You’ll hear about the must-haves, the just-in-cases, and the “why do I even have this?” gear that somehow always saves the day. Whether

The Update About No Updates - (Episode 141)

2025/10/02

Welcome to The Update About No Updates — the episode where the most prominent tech headline is that there isn’t one. No earth-shattering iPhone redesign, no revolutionary CPU launch, not even a new USB connector to argue about. Instead, we’re stuck in that strange IT twilight zone where the “new” feels suspiciously like the “old,” and version numbers creep forward without anyone really noticing. So, what do we do when the industry runs out of drama? Simple: we update you on our own week. From small

2025/09/18

For more than a decade, Meta has been on a quest to glue screens to our faces, and the results have been pure comedy gold. From the puke-inducing Oculus Rift to the forgettable Oculus Go, from overpriced Quest headsets to the Ray-Ban Stories nobody asked for, Zuckerberg keeps promising the future while delivering awkward toys. Now, the Ray-Ban Display glasses arrive with Jedi-style controls and a cooking AI that forgets recipes mid-demo. Add a failed video call and the classic “bad WiFi” excuse, and

Spinning into madness: More disks than your kernel...

2025/08/21

Picture this: your server room has turned into a disco floor, and every drive is demanding its own spotlight. Thirty disks whirl in perfect sync, but then a rogue 31st struts in, and suddenly your operating system starts sweating like it’s at a math exam it didn’t study for. This episode dives into the hilarious chaos of kernels that choke on too many spindles. These OS quirks make disk handling a balancing act, and why storage can feel less like engineering and more like herding caffeinated

GUI and the Beast - (Episode 132)

That IT show ·

2025/07/31

Once upon a terminal, Linux was the domain of the bold, the bearded, and the bash-literate. But something strange has been happening—quietly, in the background, like a daemon you forgot was running. The Linux desktop, once synonymous with fragmented UIs and endless configuration, now boasts polish, design consistency, and dare we say… user-friendliness? From Pop!_OS to Deepin, modern distros are flirting with UX principles once reserved for the likes of macOS. But has anything really changed? Is

Murphy's law or This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things...

2025/06/26

This week was a perfect storm of technical chaos. In what should have been a routine upgrade, an ISP crew inadvertently knocked out a perfectly functional primary internet line, leaving one of us offline for two full days. Just as we were recovering from that, a pair of server coolers in a critical server failed — naturally, right at the start of the exam period — sending the other one of us back to the office at half past midnight. In this episode, we break down what went wrong, why it always seems
