WAN Show October 3, 2025 TL;DR

Linus and Luke kick off the episode plotting their dream “tech house”—from sketching cooling systems and dishwashers to debating whether housing is an investment (or if rentals make more sense)—with a surprise call-in from Frank The Snake. They then get into a heated riff on Character AI cloning Linus, hashing out why an AI-version of yourself is more creepy than cool.

After that, they sprint through the week’s biggest headlines: Xbox’s subscription price jump, Saudi Arabia’s $55 billion buyout of EA, and whether Game Pass still delivers bang for your buck. Add in a face-off between the Asus ROG Ally and its rivals, Windows 10’s end-of-life drama, OpenAI’s new Sora demo, buy-now-pay-later pitfalls with Klarna, plus rapid-fire Q&A on GPU benchmarks, Calyos cases, Apple Watches for kids, and more.
