WAN Show Highlights (September 26, 2025)

Linus and the gang kick things off with Amazon getting hit by a $2.5 billion FTC settlement over deliberately tricky Prime cancellations. From there, they unpack Microsoft’s big move to spin Teams out of Office, dig into AI-powered cooling for chip accelerators (including SFU’s fancy supercomputer), and even marvel at direct liquid cooling breakthroughs that could shake up the data-center game.

Beyond the headlines, they chat merchandise drops (tall shirts, defrag sale), mull over a potential Android PC and AI/Chrome OS mash-up, test-drive Toyota’s PHEV “charging game,” and laugh at SpamGPT—an AI that spams back at your spam. Oh, and there’s talk of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 Elite, an AI pop star signing a record deal, Steam yanking a scammy blockchain game, Synology killing hardware transcoding, and plenty of geeky tangents on UI fails, message-sync woes, and LAN prep.
