It was another week of news, rumors, game releases, four-year-old GPUs becoming irrelevant thanks to Mesh Shader support requirements, the industry freaking out about arm64 and declaring the death of x86, and other things. So many security fails to wedge into 1 show and then we flavor the cast with a Loupedeck review.   Topics below!

Words flow from us at an alarming rate, but be not afraid; we are the harbingers of semi-literate PC hardware and software discussion. Also, burgers.
In this episode, we discuss the VERY EXCITING Intel 14th Gen launch, look at a very fancy Falcon Northwest Talon desktop equipped with one of these processors, and eventually talk about AMD un-launching Anti-Lag+ after it caused some mildly inconvenient bans from popular games when using the feature. There's even a very exciting back and forth on programmable remotes during the SofaBaton pick!  
The rest of the topics can be found in the time stamps below.  
Recorded October 18, 2023.
