Podcast #878 - Return of the 4GB GPU, Intel's 65W iGPU, 8GB Surface Laptop is Unusable, LG Bloatware be gone, Linux GOG +MORE!
GOG is coming to Linux! Microsoft asks LG to stop with the bloatware ads, the Radeon RX 9050 arrives in a 4GB config, Nova Lake-S is bringing a 65w iGPU to the fight, and 8GB is just not enough for a laptop with Win 11 + Josh takes over the show with his Racing Corner segment.

Podcast #877 - NVIDIA 88-Core CPU, RTX Cards on Arm Windows, 7700X3D Price Drop, LG Adware, Galaxy Unpacked, Steam hardware + MORE!
R.I.P. John C. Dvorak. In other news ... the Ryzen 7700X3D prices drop already, Nvidia N1X CUDA counts and an 88-core CPU (of course). Windows on ARM gets a real boost with Nvidia GPU drivers, HP is just as bad as we all through regarding printer cartridges, and LG discovers a new low by auto-installing bloatware when you plug in a display. Plenty of AMD good news in the datacenter and Open AI shows that unshackling their creations will probably be as bad as we thought. Steam hardware sales and so much more in the show! Enjoy.

Podcast #874 - Steam Machine Saga Continues, RAM Price Fixing, RIP RTX 5050 9GB, and MORE
Prices are getting so high that we may all end up gaming on potatoes soon. Buy yours from Dell. Steam Machine pricing seems ... like pretty much on target actually. DDR price fixing?! No! The dBrand Companion Cube is no more. PC shipments are falling, and Sony agrees that you will own nothing and like it very much.

Podcast #873 - The Steam Machine Episode, also starring DDR. Special guests FSR4.1, Computing History, & GTA VI + MORE
Mostly Steam Machine, but several other products may have been mentioned. Like how memory pricing has gotten so bad that DDR2 is being made again, you'll get Windows 11 25H2 whether you like it or not, that the history of computing includes us, and that you are not eligible for a GTA VI preview and you'll pay $90'ish for it.

Let me start off by saying that we should have made a "5309" reference, a miss on our part. AMD has a very good financial report, let the Josh take wash over you. Steam controller launches, sells out, and you probably don't have one. 32GB was the minimum. Then it wasn't. Microsoft, so trustworthy. Also plain text never hurt anyway. And so much more!
