I made this video discussing my thoughts on the OpenPleb initiative by Wendell of Level1Techs and Steve of Gamers Nexus. As the developer of OpenRGB, the OpenPleb initiative, which aims to work with hardware vendors to open up documentation for proprietary protocols used for consumer PC hardware, could be a massive boon for OpenRGB development as at the moment almost everything we add is reverse engineered. Having access to protocol documentation would improve the quality of our code and the efficiency in which we can release it.

For reference, I’d recommend watching Steve’s original video here:

I posted this on /r/hardware because Steve’s video got a lot of traction there, but I wasn’t necessarily happy about posting on Reddit, so here it is for Lemmy.
