TL;DR

Linus and Luke kick things off by diving into Amazon AWS’s massive outage—turns out a DNS hiccup took down everything from Twitch to Steam’s Big Picture mode. They reminisce about AWS’s glory days (remember Pokémon GO?) before poking fun at Linus’s in-flight Wi-Fi woes. Then it’s onto gaming drama: CS2’s recent update tanked its market cap to $3 billion, prompting chat about possible market manipulation and why a real knife might beat a virtual one.

After that, they explore jet-engine–powered data centers (because why not?), Samsung’s AI-powered Galaxy XR headset, and whether smart glasses stand a chance. Other highlights include OpenAI’s Atlas vs. Microsoft’s Mico, YouTube’s new AI-deepfake detector, a school standoff over Doritos mistaken for a weapon, and a tiny PRIMA implant that could restore sight. They wrap up with industry news—Microsoft’s steep Xbox margins, PhoneArena’s retro coffee table book, and the eternal debate of “Should LTT become an ad agency?”
