Pixel Phones Finally Blowing Up – WAN Show Highlights

Linus and Luke kick things off with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold catching fire after a JRE teardown, sparking a broader chat on whether foldables justify their steep price tags, the classic iPhone vs. Android rivalry, and even how Discord got repurposed for voting in Nepal. They also muse on “working out when failing,” the quirks of AI overviews and share war stories about leaky condo units and split AC heads.

The show then zips through Capcom’s stubbornness on remasters (FF Tactics, Oblivion), HP quietly nuking legacy support docs, bizarre ChatGPT emoji breakdowns, the ethics of paying crypto ransoms, a secure-boot bypass hitting 200K Linux laptops, Apple’s M5 chip and Vision Pro 2 gossip, Bose killing off SoundTouch—and wraps up with rapid-fire takes on AI training opt-ins, home-lab advice, BBS nostalgia, Halloween tech plans and more.
