Here is the edited version of that podcast recording session.  Within you find side-quests, insights, food, camera lens talk - and tech.  Lots of tech talk on such things like Microsoft making terrible decisions, bad security theater, and idle data.  Join us.

It's another week, and another PCPer podcast! Recorded August 10, 2022.

News is first, and while it may be mid-August of 2022, NVIDIA had a bad quarter in Q2 2023 already. Not the first thing we'd do if time travel was realized, but it takes all kinds. We also discuss reports of the AMD Ryzen 7000 DDR5 sweet spot, look at some re-purposed retro tech from the 2022 Hackaday Prize winners, and look into Gigabytes replacement for the Z690i Ultra mobo. Plus mandatory Intel Arc news (they went PRO), and the usual 'gaming quick hits' and depressing 'security corner'.

Featured this week is Kent's third installment in the 'upgrading in mid-2022' blog, with further explorations of the major and minor components he chose, and why.

Josh took himself out to a ballgame, so we podcasted without him. But that doesn't mean you won't see some OG PCPer faces, if you listen to at least the 24-ish minute mark. Heck, you might as well watch to 26 min, as well. Maybe even to the end.

Enjoy the Z690 build series, GPU sales, gaming updates and security sadness!

Kent gives us a personal rig build update, we take a look at the full Intel ARC lineup as it's known now, then a review of the EPOS H3PRO Headset, there's plenty of GPU pricing discussion, with gaming quick hits and security issues!  Yeah!  

So we did it again. Recorded a podcast on a Wednesday night, it's just over an hour of tech talk (and burger of the week), so get comfortable. Josh-level comfortable.

We are back at it YET AGAIN, podcasting about another week's worth of PC hardware and software news. It's the kind of content you can only find in a few thousand other places, so you really don't want to miss this one.

Note: we recorded this BEFORE the Gamers Nexus video on Arc graphics with Tom (and Ryan) from Intel was published. You can watch that here: https://youtu.be/AN8ZAf15DrM

And no, it didn't end up being "50 min and 36 sec" after all. Somehow the running time ballooned up to a whopping 50 minutes and 39 seconds between rendering and uploading. Where did the extra 3 seconds come from? ALIENS. (Probably.)

It's another week, and this time we actually have a new graphics card release that's semi-available to buy! For $2k. And, while having the fastest hardware for PC gaming has become a hobby for only the wealthy among us, that is FINALLY changing this year, we think.

1:00:47 Awkward jump-cut to awkward outro

Brett was absent this week, but we found a way to podcast anyway. And what a memorable podcast it was. How many times can we celebrate lucky number 777? Just once, it seems. And that is undeniable - like the Billy Dee Williams (by Avon) fragrance for men, "Undeniable".

Please find the usual Windows security scares, thoughts on Starfield, Adobe finally makes users upset, RTX50 rumors and so much more!
