WAN Show October 17, 2025 – Quick & Dirty

Linus and the crew kick off with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold literally catching fire and debate whether foldables are worth the premium, segueing into a chat about Discord-powered voting in Nepal and why AI overviews just don’t cut it for them. They dive into why Capcom refuses remasters, HP’s surprise removal of legacy support docs, Philips’ abandoned “Fixables” concept, Microsoft’s push for mandatory Windows 11 online logins, and even a hilarious ChatGPT meltdown over a horse emoji. There’s also a security scare around a secure-boot bypass on 200K Linux Framework laptops.

On the hardware side, Apple’s M5 chip and Vision Pro 2nd gen get a preview, Bose quietly shutters SoundTouch, and the team teases new LTT cables (dropping before Black Friday). Toss in a whirlwind Q&A—from LAN switch debates to frugal Halloween costume ideas—plus loads of sponsor plugs, and you’ve got another jam-packed episode.
