We joined Wendell from Level1 Techs to talk about not just the RGB problem, but the explosion of proprietary parts on the PC market. That includes everything from motherboards, new power standards, cabling changes to ATX, fans that can't connect to other fans, and more. This went from a rant to much more -- the formation of a standards stewardship and knowledgebase organization, OpenPleb, founded by Wendell of Level1 Techs and Steve of GamersNexus as a new host of documentation, agreements between vendors, and open standards that benefit the health of the computer industry. This is a topic that deeply concerns both of us for reasons far beyond the seemingly 'simple' beginnings of RGB, as we fear something more sinister as PC hardware continues to lock users into ecosystems and as vendors gain enormous power to just 'turn off' devices once they're past the desirable supported age.

Links to Amazon and Newegg are typically monetized on our channel (affiliate links) and may return a commission of sales to us from the retailer. This is unrelated to the product manufacturer. Any advertisements or sponsorships are disclosed within the video ("this video is brought to you by") and above the fold in the description. We do not ever produce paid content or "sponsored content" (meaning that the content is our idea and is not funded externally aside from whatever ad placement is in the beginning) and we do not ever charge manufacturers for coverage.
