PC Perspective Podcast

PHP and eMudhra security highlights!  Game companies are in trouble!  But maybe you'd like a new Sony Walkman or some fresh TP-Link hardware?  You cannot physically stand in the way of AI progress either btw, no matter how much more expensive RAM gets. Enjoy the show in all it's glory - which means Josh does a MOZA Release again! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:38 Patreon 01:41 Food with Josh 03:58 Upd...

Look what we've done here!  News on the RAM you cannot buy, Microsoft optimizing Windows 11, KINGPIN is coming back, the Spectre problem resurfaces, Apple gets Bloaty, a boy and his bot hacks Microsoft Titan and why not fix that 12vHPWR with 2 8 Pins like God intended?  All this and so much more - you will enjoy yourself, trust me.

Josh was traveling and could not participate. (Boooo!)  But we did it all anyway!  For you all, always. You missed talking about RAM pricing, we got it.  You missed talking about 12vHPWR, we got it.  Chrome, errr, Googlebooks abound!  Plus Copilot is coming for you OS and you'll just love it.  All this and very much more to enjoy your time with us thanking you very much have a good day!  (heh). Ti...

What a great thumbnail for this show! Recorded on September 25th. Forget about your RTX 5090 purchase probably, oh and you're not getting a 60 series anytime soon either, would you believe that DDR5 prices continue to rise, AMD is becoming an "AI" company, and that a 1TB iPhone appears to be slower then an SD card when accessing disk. Installing Windows 11 with a local account and even Sniper Elit...

Discussion on the upcoming Intel LGA1954 CPU roadmap, that Plex servers might be vulnerable, LG and all their spying, AI is probably going to destroy us all, RAM prices won't peak, and get a GOG box for the full experience.  All that and so much more!  (And somewhat less when Brett has to dip out unexpectedly) Timestamps 00:00 Intro 01:20 Patreon 02:59 Food with Josh 05:37 News begins - iPhone Duo...

Where else are you going to get GTA6, WiFi7, M6, WPA3, RTX 5090 and Atari 2600 coverage all in the same show?  No where else, that's where.  Listen to the dulcet tones of tech whisperers go over the weekly news and so much more.  Hot Chips, SteamOS, Outlook stupidity!  Oh, and Linux turns 35. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:46 Patreon 01:44 Food with Josh 04:24 Breaking news - Hot Chips was all about a...

Get the fanciest Ryzen 9 without a lid, Intel appears to be looping back on their naming CPUs and Arc squeaks out more performance (sometimes), CoPilot assists in "hacking" itself, your Twitch streams might be training AI, and Epic appears to be coming to Linux.  It's the year of Linux, Am I Right(tm)? or what?   All that and way to much for this 5Lb bag again. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:29 Patreo...

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 o...

We continue the journey to 1000 episodes with this riveting installment that could possibly change your life. Not convinced? If you order big bacon-covered burgers every day that WILL change your life. We guarantee it. Print out your Noctua things, run Windows 11 in 8Gb with varying degrees of success, AMD makes the monies, and EA goes private.  Question:  Is THIS the year of Linux?  Why did Roomb...

GOG is coming to Linux!  Microsoft asks LG to stop with the bloatware ads, the Radeon RX 9050 arrives in a 4GB config, Nova Lake-S is bringing a 65w iGPU to the fight, and 8GB is just not enough for a laptop with Win 11 + Josh takes over the show with his Racing Corner segment.  Maybe a DD$4 build is not in your future?  There's so much more in here, it's hard to summarize, I'm afraid you'll just...

R.I.P. John C. Dvorak. In other news ... the Ryzen 7700X3D prices drop already, Nvidia N1X CUDA counts and an 88-core CPU (of course).  Windows on ARM gets a real boost with Nvidia GPU drivers, HP is just as bad as we all through regarding printer cartridges, and LG discovers a new low by auto-installing bloatware when you plug in a display.  Plenty of AMD good news in the datacenter and Open AI s...

I had a dream that I posted this already - but I was wrong. The Ryzen 5800X3D becomes widely available, it's like the return of the former king.  Memory supply continues to get worse, but no worries, you'll just pay more.  AMD FSR continues to develop, and Windows 11 gets slightly better.  So much more here, check out the notes below! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:39 There is no German version 02:14...

