It's MotF, what else would we do
 
Granted it didn't change names in the early days but it does now

The Aurora systems are piece of shit.

GamersNexus did a review of them and they're crap systems in fancy cases.  
The motherboard has a weak VRM without heatsinks on it, the CPU is cooled by a cheap cooler with Intel mounting that's similar to Intel stock cooler in performance 
Then you have the big fans consuming lots of power trying to move air through the obstructions in the fancy case.
 
See the teardown below, it starts from around 4:30 
 
They could have made it more efficient with a better VRM on the motherboard and maybe a bit better power supply  - the 650w one they use is OEMed by Huntkey and is gold efficiency - they could have spent 10-20$ more and bundle it with a platinum one or something like that. 
 
Anyway, the regulations are tough, but not hard to achieve with a bit of extra cost.  The 12v0 power supplies make it easier to meet or exceed the requirements because they're more efficient. 

Summary
Due to new power consumption regulations on consumer computer devices, Dell/Alienware isn't shipping certain high-end gaming PCs to select states. In December 2021, this will also apply to other devices such as high refresh gaming monitors.

My thoughts
 
Updated: as more information has been discovered and revealed, I retract basically all my early assumptions. This isn't the States' issue. This is Dell/Alienware being slow to adapt to modern energy efficiency requirements that have been long coming.

If you do, just set an FPS limit in your Nvidia Control Panel to prevent the suspected issue of FPS over drive causing massive power draw and spikes. 
 

Nope. I have a 3080 but i'm still not chancing it. I have plenty of other games to play. I'll wait a while for some patches and see how this plays out.

Was thinking of giving this game a look, will be giving it a wider berth than a smelly portaloo at a festival.  The investigations into this will be very interesting! 

Zero day or a known exploit being used?
 
If it's known then the companies should be fined heavily, patch your damn software.

Literally watch the video

I have a hatred for domestic budget printers. 

Did you send this person any money?
You've fallen victim to a scam. If you've sent any money you should contact your bank as soon as possible to report it and try to stop the payment. You should also report it to the police or any dedicated fraud/online scam agency your country has. 

bruh

This is why we can't have nice things, Luckily we have a decent community of people developing a fork of 2.0.

Honestly at this point I'm awaiting public toilets that charge per gram of deposit.
