After a couple of weeks we are back at full strength, and it will take our combined willpower to withstand the might of NVIDIA's ridiculous earnings report. We also talked about the reported listings for a 400W Core i9-14900KS, took a look at Corsair's A115 air cooler, and Josh reviewed some food.  And also you can now trade one benevolent OS vendor for another with a Windows 10 -> ChromeOS upgrade!  Plus other topics, found in the time stamps below.

Josh is back, but Brett was stuck at work - so we podcasted as a trio for the second week in a row. And this time, somehow (without Brett to add stories to the list), the entire show is just over 45 minutes long. Don't despair - there's still a burger segment! Recorded February 14, 2024.

Josh abandoned us this week to stream himself virtually attending a Flight Simulator event, so you will have to contend with a trio of cranky people as we discuss another week's PC industry news. Sorry in advance - though Jeremy did walk us through Josh's burger segment.  There's still plenty to panic over in the Security Corner, and some AI coming to Google maps - just what we needed.

Another week, another NVIDIA SUPER launch. But this is the last one, we promise. (We hope.) You probably already know it's barely any faster than the original, but it's $200 less (in the USA anyhow) so who cares, right??We talked about more stuff, too like why security is terrible and a cool game named "Judas".  Also, just check the time stamps below.  Recorded January 31, 2024 using digital recording technology unheard of in the Middle Ages.

Recorded live in GPU City, where a mutagen spill has radically altered our minds, but somehow left our bodies unchanged...and without any ninjutsu proficiency. Oh well, at least there are two GPU launches to talk about, and you'd better believe we talked about them. RTX gets a Remaster.  Also, a burger.

We are back again this week to discuss, among other things, just how super the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER actually is. There are also some weird tales about display tech at CES, thermal pad vs. paste, more Windows LLM shenanigans, and even a new version of memtest86!  But wait!  There's some "great" security scares (and theater?) with some gaming news thrown in too!

It's CES 2024 wrap-up time, and in this by no means comprehensive look at this year's show - the podcast crew covers some highlights, including AMD's newest GPU and new additions to the Ryzen lineup, plus NVIDIA's Super cards (and changes to the RTX 40 Series lineup). Oh and several other topics like Bifurcation on a GPU, the MSI Claw, and our review of the Corsair K55 CORE, plus at least one burger.  Topics below. Recorded January 10, 2024.

It's the first podcast of the new year, and we are less than a week from CES 2024. What is in store? If we ignore the inevitable deluge of AI integration into every imaginable consumer electronic device at the show, possibly some affordable-ish graphics cards. We can only hope. Also, AMD might have some interesting Zen4/RDNA3 APUs.   Dial in some security scares and some gaming news, and boom:  we have a show.Oh, and Josh had another burger.

Ho ho ho! Josh has been naughty this year, but coal is controversial so we were forced to give him all of his presents anyway. But what, you may ask, about you, the viewer? Why, this podcast is your gift! And what a precious, priceless, incredible gift it is. Go ahead - show it off. Impress your friends! Watch it again and again. It's the last show of 2023, after all... It has all the usual twists and turns naturally, with some of your favorite segments including Intel Arc news, (in)Security Corner, and gaming fun.  It's the end for GTX and a quick look at the AVerMedia Live external capture device.   It's a merry 'ole time.

This week we gather, virtually, to discuss a wide array of topics, listed below in the time stamps. Also, Josh eats one of the messiest looking things he has documented to date.  Bye E3, 1.4nm process nodes, 20GB "evil" networking, and a DOOM'd celebration! Recorded December 13, 2023.

A picture is worth a thousand words, so a video this long must be worth about a billion. And that's how you'll feel, just watching it.
