TL;DR: Linus and Luke kick off by unpacking last week’s monster AWS outage—thanks to a DNS snafu—that wiped out Twitch, Steam, Pokémon GO and more, all while they nostalgia-trip over past AWS rescues. From there they riff on Counter-Strike 2’s market-cap nosedive (and possible Chinese investor antics), a madcap proposal to power data centers with jet engines, Samsung’s AI-fueled Galaxy XR headset and the tantalizing future of neural interfaces.
They then blitz through a grab bag of tech oddities—SuperBox devices soft-locking users, OpenAI’s Atlas vs. Microsoft’s Mico, YouTube’s new AI impersonation detector, a bizarre police vs. Doritos incident, vision-restoring micro-implants, Microsoft demanding steeper Xbox margins, and plenty more geeky tangents—keeping it equal parts informative and entertaining.
