Pixel Phones Finally Blowing Up – WAN Show October 17, 2025

Linus and Luke kick off with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold literally going up in flames, sparking a broader chat about pricey foldables vs. iPhones, Discord voting in Nepal, and why devs like Capcom aren’t keen on remasters (FF Tactics vs. Oblivion, anyone?). They also gripe about HP yanking legacy support docs, Philips’ abandoned “Fixables” PR stunt, and clear the air on their Xbox ROG Ally X review drama.

After a sponsor marathon, they tackle Microsoft’s forced Windows 11 online login, bizarre ChatGPT emoji meltdowns, banning paid crypto ransoms, a secure-boot bypass affecting hundreds of thousands of Linux laptops, and preview Apple’s M5 chip with Vision Pro 2. Toss in Bose dumping SoundTouch products, LTT Store merch updates, upcoming cables and screensavers, plus a rapid-fire fan Q&A on everything from folding phones to home-lab Windows AD.
