And the author downloaded the monitor's edid & bitwrenched it around to make their hack.

I definitely had the same expectation, & was most way through reading, expecting my expectation wasnt going to be mentioned, but I was far from upset. I was quite happy to hear there's kernel workarounds for exactly this kind of thing.

The main shortcoming I feel right now is that this only works if you only have one specific monitor you want to hack, or you are ok rebooting. If the kernel had some way to dynamically override the edid that would be excellent. Maybe a eBPF filter?
