(Season 4) Minisode 1 – Do I Need a (CPU) Architect?

We’ve had a whole episode on CPUs last season, but we never really got into the nitty-gritty of architecture. You’ve heard of Apple ditching their long-term relationship with Intel for something with more… ARMs- but does that make a difference to you, the consumer?

(Season 3) Episode 20 – (Display)ing Some Knowledge

Displays are everywhere! You likely use them every day, whether it’s by watching TV, using your computer, or interacting with your phone- you can’t really get away from them these days. There are so many kinds of displays, though- so there must be some different, right?

EPISODE NOTES/MISTAKES: We had incorrectly (jokingly) said that ultrawide displays had a display resolution of “21×16”, they are generally 21:9.
