In addition to all that, we discussed SFF specs, Copilot updates, the Fractal Mood, ARM speculative execution, and Intel CPU stability!

Brett was absent this week, but we found a way to podcast anyway. And what a memorable podcast it was. How many times can we celebrate lucky number 777? Just once, it seems. And that is undeniable - like the Billy Dee Williams (by Avon) fragrance for men, "Undeniable".
Please find the usual Windows security scares, thoughts on Starfield, Adobe finally makes users upset, RTX50 rumors and so much more!

This week we have a positive attitude, Josh had a burger, and everyone is happy (and other lies). Watch to catch up on CoPilot issues (we told you so!), Intel and AMD socket longevity, Windows 10 won't die and we miss Napster.

Josh returns this week, and of course there are financials to discuss (NVIDIA is making insane money right now), plus Josh's latest burger, Josh's renovated home office, and other Josh-related content.  Where are Josh's boxes, what's in Josh's closet, what are Josh's floors made of, and who handled his 49" monitor while he was away.
Oh, and we also did a show about this week in tech ... those topics are below.

While Josh might not have been with us, we certainly did mention him.  In mostly good ways.  All this while we discussed the latest AMD 8000 F-Series, Dell XPS with AMD and Snapdragon CPUs, zero day exploits for DLink routers, and even self driving vehicle hacks.  More in the list below.
