Podcast #775 – Lots of Arm News, OLED Burn-In, DirectSR, Stop Chrome AI Search Results, iFixIt & Samsung, Leaving Steam and MORE
It’s been a busy weekend – trying to catch up!
So our new Josh OLED wipe is now included at no extra charge for this one show only. Also find so much Arm coverage, even with Nvidia. There’s even some good Security news! Direct SR if you can figure it out, and iFixIt and Samsung have broken up. Also, we update that crazy AI thermalpaste story from last week – much more in the topics below!
We send out a huge THANK YOU to our generous and ever faithful Patreon members. New folks and current ones that are bumping their patronage are greatly appreciated.
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!
