0:00.0	Welcome to the WAN show, ladies and gentlemen. We've got a fantastic show for you today because
0:11.2	boy, is it ever easier to have a fun and exciting WAN show when we've got news like this
0:18.2	week? The Valve Steam Deck is the hot shit right now and everyone's talking about it and
0:26.2	why not? Because this thing is flippant excited. So we're going to dig into that. We're also going
0:32.6	to be talking about TSMC exploring on chip water cooling. This is something enthusiasts have
0:40.3	explored at times in the past, but it's certainly to my knowledge never been looked at by someone

2:01.2	take. This is the worst thing about it. The name. It's terrible. It's terrible. It's terrible. The
2:08.9	stream deck has existed for years. Yes. For years, the Elgato stream deck, which is even a gaming
2:17.9	device. For years, it's existed. It's been in the market. And it's the only thing that kind of
2:24.0	sounds like that is external to the computer and technically has screens on it and is flat.
