We had a lot of fun making this one. After some off-topic discussion, we get into a recent purchase by Bill. We get into Pop!_OS in a big way! Somehow we segue into shaving products. All this and way more!
It's another AI episode folks. We had a good conversation about it though. It's not all moaning, we promise. In the beginning, we're talking about some of Bill's hardware accelleration woes, and what he's doing to remedy it. All this and way more!
A rather "in-depth" conversation about the nature of language, thought, and communication starts us off. We inevitably move on to AI. Those things and more!

Just Bill and Majid this week. It all starts a bit rough with a little back and forth between the blokes, but gets better with a conversation about Linux for "normal" people. Is there more than one kind of "normal" user? We get into a conversation about Apple, family movie night, and "planned obsolescence." All of this and way more!
This week we point out the nature of kindness in the world. We get into a discussion about the challenges of religion and philosophy with regards to keeping up with technology. Perhaps we've given up too much to our devices. Majid works with Elementry OS 8 a little during the recording. Dual-booting becomes the "meat and potatoes" of this episode, where Eric describes the novel idea of creating multiple EFI system partitions. All of this and so much more!

We round it off with a discussion about earbuds, and the price points of many prolific devices.

This week Majid and Bill talk about their PC builds - the good, bad and just plain wrong. Majid describes devolving from restoring old PC parts to literally building his "Ship of Theseus" from new parts. Installing Arch somehow becomes part of the conversation; everything from installing, to how packages are handled on the distro. We then talk about video editing. Evolution of the spoken language, and learning foreign languages sort of round out the show. All of this and so much more!
