  Only the external cheating hardware, it’s very misleading (as evidenced by 95% of the commenters on the post thinking its the PC getting bricked)

    And they’re not even bricking the cheating devices, just blocking them using hardware features that can be disabled (as long as you don’t want to run vanguard).

  It’s not physically bricking anything. It’s a firmware modification that prevents two pieces of hardware from talking to each other.
