Closing/outro

[jarvisgarcia]

Thumbs up for Corinthian leather comment by Josh. Nothing like quality 70's material.

[HitMarkersAreFun]

just watched episode 1 during my lunch break today, couple hours before I watched this podcast, so I had no idea Josh was going to reveal his pick. And I wholeheartedly agree mindhunter is very good, and gets better :)

[miendude]

Fantastic explanations for MAMR! Earned a sub just for that alone haha, great work :)

[XFourty]

59:55 I never knew the Q in "Qualcom" looked so much like the quake 1 symbol lol, just cut out the top and we're gold.

[JohnSTF]

The MAMR Tech sounds fascinating, even though i didn't really undestand half of it about how it works.

[photonboy]

MAMR doesn't need to wait for current tech to run into the capacity wall. If they can INCREASE GB per Dollar cost then it boils down to the costs involved to implement the new technology sooner rather than later. It's not just the largest capacity HDD's that are involved.

[Raivo_K]

Thanks for the AMD motherboard review. Hopefully more to follow because AMD is not going anywhere by the looks of it.

[toyspeed]

Microwave(300 GHz – 300 MHz) is actually relatively low frequency compare to something like light(770 THz – 400 THz) or UV

[Kurukx]

8:19 I want the Diamond HDMI cable not the HAMR tech :)

[AndreSmith]

I wanted to know which store Jeremy bought that 65" TV from,

[disk__]

>its a load bearing socket

underrated joke of the week

[jcBirds]

I hope Jeremy knows NCIX might be shutting its doors

[pelleg]

Paint is still there. Just search Paint, and you'll find it

[Monkadelicd]

The Latin genus name Strix referred to a type of owl believed to suck the blood of infants.

[disk__]

So what I'm hearing is MAMR is better than Vaporwave

[thatguy]

guys... use lightshot for screenshots... come on now.

[Jagerbomber]

Step 4: Knock it over.
Step 5: ????
Step 6: Profit

[alistermunro]

Think of MR bringing to VR what console gaming brought to PC.

[TheTomVaughn]

Shows great as ever---pls kill that outro music lol

[phillipzan]

The strixs monitor s dumb compared to say the Samsung qled. And still running old dp, and HDMI? Come on.
