On this episode of The Full Nerd

In this episode of The Full Nerd, Adam Patrick Murray, Alaina Yee, Michael Crider, and horizontals-and-verticals-handler Glenn Mah wade deep into speak about Sport Move on Linux and Noctua’s warning that your case’s cooler-size tolerance might be lies (or at the very least very unfastened manufacturing tolerances), earlier than dropping some key Full Nerd lore for the way forward for the present within the Q&A bit.

However the very best a part of the present comes to start with, when Adam and Alaina focus on the outcomes of a charity drive they’ve helped set up at a neighborhood San Francisco flea market in honor of Gordon Mah Ung, our departed and beloved Full Nerd cofounder.

Between what we rounded up within the workplace and a few insanely beneficiant contributions from the broader business, Adam and crew managed to lift an astounding $13,500+ for TechExchange, a neighborhood Oakland charity that gives computer systems and digital entry to underserved communities within the Bay Space. Mixed with what they made the month prior, we’re speaking at the very least $18,000, with much more flowing by way of direct donations to this very worthwhile trigger.

It was a blast seeing everyone present up and nerd out. Shout-out to Adam, Alaina, former TFN-er Will Smith, PCWorld amenities supervisor Luis Ibarra, and Glenn Mah — Gordon’s son — for serving to to make this all occur. This was a grassroots marketing campaign that had nothing to do with PCWorld correct — not one of the cash flows by way of us, it’s all going straight to TechExchange — and it couldn’t have occurred with out everybody throwing of their private time, effort, and kit collections.
