Podcast #849 – Year End Show – AM4 CPU Price Spike, 8GB Laptops in 2026, RTX 50 Series Cuts, 2025 wrap up + MORE!

There are FOUR lights!
But besides that, we have AMD news on Redstone, their B650 chipset and so much DDR pricing and related news that you’ll platz.  Oh, Kohler has got a toilet cam security issue (seriously) and your One Time Password use is so very passé.  Microsoft also plans to finally make Windows 11 better for gaming in 2026 – Steam and Bazzite reportedly not worried.  So much more in this show!

Thanks to Notion and their AI enfused Notion Agent for the sponsorship this week, help us out and check out their very cool offer at:

Whow!  We must also thank our Patreon members, because without you … we would be gone – seriously.
New folks joining in the fray and current ones that are bumping their patronage are greatly appreciated.

This show cannot go on without you – you know who you are, please consider helping our efforts. It most definitely helps keep us on the air. And helps Josh buy burgers. Thank you!
