I’m not sure what kind of peripherals the article talks about, but I’ve had a lot of weird crashes with ASUS MB onboard feature that provides RGB lightning to various fans and whatever. I may misremember the details; it was 6 or so years ago when I encountered that, but their AsIO driver was an abomination of engineering. Not only was it a god driver that allowed users to mess with arbitrary memory and MSRs from userspace, it managed to somehow mess up SMBus and cause random lockups.
Guess there’s plenty of other hardware companies that aren’t producing better software.
