64 – The Eric Strikes Back

In this lively episode of Linux OTC, we kick off with some unexpected technical hiccups when Majid’s audio takes a turn for the bizarre, sparking a spirited debate about the causes. As we navigate through the audio chaos, the conversation shifts to the fascinating evolution of smartphones, exploring how they’ve transformed our daily lives.

Later, we dive into the intricacies of Arch Linux and debate the merits and pitfalls of using the AUR (Arch User Repository). Battery life also makes a brief appearance as we share tips and experiences to help listeners maximize their device’s endurance.

Amidst the tech talk, one amusing cultural meme—“67”—keeps making its way back into the conversation, adding a humorous twist to our discussions. Join us for a blend of tech insights, friendly banter, and plenty of laughs!

59 – Sponsored By Cosmic OTC

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. We went ahead and added it to the end after the outro as a bit of “Bonus” content. All this and way more!
