  • Podcast #885 - Rising Hardware Prices, New USA NAND Fab? No RTX 6090 For You, and MORE
    4 Oct 2026

    What a great thumbnail for this show!

    Recorded on September 25th.

    Forget about your RTX 5090 purchase probably, oh and you're not getting a 60 series anytime soon either, would you believe that DDR5 prices continue to rise, AMD is becoming an "AI" company, and that a 1TB iPhone appears to be slower then an SD card when accessing disk. Installing Windows 11 with a local account and even Sniper Elite! All this and so much more on this episode!

    12 Sep 2026


    Discussion on the upcoming Intel LGA1954 CPU roadmap, that Plex servers might be vulnerable, LG and all their spying, AI is probably going to destroy us all, RAM prices won't peak, and get a GOG box for the full experience. All that and so much more! (And somewhat less when Brett has to dip out unexpectedly)

  • Podcast #881 - Intel CPU Leak, Arc Linux VRAM Zip, Twitch AI Training, MOZA Racing Sim Gear Review, Ryzen Delidding + MORE!
    20 Aug 2026

    Get the fanciest Ryzen 9 without a lid, Intel appears to be looping back on their naming CPUs and Arc squeaks out more performance (sometimes), CoPilot assists in "hacking" itself, your Twitch streams might be training AI, and Epic appears to be coming to Linux. It's the year of Linux, Am I Right(tm)? or what? All that and way to much for this 5Lb bag again.
