Used processor leads to game ban

10 days ago by yesman to c/technology

Someone buys a used Ryzen 7 5800X3D. “Valorant” and other Riot games won’t start with it because the previous owner was a cheater.

What's wrong with this website. I don't see the button "reject". I'm not gonna accept whatever that is just to read this.

I have uBlock origin, it blocked 5 resources on load but it didn't prevent the "With our Pur subscription you can use heise.de without tracking, external banner and video advertising for €4.95 / month" popup.

You can use uBlock to snap the banner out of existence (it has a mode to delete elements from a website)

I just tried blocking elements one by one this way, and after 3-4 containers it's done, but there is no way to scroll the page. It's not that different from using devtools inspector, but when hacking sites that way, I usually can get scroll working. Either way, it's too much effort to read an article you're not even sure is really that valuable.
