Not only do we talk about the things in the description, but we talk (oh so much) about many other things!

To celebrate Independence Day, we teamed up with a big imaginary Hollywood studio to produce this special episode. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll kiss three bucks goodbye. Really, of course, we are one of the top 10 best podcasts in the computer hardware field, so if you're serious about your computer hardware podcasts, you're going to check this out regardless. We've got BSOD's, Nvidia drivers going away, and even hardcoded root passwords. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:31 Patreon 02:31 Food with...

After what seems like ages, but was actually only a week off, we are BACK. Enjoy what some have called "PCPer's greatest podcast episode of all time, even if it was kind of a slow news cycle". It's the energy, really.

A handheld Xbox that's really an ROG Ally with a new Ryzen processor?? An LCD that actually NEEDS bright sunlight like a Game Boy Color?? (Oh, and Josh's legendary food segment.)

Another quarter is behind us, and NVIDIA just made more money than ever before. Thankfully this "ai" bubble will NEVER burst...right?? ASRock says they have fixed their AM5 issues, 10Gbe is going get inexpensive, and what can Brown do for your AIO? Also, there is only one rage quit incident.

No more misinformation - AMD finally announced their Radeon RX 9060 XT, and it turns out that reports of a $449 MSRP were greatly exaggerated. And what the heck is going on with Ryzen and EPYC right now? We have EPYC branded Ryzen desktop chips, and Ryzen branded EPYC chips for workstations (gross oversimplification)?! Developers! (get fired), Silverstone retro, and also there's a clipboard. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:45 Food with Josh 03:57 Radeon RX 9060 XT announced, starts at 299 USD 08:53 T...

We were off last week, and somehow we STILL haven't reached Computex. So, another pre-show show, full of speculation (and speculative exploits). With no time to spare, we talk about Epyc, RX 9060 and RX 9070's, ceramic storage and Windows 3.1 - but not in that order.

The latest episode of the podcast features the musings of J. Hellstrom, background art by J. Hellstrom, and several segments written - in large part - by J. Hellstrom.

Another outstanding example of what can be accomplished by sitting in front of a PC with a microphone and a camera, and chatting with other people who are also sitting in front of PCs with microphones and cameras.

Josh proves that he's the host with the most - and guides us through a brisk show that ends just before the really good stuff. Probably. Also, his cat tried to host.

NVIDIA's latest GPUs are almost here, but we can already tell you that 12GB is the new 8GB. Arc is the true way! (Ok, maybe not, but Josh did buy one.) And, of course, 3dfx had it all figured out with their external power supply for the Voodoo 6000. (note the thumbnail) Microsoft is bringing more AI to raster pipeline, VLC is bringing more AI to just videos, the RTX 50 series will be incredibly powerful and difficult to power, but ASUS might have "The Way".
