Summary

We've got a two-fer this week, with a pair of topics that might not have filled a whole ep on their own but turn out to be two great podcast tastes that, uh, taste great together... anyway, first we talk about the benchmark Will is currently creating in Unreal Engine to push CPUs and GPUs in a game development context, and then we check in on how the grand unification of smart home devices is coming along with the new Matter and Thread standards, now that products have been on the market for a year or so. There's definitely just one standard now, right? ...Right? Support the Pod!

0:39.4	Oh, that's why it's so damn dusty around here.
0:41.5	Yeah, well, plus we live places where there's a lot of cars.
0:43.8	So like urban places are dusty because of all the cars.
0:46.0	Which is, I'm sure, great for us too.
0:48.5	And we live close to the water.
