We aren't too proud of this technological terror we've constructed, because the ability to record a podcast is insignificant compared to the power of the Schwartz.   Intel Foundry news, SSD pricing, a new RX 550?, TSMC is quaking, and a bevy of security scares!

Another week, and another podcast. It seems like our destiny. In the words of Darth Vader, join us, and together we can rule the galaxy as ... distant cousins? I think that's what he said.

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.

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.
