TL;DR

Linus kicks off the show by revealing that the Louvre’s security team used “LOUVRE” as their password, sparking a larger chat about basic security blunders and the value of two‐factor auth. They then dive into a bug that caused Floatplane to multi‐charge users, Linus’s recent airport woes (overweight bags, confiscated batteries and CA/Civil Aviation drama), and the rise of annoying YouTube paid-membership pop-up ads.

The crew also tackles a whirlwind of tech news: Microsoft finally squashing its update-restart bug, Amazon suing AI-bot Perplexity for making fake purchases, Nvidia planning server kits for space, China’s thorium-powered container ship, and AMD’s RDNA driver dust-up. Sprinkle in random tangents—AI hardware dreams, holiday merch drops, and Linus’s secret Santa antics—and you’ve got a classic chaotic WAN Show.
