BNOTECHCAST Episode 13: Has it been one year already?

Bastian Noffer's TECHCASTI started this podcast on February 20th 2021 and the recording of this episode took place exactly one year later live on stream. I added a bit of a AMA at the end of the news items that are discussed as part of this episode. Since there was only one week between the recording of this episode and the previous one there are only a few topics to discuss and a lot of follow-up.

Topics:

  • Steam Deck replacement parts
  • Apple’s custom SSDs very slow
  • Microsoft used the situation at Activision Blizzard
  • Simula One drops plans for Kickstarter
  • AMA “ask me anything”

The edited version will be available via Spreaker in Audio format and Video later on Odysee. The podcast will be availible again at 8:30 pm CET.

BNOTECHCAST Live this Sunday February 20th – 1 year #anniversary edition with #AMA

One year ago the journey for “Bastian Noffer’s TECHCAST” started with the first episode. Back then the podcast was a pre-recorded format which I changed to a live recording back in November. I am proud to say that one year after starting the Podcast I am not only continuing it, but keeping my two week release schedule for the audio version of the podcast.

Since there were no contributions for the AMA portion of todays show I will revisit some topics of the old episodes, since there are quite a few new people following the show now and probably not all of you have watched or listened to the old episodes. However I will be taking questions from chat spontainiously. Nevertheless here is our topic list for today:

  • AMA “ask me anything”
  • Steam Deck replacement parts
  • Apple’s custom SSDs very slow
  • Microsoft and Activision Blizzard
  • Simula One drops plans for Kickstarter

We will go live today at 4 pm CET over on Twitch and on Youtube. The audio version of todays recording will hit your favorite podcast platform next Sunday right in line of the publishing schedule. The edited video version will probably hit Odysee at some time this week.

I am now a Pimax affiliate – and they have a pretty good deal right now … #pimax #vr

For those watching my VR streams you might know that I am using a Pimax 5K Super VR Headset. I bought it last year to replace my Oculus Rift S which had tracking issues in my well lit living room. I initially wanted to get the Valve Index, although it was not availible at the time and Pimax had a VR 2.0 upgrade promotion where you had to send in proof that you own another VR headset.

While checking their website a few days ago I noticed that they have a affiliate program going and I decided to join up. Support experience for me with Pimax was good and it has now been almost a year using it and I can not report a bad experience. So I don’t have an issue with promoting them.

With the new comfort headsets the Pimax headsets are comfortable to wear and also audio is pretty good. I can not compare it to the Index though, since I never used one. I upgraded my 5K Super to the KDMAS Earphones and the upgrade was worth it.

At the moment Pimax also has a promotion going with high rebates and a full trade-in program for their upcoming 12K standalone headset that is coming out late this year (if the chip shortages don’t delay it 😉 ).

If you are interested in the 5K Super, that i use, use this Link.

In case you are interested in the 8K X use this Link instead.

When buying through one of these links I am getting a small kickback for the referral.

Feel free to hit me up with questions either here in the comments, on Stream, on Twitter or on Discord.
