CES 2025 wrap-up show, featuring at least 15% more energy than last week! We've got semi-hot takes on some CES 2025 gear, discussions on Nvidia cards, what's up with AMD, Thermaltake, HDMI and the usual cadre of Security scares. Even DOOM gets in on the act. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:28 Food with Josh 02:54 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series announcemen…

Our first podcast of 2025 is the reason that playback speed control exists. Just set to at least 1.5x and you should be able to stay awake through most of it. But do stay for the RTX rumors, the "AirJet" cooling, hot takes on 12vHPWR, and the usual suspects on the (in)Security portion. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:59 Food with Josh (minus the food) 0…

We present our ULTIMATE podcast for the year 2024. See you next year (as in a couple of weeks from now)! And remember, when you want more hard drive capacity, you need to get perpendicular: https://archive.org/details/get-perpendicular 00:00 Intro 04:03 Food with Josh 06:45 Intel shares update about Arrow Lake S performance 10:00 Arc B580 performan…

A fantastic show - as you have come to expect. Does Microsoft support installation without TPM? Intel needs a reinvention moment, Arrow Lake fix doesn't seem like a good "fix" yet, LLM hallucination returns, and what is this Wubuntu thing again? Plus much more! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:32 Food with Josh 02:42 Microsoft suddenly supports TPM-free …

After a week off, we expected to have at least a few things to talk about. But it turned out to be a very busy few days, including the sudden "retirement" of Intel's CEO... Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 03:00 Food with Josh 05:52 Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger Departs 16:09 Intel Arc Battlemage 26:33 ASRock PPM driver boosts Arrow Lake gaming perf 29:25 Radeon …

We made it to 800! It's amazing what can be done by simply sitting in front of a PC and chatting with a few friends for an hour or two almost every Wednesday night for many years in a row. Stick around for 9800X3D talk (of course), (in)Security scares, and a quick review of some RGB free ram! Oh Nvidia financials, some Ryzen turbo, and Win 11 smack…

We are on the brink of history, as next podcast will be number 800. It's been a long ride, with our first show way back in 2007... Don't worry, this isn't goodbye. This is a podcast. A podcast about computer stuff. (And burgers.) Be prepared for D-Link whipping, massive NVME cooling, and of course, special guest Lara Croft. 00:00 Intro 02:58 Food w…

Do you like product review coverage for products that are sold out and currently on eBay for hundreds of dollars more? Perfect! We talk about the 9800X3D a lot on this show, and Josh was right about it selling out (and Sebastian was WRONG WRONG WRONG). But also ... GTA5 sales (why not?), Recall Recall, Windows 10 continued support and please please…

Welcome to the creepiest PC hardware podcast on the net, and that's on a NORMAL week. We've got Intel Core Ultra, Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Windows 24H2 ... but will we surpass our own standard with this VERY SPECIAL Halloween episode? You will have to watch to find out... Skip to 31:35 for the official Ryzen 7 9800X3D announcement (recorded on October 31) …

What a week. So much exciting news to cover, including the extremely well-received new Intel Core Ultra desktop processors! Does sarcasm evident? Anyhow, we received them, too, but without a motherboard, so not much tested happened before this launch. No worries, we're getting a board, and have turned off our AI assistants. Or have we? Timestamps: …

We've got Intel and AMD teaming up, Click2Cancel making waves, so much ARM discussion where it wasn't meant to be, Windows 11 BSODs (suprise!), a bunch of X86 discussion and a terrible amount of security nightmares! Should be fun, take a listen! 00:00 Intro 03:07 Food with Josh 05:22 Intel and AMD team up for the good of x86 08:59 The x86 discussio…

It was an AMD-heavy show last week, so how about an IntelCast? (Don't worry, there's a lot of non-Intel content - plus at least one of us is a card-carrying member of Team Red). So much (in)Security too: your air-gap is pathetic, Qualcomm zero-day, Linux malware, and DDoS to the max. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:52 Food with Josh 04:08 Intel Core Ult…

We actually do talk about more than just AMD this week. Plus, we stray from the point a lot while talking about things like dual screen laptops, HP AI infused printers, if maybe you should buy a used RTX 2080ti. All in good fun. 00:00 Intro 02:30 Food with Josh 04:17 AMD Ryzen update (105W mode official, etc.) 06:31 The new X870 motherboards are he…
