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

Linus and Luke kick things off with a deep dive into Valve’s new gear (Steam Controller, Machine & Frame), foveated streaming demos, hand‐tracking tech, and a heated NiMH vs. disposable battery debate. They regret (or don’t) their time with the Bigscreen Beyond 2, compare Steam Deck pricing to rivals, test random USB‐CEC adapters, and even unpack confusing naming schemes—plus the usual sponsor shout-outs (Vessi, Odoo, Corsair, Odd Pieces, dbrand, Dell, Secretlab, PIA VPN).

Mid-show, Linus recounts his email adventures with Linux creator Linus Torvalds (including some playful trolling), then zooms out to big industry news: Windows’ “agentic OS” future, Ubisoft’s surprise earnings delay, Google’s sideloading backtrack, Jack Dorsey’s Vine revival, an AI “artist” topping country charts, Sony’s budget PS5 in Japan, a community-revived Nest EOL hack, RAM shortages fueling AI demand, a Russian AI robot faceplant, and more. They cap it off with chats on digital hygiene, VR mode dreams, brand awards, merch messages, and the eternal sibling rivalry banter.
