Podcast #880 – Xbox on Linux, Big Tech Hides AI Debt, RTX 50 Series Price, Woodgrain Motherboard, 8GB Windows 11 + MORE!
Linux gaming support keeps improving, TPM hardware keeps gaining vulnerabilities, the AI tech sector keeps gaining debt linked to investments, and advertisers keep gaining sneakier ways to infiltrate your content experiences. Enjoy!
Ah, Kent couldn’t make the show at the last minute, and Brett so planned on being there (lights were on, computer was spun up), but a last minute emergency took him off the air too – so it’s a threesome tonight! (I should have written that differently I think …)
You enjoy now.
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!
