WAN Show October 24, 2025 TL;DR

Amazon’s massive AWS outage (DNS glitch, classic!) knocked out everything from Twitch to Steam’s Big Picture, reminding us how much we rely on cloud magic. CS2’s big update cratered its market cap to $3 billion—Chinese investors or pure market shenanigans? Meanwhile, someone’s dreaming up jet-engine-powered data centers (yes, really), and Samsung teased the AI-driven Galaxy XR headset while we debate if smart glasses and neural interfaces can ever catch on.

On the flip side, cheap SuperBox set-top boxes locked down devices, OpenAI’s Atlas and Microsoft’s Mico are flexing in robotics, and YouTube rolled out AI-face detection. In lighter but weirder news, police swarmed a student after AI mistook Doritos for a weapon, PRIMA’s eye implant is restoring vision, and Xbox devs are grumbling over Microsoft’s new 30% cut demand. Also: Trump just pulled the plug on Canada trade talks.
