Podcast #857 - Acer and ASUS Ban, More PC Hardware Doom and Gloom, Cheap USB Speakers, Sparky RTX 5090 and MORE

The RAM-apocolypse continues of course, with hints of it hitting general manufacturers, and delay of gaming systems and even spinning harddrives. At least Micron is making some PCIe 6 drives you cannot have. Also, since we are sometimes audio geeks as well as PC, we talk about some bananas. Seriously. You'll just have to listen to get the scoop on bad Chrome extensions, bad Copilot, and bad password managers. Until then, enjoy Unread Tournament 2004!
