On this week’s WAN Show, Linus and Luke dive into Amazon’s massive AWS outage that knocked out everything from game lobbies to streaming services, reminisce about AWS’s past saves (Pokémon GO, Twitch), then shift to Counter-Strike 2’s latest update wiping $3 billion off Valve’s market cap. They’re also geeking out over the idea of jet engines powering next-gen data centers, and unpacking Samsung’s Galaxy XR AI headset (plus the wild potential of neural interfaces).
Elsewhere there’s chatter about SuperBox devices bricking themselves, OpenAI’s Atlas vs. Microsoft’s Mico, YouTube’s new tool to flag AI-faked videos, a PRIMA implant restoring vision, and even a SWAT call after AI mistook a bag of Doritos for a weapon. Oh, and Microsoft still wants its 30 percent slice from every Xbox game. It’s a healthy mix of outages, AI chaos, and futuristic hardware.
