Podcast #850 – RTX 5090 Rising, SSDs the Next DDR5, New DDR4 Motherboards in 2026, GOG, Dumb TVs and 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!
