In this week’s WAN Show, Linus and Luke dig into Amazon’s massive AWS outage—blaming a DNS hiccup that took down everything from Twitch to Steam—and chat about Valve’s CS2 update wiping billions off its market cap. They also marvel at the absurdity of jet engines powering AI data centers and geek out over Samsung’s AI-powered Galaxy XR headset, debating whether smart glasses (or neural interfaces!) have a shot at reaching mainstream.
Beyond the big headlines, the duo covers a wild mix of tech oddities: SuperBox-branded devices soft-locking buyers, OpenAI’s Atlas vs. Microsoft’s Mico showdown, YouTube’s new AI-video detector, and a surreal police response after Doritos were mistaken for a weapon. Throw in a vision-restoring implant, Microsoft’s harsh 30% Xbox dev cut, and a rapid-fire Q&A on everything from “dumbest Linus move” to phone-addiction solutions, and you’ve got a jam-packed, unpredictable ride.
