WAN Show October 24, 2025 TL;DR

Linus and Luke kick things off with a deep dive into Amazon Web Services’ major DNS outage that knocked Twitch, Steam’s Big Picture mode, and dozens of other platforms offline. They reminisce about AWS stepping in for Pokémon GO, troubleshoot Linus’s in-flight Wi-Fi woes, and laugh over the oddball services that went dark.

The conversation then veers into Valve territory as CS2’s update mishap slashed the company’s market cap, followed by an eye-opening segment on jet engines powering data centers. They demo Samsung’s AI-driven Galaxy XR headset, speculate on neural interfaces, and chat through a grab bag of news—from vision-restoring implants and AI-detection tools to cops mistaking Doritos for weapons—topped off with Q&A, Japanese fab-tour stories, and the usual sponsor shout-outs.
