This week it's all about video connections. HDMI 2.1 is dead to us, DisplayPort is the future, and dongles are the temporary solution. Freesync is dead-ish, and long live VRR. How much difference does X86_64_v4 make? How about AMD's new c cores? Then there's Pingora, the new nginx killer from Cloudflare; a bit of depressing news about native Linux games on Steam, and our favorite guilty pleasure GUI tool. For tips we have last for tracking logins, a Gnome extension for monitoring AirPods; Warehouse for managing flatpacks, and qemu-img as a first step to resizing a VM drive. You can find the show notes at https://bit.ly/3T1dkF1 and Happy Linuxing!

Host: Jonathan Bennett

Co-Hosts: Ken McDonald, Jeff Massie, and Rob Campbell

After sacrificing our pound of flesh for episode 500, we get into some spicy Big Tech dynamics and the performance mess of WebAssembly runtimes.

Summer may be over, but we're still here and ready to answer the hot questions from you, the listener. This month we field everything from automating household chores to HDMI-CEC woes, that time one of the Mythbusters (guess who!) built a buzzsaw-equipped drone of death, our dream interviews from throughout history, 140-year-old fire safe technology, a preemptive year-end performance review, plus other stuff!

This week we're putting ourselves to the test by bringing a list of PC and tech peeves, and then passing judgement on our own complaints. Do we have a legitimate grievance, or are we just being crotchety about things like monitors that don't behave themselves, the disappearance of PCIe slots, Internet of Things things going off the grid, useless motherboard shrouds, rattling hard drive cages, and the algorithmic destruction of useful search results? We decide! Then you also decide!
