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.) There's some EVGA sad news mixed in there with a cool new GOG feature and too many security stories.

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. All that and so much more!

1:35:28 Bonus clip: Kent rage quit the podcast because his mic stopped working

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.

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.

1:17:04 Jeremy did it

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. Riveting as expected. Tidbits dropped on Intel BOOSTing, Microsoft and Windows 10, Synology drives and so much more!
