TL;DR

Linus and the WAN crew kick things off by poking fun at the Louvre museum’s top-secret password—yes, it was literally “LOUVRE”—then dive into the perils of one-size-fits-all security, 2FA gripes and a Floatplane billing bug that accidentally double-charged subscribers. Travel woes abound as Linus recounts airport baggage battles (and China confiscating his batteries for lack of CCC certification), followed by rants about YouTube’s sneaky paid-membership pop-up ads, AI-powered channel sweeps and a laugh-worthy Microsoft Teams scheduling glitch.

They also touch on links in unexpected places: Starlink’s Apple Watch beta, the UK parliament’s “Stop Killing Games” debate, phone fandom over the Red Magic 11 and Linus’s dream Note upgrade. You’ll hear about Microsoft finally fixing that decade-old restart bug, China’s thorium-powered container ship, Nvidia servers headed to space, Amazon suing an AI startup, AMD’s RDNA driver saga and a smorgasbord of holiday merch drops and fan Q&A highlights.
