11 OCT. 2026 · Brad's on the road this week, so we shook up another potpourri of mini-topics to discuss, including DIY VR mods, the questionable wisdom of working remotely on a brand new laptop, backing into creating a site-to-site VPN, a those vibe-coded clones of Adobe apps like Photoshop and Lightroom, high-tech tire technology, baby's first attempt at Nix (or in this case Lix), and a bunch of other stuff.

4 OCT. 2026 · Step into the world of history with us as we begin a journey through the stories of the past. In this first episode of Memory and History Podcast, we explore why history is more than just dates, names, and old events. Behind every moment in history are real people, personal stories, dreams, struggles, and experiences that shaped the world we know today. Take a moment to relax and let the past come alive through storytelling. From forgotten memories and ancient civilizations to remarkable people and moments that changed the world, this podcast is all about discovering the human stories behind history. So sit back, get comfortable, and join us as we open the door to the past. Because every era has a story, every place has a memory, and every memory has a story worth remembering. Welcome to the Stories of the Past.

4 OCT. 2026 · This week we round up some news items that have caught our interest in the last few weeks. Google and Walmart have rolled out a backyard drone-delivery program for small orders. Valve is beta testing a unique ultra-low-latency video codec for Steam Remote Play. A recent circuit court decision may have wide-ranging precedent for copyright penalties around AI training data. And the Dutch government is the latest in Europe to pursue its digital sovereignty by moving from Windows to... NixOS? Seems like a lot to talk about!The Verge on Walmart drone deliveries: https://www.theverge.com/report/1002172/potato-by-air-wing-drone-delivery?view_token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpZCI6IkNmeXNqRUM4aVYiLCJwIjoiL3JlcG9ydC8xMDAyMTcyL3BvdGF0by1ieS1haXItd2luZy1kcm9uZS1kZWxpdmVyeSIsImV4cCI6MTc5MTIwNTY4OCwiaWF0IjoxNzkwNzczNjg4fQ.2F5v31w4HCGaSI-PRsxGRkEYAvr_FwpbF_BRoyIJauk&utm_medium=gift-linkValve's Pyrowave beta update: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/homestream/discussions/0/564794422009744473The Pyrowave author's deep dive on the codec: https://themaister.net/blog/2025/06/16/i-designed-my-own-ridiculously-fast-game-streaming-video-codec-pyrowave/Third Circuit finds AI training is copyright theft: https://www.courthousenews.com/ai-training-of-copyrighted-material-not-fair-use-third-circuit/Dutch government turns to NixOS for a sovereign desktop: https://www.theregister.com/os-platforms/2026/09/28/dutch-government-turns-to-nixos-for-a-sovereign-desktop/5299501 Support the Pod!

27 SEP. 2026 · It turns out we haven't answered all the questions that have ever been asked yet, so we figured we'd take a few more from you, the listener, this week, covering topics like cell phone signal strength and the way your carrier prioritizes your traffic, ARM vs. x86 in the context of efficiency, how much vibe-coding is going on in OSs and drivers right now, open source wearable devices, how to store a Nintendo Switch for the very long term, the long and mysterious legacy of the D-subminiature standard, and more.Sparkfun's D-sub blog post: https://news.sparkfun.com/14298 Support the Pod!

20 SEP. 2026 · Following up on our bonus Steam Frame episode earlier this week, Tested's Norman Chan stops by to go much deeper on Valve's new standalone headset, unpacking topics like the pros and cons of pancake optics, local Alyx versus streamed Alyx, a headset with hot-swappable batteries, prescription lens inserts, FEX x86-to-ARM translation, and more. We also wrap up with a holistic look at the entire Valve hardware ecosystem now that all the pieces are in place, pondering what it might all mean for the next Steam Deck and beyond.Check out Norm's Steam Frame coverage on the Tested YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9JyWAVj94E Support the Pod!

14 SEP. 2026 · Valve sent us a review unit of their new standalone VR headset, the Steam Frame and we're here with first impressions, after testing it for about 40 hours over the course of a week. We talk about the FEX x86 to ARM emulator, how well it works with local and streaming VR as well as playing 2D games on a big, giant virtual monitor. Support the Pod!

13 SEP. 2026 · This week we sat down with the 2018 documentary General Magic, about the early '90s startup of the same name that was full of Macintosh veterans who were way ahead of their time about mobile computing, online communications, and a lot of other stuff. Were they really trying to make the iPhone more than a decade before the iPhone? Did they seriously invent early precursors to USB, Java, and emoji long before those things became commonplace? Why did they fail so catastrophically? Join us as we discuss the movie to ponder these and other questions about a really heady, innovative era of computing.The documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQymn5flcekAT&T's 1994 video for PersonaLink and "the Cloud": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbNrqe2IgSA1994 Wired story about General Magic: https://www.wired.com/1994/04/general-magic/ Support the Pod!

6 SEP. 2026 · We're back with another hodgepodge of user-submitted topics this week to clear out some of our backlog from the summer, leading us to talk about everything from uses for a PC's real-time-clock wake feature to domain hijacking and protecting your custom email address, the origins of the octothorpe, a very cool virtual operating system museum, and lots of stuff in between.The Virtual OS Museum: https://virtualosmuseum.org/ Support the Pod!

30 AGO. 2026 · The Q&A returns for August with a variety of topics including pet-related tech mishaps, the contentious multimeter pronunciation debate, arcade boards and Super NES expansion chips, the return of physical keyboard phones, and an accidental grip of AI-related questions about web-scraping statistics, podcasters putting on new vocal identities, cyberattacks on infrastructure, and the growing societal backlash that might (maybe) blunt all this at some point.

23 AGO. 2026 · It's been a while since we checked in on note-taking apps and ways to wrangle their data, and a lot has changed with our personal use cases on that front. Will has gone deep on Notion's relational capabilities and seen how well they can support a shared knowledge base for a team of a couple dozen people. Meanwhile, Brad has done a survey of apps targeted at the individual end user, with the goal of fully owning the data and controlling how and where it's synced. We round up everything we've discovered in this week's episode, with some detours into things like rclone cloud mounts, the amazing utility of the (nearly) universal format conversion tool pandoc, and more.
