@morisbayar tweets: "What do you think about Dolby Atmos 5.1.4 at home? Is it worth to spend thousands of $ and upgrade from 7.1? Regards.
Kathleen asked: Does it make any sense to build desktops anymore, or is it now cheaper to just buy one?
John asks: Hi, it’s great seeing you guys back on Tekthing! In light of your new support model through Patreon, it would be interesting to learn more details about it, as well as how other tech shows and sites (Cnet, TWIT, etc.) are supported and how each support model works. Thanks for putting on (and continuing!) one of the best tech shows out there.
Do something analog! Like checking out the Spy Museum in Washington DC!
