The Hardest Secrets I’ve Ever Kept – WAN Show Nov 14, 2025

Linus and Luke kick things off dissecting Valve’s newest hardware drop – the revamped Steam Controller, Steam Machine specs, the mysterious Steam Frame with foveated streaming and hand-tracking, plus a side quest on rechargeable NiMH batteries versus disposables and Steam Deck’s price wars. Then they dive into the epic story of meeting Linux Linus (Torvalds), from rapid-fire email replies to yacht rumors, spam battles, sibling rivalry antics, and backstage collab clips that left Luke both thrilled and ticked off.

Beyond the hardware hype and secret-keeping confessions, they whirlwind through hot takes on Windows evolving into an “agentic OS,” Ubisoft’s earnings delay, Google’s sideload policy U-turn, AI country music chart-toppers, a Japan-exclusive PS5 deal, Sony’s 240Hz monitor, AI-driven bus hacks in China, community-revived Nest gear, AI-fueled RAM price surges, Russian robot fails, Jack Dorsey’s Vine reboot and the evolution of short clips, all spiced up with braces talk, merch shoutouts, and classic WAN Show banter.
