Amazon Owes Us $2.5 Billion – WAN Show September 26, 2025 TL;DR

In this episode Linus and the crew unpack Amazon’s $2.5 billion FTC settlement for making Prime cancellations a nightmare, then shift to Microsoft’s big moves—spinning Teams out of Office and using AI-powered cooling to keep chip hot spots in check (complete with direct liquid cooling on SFU’s supercomputer). They also preview Google’s upcoming Android PC, and cover side stories like Toyota’s PHEV charging game app, SpamGPT (a bot that replies to spam), Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X2 Elite, an AI performer landing a record deal, Steam removing a scammy title, and Synology cutting hardware transcoding on some NAS models.

Between headlines there’s plenty of classic WAN Show banter—Apple migration woes, multi-device sign-in quirks, AirPods support horror stories, plus gear talk (ROG Flow X13, Whale LAN prep, UI facepalm moments) and listener mail about everything from VR LAN ideas to water-cooling tube updates. It’s tech news and geek chat at full throttle.
