Description

Sponsor: ID-Cooling Frozn A620 SLK on Amazon https://geni.us/Vc8Zi
In hardware news this week, we talk about Discord's age verification rollout failure, the 5090 apparently being too valuable to actually service now, Jensen being exactly like us, and more GPU smuggling news. Also, smart refrigerators probably weren't a good idea.
