About this episode

The episode discusses various technology news including NVIDIA's driver issues, Microsoft's gaming priorities, and a data breach in Star Citizen.

The second of two glorious episodes published this week! Bask in my mistake.

Microsoft is still pushing Copilot BTW. All that and so much more fun below.
