Podcast #623 – Burgers are back. Zen 3 and QNAP Security, Right 2 Repair, AMD 6800 XT Black, RTX Voice + MoRe!! (1x623)
: 07, 2021
Yes, this is a tech news and reviews show with a burger fetish. Also, we will try and get the notification emails going again for next week, sorry about that.
There’s plenty of news on this slower news week, plus our review of the Corsair K55 Pro XT keyboard – now filled with RGBs! Topics include security issues from maybe AMD with Zen 3, and definitely with QNAP (patch your NAS!), a discussion of Right to Repair, RTX Voice for many GTX cards, AMD releases another 6800 XT you can’t buy, and a lack of a $1 chip is killing entire supply chains. There’s plenty more where that came from!
Thanks again to all the helpful Patreon members – and a special thanks to apologetic “ban” guy, he’s awesome. If this kind of show is the sort of thing you like – talk of car bricking, ring lights, cats and actually serious tech commentary – please consider supporting our efforts over at our Patreon. It most definitely helps keep us all going and the bills paid. Thanks!
