Podcast #874 – Steam Machine Saga Continues, RAM Price Fixing, RIP RTX 5050 9GB, and MORE
I think we can all agree that this should have been posted days ago, but I was away for a few days (again!)

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!
