Podcast #644 - AMD Auto Overclocking, Win 11 Update, Apple News, ExpressVPN Bought + More! Sep 17, 2021

Show notes

Power and internet have been restored, so we're back after some weather-related, tree-related issues prevented us from gracing the 'tube last week. And things happened. Like AMD's fancy new overclocking feature built into the latest Radeon drivers that automatically voids your warranty! And other stuff. Plus burger of the week and more than our fair share of unrelated banter. Oh, and tree damage photos if you want to laugh at Sebastian's bad luck. It's all here. Including other various tech news and reviews as well.

This week's episode talks about AMD's Radeon RX 6600 XT performance, as well as the painful realities of pricing and availability.

Someone once (reportedly) said, "640(K) ought to be enough for anybody". If that's true then this is the LAST EVER edition of the podcast. However, Bill G. claims never to have said this, so I guess he wants us to keep going. FINE.