Valve offers Windows drivers now for the Steam Machine, Intel feels like they need to join to price rising brigades, Micron is fab, MiniPC's with last gen gear, and Nvidia will lend you money on easy terms!  Adobe has another vulnerability and Microsoft has a couple fresh ones too! So much more in the actual show ... especially the live version, which you probably missed. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 0...

Prices are getting so high that we may all end up gaming on potatoes soon.  Buy yours from Dell. Steam Machine pricing seems ... like pretty much on target actually.  DDR price fixing?!  No!  The dBrand Companion Cube is no more.  PC shipments are falling, and Sony agrees that you will own nothing and like it very much.   There's so much to be angry about it this episode while we basically shake o...

Mostly Steam Machine, but several other products may have been mentioned.  Like how memory pricing has gotten so bad that DDR2 is being made again, you'll get Windows 11 25H2 whether you like it or not, that the history of computing includes us, and that you are not eligible for a GTA VI preview and you'll pay $90'ish for it.  But you might be eligible for FSR 4.1!  Take a listen or watch the show...

Well well, what do we have here?   Another episode of the PCPer Podcast for your enjoyment!   Commodore is making phones, Steam Machine is starting to make waves, iGPUs are getting dropped, 12vHPWR is making lightning, a very special segment on pricing of olde, a critical Copilot vulnerability (suprise?), and a Bitlocker Zero Day.  Steam hardware survey, brown cooling, and the infamous Podcast sou...

The back episodes finally make it online, this is number 4 in a series of episodes - wait - this IS the current episode! Brett is back, so the episodes are getting posted almost on time!  Windows is starting to support ARM more, RAM pricing hysterics, Windows 11 CPU boost, Intel improves with iBOT, Microsoft 365 brings the CoPilot, and bots surpass humans on the network.  On with the show, enjoy!...

The back episodes finally make it online, this is number 3 in a series of episodes that did not get posted, but are now! Brett is out (which is why these didn't get posted) - but the show is very fine, up to our usual standards.  Computex hits (and misses), the 5800X3D comeback, our RX 9070 GRE review, the ZimaCube 2 Pro and even a VS Code zero day and ZeroSpace gaming!  Enjoy! Timestamps: 0:00 In...

The back episodes finally make it online, this is number 2 in a series of episodes that did not get posted, but are now! Brett is out (which is why these didn't get posted) - but the show is great as usual!   Motorola phones hijaking stuff, Steam Deck OLED pricing, LLMs spill their guts, and Windows laptop makers are scare of the Macbook Neo!? Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 1:27 Patreon 1:52 Food with Jos...

The back episodes finally make it online, this is number 1 is a series of episodes that did not get posted, but are now! Brett is out (which is why these didn't get posted) - but the show is great!  So much insecurity, so much Linux and retro, enjoy!

Let me start off by saying that we should have made a "5309" reference, a miss on our part. AMD has a very good financial report, let the Josh take wash over you. Steam controller launches, sells out, and you probably don't have one. 32GB was the minimum.  Then it wasn't.  Microsoft, so trustworthy. Also plain text never hurt anyway. And so much more! Thanks to our sponsor this week: Zapier! Bring...

Intel is making BANK on their stocks, but still not getting respect on their CPUs, GALAX is shutting down (mostly), Microsoft is trying REALLY hard now, does ASUS have the 12vhpwr cabling answer?, and patch your damn cPanel right now.  Plus cool gaming tidbits and more on that router ban.  Enjoy all that and even slightly more! 0:00 Intro 0:39 Patreon 2:18 Food with Josh 3:55 Intel stock hits reco...

What's better then an episode of the PCPer Podcast?  Two of them at once! The reviews of the 9950X3D2 are in from discerning reviewers.  TL;DR; - it's not for everyone, but it's very much for some.  The return of the 3060 is almost here, wait - DDR pricing has an upside?, D-Link routers take another beating in the security section, XBox mode, and the tipping point is here for IPv6 (I know, I know:...

Whoops!  How did this get missed?!   Is 12vHPWR really that bad? Why aren't you mad enough about DDR and SSD pricing?!  Nvidia is BUYING ... well it's not HP.  All that "Don't track me bro" stuff is for naught, Sony sells you less and you'll buy it, and Linux stops being able to be loaded on just about anything.  You cannot wait for the segment on Ethernet cables, I know.  All that and more! 0:00...
