Why are tech channels bleeding viewers? Linus and Luke dig into the “adpocalypse” effect—adblockers, YouTube’s restricted mode and shifty algorithm tweaks are quietly starving channels of views (and ad dollars). They riff on telemetry data, sponsor woes, mortgage search rabbit holes and whether we’re all partly to blame for “not perpetuating” eyeballs in the first place.
On the news front, Nvidia just dropped $5 billion into Intel’s AI fabs (hello, Intel chips with RTX!), AMD’s sweating bullets over Arc B580 bundles, and China slapped a GPU-buying ban on its own tech firms. They also test-drive Windows’ secret handheld gaming mode, speculate on Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses, giggle over a giant 3D-printed Linus screwdriver, and dive into everything from AI pets to Twitch age checks, gaming petitions in parliament and the eternal RISC-V vs. x86 showdown.
