The Louvre Password Debacle & Security Deep Dive
Linus and Dan kick things off by revealing that the Louvre museum’s password was—brace yourself—“LOUVRE,” and use it as a springboard to talk two-factor auth, common-sense security policies, and why most breaches happen to accounts you’ve never even used. They then uncover Floatplane’s nasty bug that accidentally double-billed subscribers, debate the agony of slow bank transfers, and share airport nightmares—from over-weight electronics to China confiscating batteries over dodgy certifications. Plus, rant alert: YouTube’s paid-membership pop-ups and AI-driven channel takedowns get called out.
From Microsoft’s Bug Fix to Nvidia in Space
In hard news, Microsoft finally squashes its decade-old update-restart bug but still “needs more power” on the AI front, while Amazon sues Perplexity for poaching purchase data. Rumor has it Nvidia is eyeing space-bound servers, and AMD steps in to clear up the RDNA driver drama. Throw in talk of China’s thorium-powered container ships, reusable fabships, holiday merch drops, and Linus pondering Christmas albums, and you’ve got a whirlwind of tech gossip and off-the-wall tangents.
