Linus and Luke kick things off by tearing into Valve’s latest gadgets—the revamped Steam Controller, Machine and Frame—while hashing out hand-tracking, foveated streaming and the eternal NiMH vs. disposable battery showdown. They compare Steam Deck pricing to other handhelds, debate Luke’s buyer’s remorse over the Bigscreen Beyond 2, and share the wild behind-the-scenes of meeting Linux legend Linus Torvalds (including yacht gossip and sibling trolling).

Next up: tech news bingo! Microsoft’s vision of an “agentic” Windows gets a deep dive, Ubisoft pulls a surprise earnings delay, Google does a U-turn on Android sideloading, and Sony teases a Japan-only PS5 deal plus a 240Hz monitor.
