Amazon’s AWS Outage Wrecks the Web
In the Oct. 24 WAN Show, Linus and Luke start by unpacking Amazon’s massive AWS DNS failure that knocked out Twitch, parts of Steam and Pokémon GO, and sent services scrambling. They then cover Counter-Strike 2’s market-cap nosedive after a buggy update, brainstorm why someone would power data centers with jet engines, and debate the future of AR with Samsung’s new AI-driven Galaxy XR headset (plus a tangent on neural interfaces).
From AI Mishaps to Vision-Restoring Implants
Later they dive into OpenAI’s Atlas vs. Microsoft’s Mico, YouTube’s new tool to spot deepfake videos, and a bizarre police call when AI mistook Doritos for a weapon. Toss in a peek at PRIMA’s tiny vision-restoring implant, Microsoft demanding a 30% cut from Xbox devs, hardware tours in Japan, and more random gaming and LTT-store updates for a classic WAN Show rollercoaster.
