On this episode of the WAN Show, Linus and Luke dive into Valve’s big hardware drop—covering the revamped Steam Controller, the Frame’s specs with foveated streaming and hand tracking, Steam Machines and a price-vs-console showdown, plus how the Steam Deck stacks up against the competition. They also debate rechargeable NiMH versus disposables, give their take on the Bigscreen Beyond 2 headset, and share hilarious behind-the-scenes tales of meeting Linux creator Linus Torvalds, sibling trolling in the office, Gaben’s yacht stories and more.
The conversation then skids through a whirlwind of tech headlines: Windows evolving into an “agentic OS,” Ubisoft’s earnings delay, Google backtracking on sideloading, an AI‐generated country chart-topper, Sony’s Japan-only budget PS5 and 240Hz monitor, community-revived Nest devices, RAM prices spiking from AI demand, Chinese buses hack-scares, Jack Dorsey’s Vine reboot plans, face-planting Russian robots and a host of quirky merch updates, office debates and random LMG antics.
