That IT show

Recording a podcast should be simple. Two microphones, two people, one conversation. Unless, of course, Windows 11 is involved. In this episode, what was supposed to be a perfectly normal recording session turns into three attempts, unexpected troubleshooting, increasingly creative vocabulary, and a practical demonstration of why operating systems sometimes deserve their own swear jar. Jasmin’s Windows 11 machine, naturally, works SUPERBLY™ — provided your definition of “superbly” includes making us record the same podcast three times. Somewhere along the way, Linux enters the conversation, Windows gets the appreciation it richly deserves, and an episode about technology becomes an episode about surviving technology. Welcome to modern computing.

Sun, sea, boats… and IT. In this special summer edition of ThatITShow, we prove that technology doesn’t stop just because someone is on vacation. Jasmin joins us straight from the seaside—with blue water, boats, and a considerably better background than the rest of us—while we catch up for a short, relaxed episode. No studio, no corporate backdrop, and definitely no attempt to pretend that summer isn’t happening. Just a quick dose of ThatITShow, almost no IT talk, a short conversation, and one co-host who clearly understood the assignment when it came to choosing his remote-work location. Grab a coffee, a cold drink, or whatever suits your summer mood, and join us for a few minutes of technology with an Adriatic view.

Network and datacenter migrations look straightforward on architecture diagrams—until someone has to disconnect the first cable. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the controlled chaos of relocating infrastructure, redesigning power, untangling years of creative cabling, and somehow keeping the business online while everything underneath it changes. From redundant power feeds and network cutovers to unexpected surprises hiding in server racks, we share real-world stories, lessons learned, spectacular near misses, and the occasional questionable decision that somehow worked. Whether you're planning a migration or simply enjoy hearing about large-scale IT projects flirting with disaster, join us for a technical, honest, and humorous look at the art of unplugging things without crying.

Jasmin went to a ham radio fair in Germany and returned with stories of antennas, radios, transceivers, cables, connectors, frequencies, and other objects that apparently deserve emotional attachment. In this episode, he bravely explains the mysteries of amateur radio while the rest of us pretend to understand, nod politely, and slowly lose the will to ask follow-up questions. Expect passion, technical details, questionable excitement about hardware, and enough antenna talk to make 3.5 MHz feel like a lifestyle choice. Somehow, it is informative. Unfortunately, it is also Jasmin.

We'll keep it short this time - in this shorter episode (35 degrees while recording), Jasmin rambles about electronics and his small gadgets... a bit.

NVIDIA calls it the RTX Spark. Some call it a portable AI supercomputer. We call it a perfectly reasonable excuse to spend an hour wandering through completely unrelated topics. In this episode, we take a look at one of the most powerful AI-focused laptops currently available, discuss what it can actually do, and ask the important question: does anyone really need this much computing power on their desk? Along the way, we dive into programming experiments, development workflows, AI tooling, hardware realities, and several detours that absolutely nobody planned for. The result is a classic technology podcast experience: a cutting-edge piece of hardware, a handful of code, a collection of opinions, and a conversation that somehow ends up everywhere except where it started. Fast hardware, questionable focus, and plenty of geeky discussion guaranteed.

Today’s episode is dedicated to one of the greatest technological achievements of the modern era: running an AI model on a CPU because GPUs now cost approximately the same as a midsize apartment in Zagreb. We discuss the breathtaking experience of waiting 14 minutes for a response that confidently explains facts that never existed, cites imaginary research papers, and occasionally forgets what year it is. Naturally, this leads us into the philosophical debate of whether an AI that takes half an hour to answer is actually “thinking” or just emotionally processing its own poor life choices. From thermal throttling and swap-file abuse to hallucinations so convincing they deserve political office, this episode is a beautiful monument to patience, bad decisions, and the unstoppable human urge to run enterprise AI on hardware rescued from a student lab.

Welcome to The datacenter will be ready right after the roundabout, the only podcast brave enough to ask the important questions: can a hyperscale datacenter survive Croatian paperwork, three ministries, two environmental studies, and a mayor who still thinks “cloud” means rain? In this episode, we dive into the glorious collision of AI ambitions, megawatt fantasies, land permits, power grid realities, and the sacred regional tradition of discussing infrastructure projects for roughly twelve years before pouring a single cubic meter of concrete. We talk cooling, fiber, geopolitics, NIMBYism, diesel generators the size of apartment buildings, and the magical belief that “digital transformation” somehow works without electricity. The future is here — just as soon as somebody finishes the access road.
