Podcast #813 - Radeon RX 9070 Series Review, RTX 5070 Review, all Pricing and Availability, 12VHPWR, and HL3 of course

The most anticipated graphics card launch in many a year is upon us, and of course the story has become pricing and availability yet again (unless you live in one of the 19 States that Microcenter occupies).  Also more 12VHPWR monitoring options, Firefox terms of use change for worse probably, and some Half Life 3 rumors. Still.
