What a week. So much exciting news to cover, including the extremely well-received new Intel Core Ultra desktop processors! Does sarcasm evident? Anyhow, we received them, too, but without a motherboard, so not much tested happened before this launch. No worries, we're getting a board, and have turned off our AI assistants. Or have we?

It was an AMD-heavy show last week, so how about an IntelCast? (Don't worry, there's a lot of non-Intel content - plus at least one of us is a card-carrying member of Team Red). So much (in)Security too: your air-gap is pathetic, Qualcomm zero-day, Linux malware, and DDoS to the max.
