I’m Buying a Tech House – WAN Show October 3, 2025

Linus kicks things off by diving into the idea of buying a “tech house” packed with all the latest gadgets—talking sketch prices, ultimate upgrades (dishwashers that text you when they’re done), and whether housing is actually an investment or just a rabbit hole of maintenance. They even loop in Frank “The Snake” to chat rentals versus buying. Then comes the unexpected drama: Linus isn’t thrilled about Character AI creating an AI clone of him, sparking a debate about digital likenesses, privacy, and where to draw the line.

After that, the crew zips through a lightning round of hot news: Xbox Game Pass and Ultimate subscription price hikes, EA’s blockbuster $55 billion acquisition by Saudi Arabia’s PIF, Android’s new swappable buttons, Windows 10 EOL and paid security patches, OpenAI’s parental-control–focused “Sora,” and the perils of BNPL services like Klarna. They also touch on Asus’ ROG stuttering fix, PC Games Hardware’s 180-GPU benchmarks, the UK demanding Apple cloud backdoors, Skild AI’s limb-regrowing robot demo, remaster leak talk, and a grab bag of Linus & Luke’s takes on underrated tech, shipping vs. consistency, and more.
