacturers jumping on the Dynamic Lighting bandwagon, it’s clear that Microsoft is determined to dominate the RGB market. And what about the open-source RGB community? Will they be able to survive in a world where Microsoft’s proprietary controls are the norm?
The Battle for RGB Freedom
The battle for RGB freedom is far from over. PC enthusiasts must continue to fight against Microsoft’s attempts to monopolize the RGB market. We must stand up for our right to use open-source RGB software and reject Microsoft’s proprietary controls. The future of RGB is at stake, and it’s up to us to decide what it will be.
