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

Linus, Luke, and Michael dive headfirst into Valve’s latest hardware drop, unpacking the new Steam Controller, Steam Frame streaming box, Steam Machine specs, foveated streaming tech, hand-tracking demos, and how the Steam Deck stacks up price-wise against other handhelds. They also debate rechargeable NiMH versus disposables, Luke’s Bigscreen Beyond 2 regrets, and flashback to the Duke controller recall. In a special segment, Linus Torvalds pops by (virtually) to chat spam emails, fandom surprises, and the most consequential person he’s ever met.

After a rapid-fire sponsor rundown (holiday Vessi deals, Odoo trials, Corsair’s XENEON EDGE, Odd Pieces, dbrand, Dell, Secretlab, PIA VPN), the crew tackles Windows’ “agentic OS” future, Ubisoft’s surprise earnings delay, Google’s sideloading U-turn, an AI country star climbing the charts, Sony’s Japan-only PS5 and 240 Hz monitor, community-revived Nest support, RAM price spikes thanks to AI, Jack Dorsey’s Vine reboot, and a Russian AI robot that literally face-planted—plus laughs about braces colors, office cats, and sibling trolling.
