TL;DR WAN Show – November 7, 2025

Linus kicks things off revealing that the Louvre museum’s internal password was literally “LOUVRE,” sparking a chat about basic security fails, 2FA and why most accounts “don’t matter” beyond common-sense policies. From there we zip through a Floatplane bug that double-billed subscribers, Linus’s epic airport baggage saga (yes, batteries confiscated), YouTube’s new paid-membership pop-ups, and Microsoft finally squashing its decade-old update-restart bug. There’s also talk of Amazon suing AI startup Perplexity over purchase data, NVIDIA planning to send servers to space, China’s Thorium-powered container ship, and whether current AI investments are even sustainable.

On the lighter side: holiday deals from Rove Lab, sponsor shout-outs (Squarespace, AMD, dbrand, Secretlab, UGREEN), smartphone and gaming-gear wishlists, cloud-storage rumors, and a smorgasbord of Q&A banter covering everything from “treat yourself” parenting moments to backpack magnetic chest straps, favorite Bob’s Burgers characters, and Linus’s ongoing braces journey.
