WAN Show Highlights – October 24, 2025

Linus and Luke kick off with the disastrous AWS outage that took down everything from Twitch to Pokemon GO, all traced back to a DNS hiccup (and even Linus’s Wi-Fi woes mid-flight). They revisit past Amazon meltdowns, then pivot to CS2’s latest update that tanked Valve’s market cap by billions, unpacking whether Chinese investors are stirring up market manipulation—and debating why a real knife might beat any virtual one.

Next, they marvel at using jet engines to power data centers, weigh Samsung’s new AI-powered Galaxy XR headset against the future of smart glasses and neural interfaces, and giggle over AI gone wild—from YouTube’s new likeness detector to cops mistaking Doritos for a weapon. Toss in a look at PRIMA’s vision-restoring implant, Microsoft’s Xbox margin demands, plus listener questions and off-the-wall banter, and you’ve got another epic WAN Show ride.
