The Louvre’s Password Was ‘LOUVRE’ kicks off this week’s WAN Show with Linus marveling at one of the simplest security fails ever, sparking a broader chat about 2FA, common-sense password policies, and the agony of snail-paced bank transfers. They also unpack a Floatplane bug that accidentally double-charges subscribers, Linus’s airport nightmare involving confiscated batteries and over-weight carry-ons, plus the madness of YouTube’s new paid-member pop-ups and AI-driven channel takedowns.
After that, it’s lightning-fast coverage of Amazon’s lawsuit against Perplexity, Nvidia planning server rigs in space, Microsoft finally squashing a decade-old update-restart bug (while still chasing more AI horsepower), China’s experimental thorium container ship, and the UK’s “Stop Killing Games” debate. Sprinkle in AMD’s RDNA driver dust-up, secret holiday merch drops, and sponsor shout-outs for Squarespace, AMD, and UGREEN, and you’ve got another jam-packed, slightly chaotic WAN Show.
