Good times all around here, enjoy the uncut version if you will.Two ITX case reviews, 2nm IBM chip process, and if you add the two 1's in the Intel 11th generation mobile launch we discuss, you also get 2.

Yep, 2+ hours of tech news and discussion about AMD financials, XBOX boards & Zen5, ARM tech, and even Black Mesa.

See you later, and have a great week until then. ...
Podcast #625 - AMD Drivers, Steam RCEs, ARM Nvidia issues + wires!
Eyes closed tightly in this keyframe mostly, because no wanted to see how this was going to turn out probably.Good times to be had here actually though, well it mostly seemed like that while it was happening anyway.

Here's some insight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7jbtIbZKwQDon't worry, there's also plenty of Apple M1 iMac talk, Nvidia ARM acquisition issues, Discord Microsoft non-acquisit...

Podcast #619 - Uncut with 5 Up Hosting
Kent joins us this evening to discuss his review of the Thermaltake View 51!Sorry about the audio echo on someone's mic, it gets better part way through. Blame Firefox? Chrome? Bueller?Other topics include the early reviews for the 11700k, MS finishes buying Bethesda, Solarwinds hack is worse and funnier, and the RTX 3070 is without a label of distinction at 80 watts, 105 or desktop power! Enjoy that!Also: Watercooled Corsair NVME (Allyn might protest) OpenAI fooled by text That iMac Pro you...
Podcast #618 - All the News and uncut Stuff
It's a chat session with tech overtones and definitely a burger update. Microcenter is only mentioned once, in context even. There's talk of mining, GPU availability, and the "iMac" on Mars. Intel is not quite out of the storage game, and will no longer allow you to buy their "I-fried-my-cpu warranty". And the 3800x might not be a good buy. Plus how bad was Aliens: Colonial Marines? AMD Things! Radeon RX 6700 XT Threadripper PRO Processors coming to DIY Intel Things! Anot...
Podcast #617 - "Exactly" 2 hours of tech jabber
Again we go to the extraordinary lengths to bring you hours of the latest news in tech, hot reviews and off script commentary.

Podcast #616, in the raw. Now with more Jim.
If it wasn't for Jim, we wouldn't be here today. Thanks.

Sorry this took a few days to post, it's been busy out here!Join us for Podcast #614, as I wonder if there will ever be 614 more.

Podcast #612 (not yet 640 Josh)
With almost 30 minutes of restored footage, complete with all the extra "Live" non-sense. Hey there, it's Jim again!

Podcast # 611 - CES 2021 and then some
Fear not, Sebastian does rejoin the show after about 5 minutes. Kent is better looking based on what people write in the comments anyway.We do the run down on a few newsy CES items, and I'll copy this from the email because it was just that good: The Burger Update - because.

Podcast #610 - 2021 here we go
The uncut version.A bit of a slow tech news week where we cover AMD maybe making a chiplet move in the GPU space, leaked benchmarks from Rocket Lake and 11th gen chipset compatibility, and Switch gaming in the cloud. We discuss what some of the 2021 trends might be, the "best" upcoming games and things we're looking forward to. (Less expensive PCIe 4 storage, 5G, Halo Infinite, System Shock!). There's the inevitable talk of when will "XYZ-thing" be available, Virtual CES ...
Podcast #609 - final 2020 show with special guests!
Please welcome back to the show a couple of friendly faces: Jim Tanous and Kent Burgess!Since this was essentially our Christmas / New Years show, some of us got dressed up. The lumberjack flannel that Jim has on was just stunning and Jeremy is wearing a lampshade that only Canuks can see. The festivus pole is finally put to good use during the airing of grievances dream sequence part of the show.Anyway, on to the final news of the year which included:Chkdsk for SSDs? MiniPCs are a happening thi...
Podcast #608 Already!? Uncut and hung out.
Not quite the same as in Cyberpunk 2077, but still, we're all hanging out together right?An epic 2:20 show, take a break part way through is my advice. I did, and I was in it.- Nvidia the good (Vulkan Rays!) and the bad (Review us the way we like it, or else)- Encryption and the sad tale of Solar Winds- Microcenter, sometimes a deal, sometimes no- Review of the Sapphire Nitro+ RX6800 and WD Blue SN550- Cyberpunk things, of course- More, obviously because it was like 2+ hours ok?Enjoy people!...
Podcast #607 - Uncut, so Skip 30:00
Yeah, probably mostly skip the first 30 min of figuring out what we're doing while messing with backgrounds, Alice in the middle (Ha!), and 5 hosts this evening. Yes, we were joined by Kent! He stepped in to add commentary and talk about his experience with the Lian Li LANCOOL 215 case.We discuss a bit of Cyberpunk 2077, the 6090xt, ultra widescreen monitors, and 10c / GB TLC NAND finally?There's a review of the Phanteks Shift Air 2, with only a passing discussion of the photography.
