S9E08 – IoT Botnet Brings Down Important Websites, Republicans Get Scammed By Russians

This week on the Computer Guru Show, Mike and crew discuss AMD's new offering, called Threadripper, as well as the lawsuit coming down on Travis Kalanick, malware encoded in DNA, and more. Plus, as always, your calls and questions!

This week on the Computer Guru Show, Mike and Tara talk the new holographic phone by Red, as well as Google's apparent hypocrisy in removing the headphone jack from the Pixel 2. Also up for discussion are human DNA edits using CRISPR, the arrest of Marcus Hutchins (MalwareTech), and more.

This week we're not in the studio (sorry!), but we put together a compilation of some of our favorite calls, discussions, and rant segments from the last few years of the Computer Guru Show. We hope you enjoy it, and we'll be back next week!

On this week's episode, Mike and Tara ponder the so-called "Mandela Effect", what a world with robot lawyers could be like, and a man who trained a chat bot to take over for his father after he died.
