The video covers setting up a multi-drive array, dealing with drive shortages, networking basics (TailScale), and evaluating NAS software options, interwoven with sponsor segments (Squarespace) and reflections on backup philosophy and personal tech learning.
I’m Taking Credit For This - WAN Show April 3, 2026
WAN Show rounds up upbeat tech news—from RAM price shifts and AI memory techniques to space updates and Linux on the desktop—paired with a personal hardware migration story. The hosts blend industry chatter (Steam pricing, AMD/NVIDIA talk, AI safety) with hands-on experiences and behind-the-scenes notes on content strategy and a jet-related project, offering practical takeaways for everyday computing.
The Gamer Jet is Real! And it costs $0*
The video follows the reveal of buying a jet (Falcon 900B) after a humorous April Fools premise, including the due diligence, negotiations, and a family/uncle-led exploration of options. It dives into the costly refurbishments, 12-year service, safety considerations, and internal systems, while also sharing logistics for potential trips (Cabo, cross-continent flights) and light sponsor breaks about Delta Hub. The host reflects on the realities of ownership, maintenance, weight distribution, and the learning curve of operating a high-end aircraft, ending with a humorous cockpit tour and plans for future content.

Shopping in Korea’s Abandoned Tech Mall
The narrator travels to Yongan Electronics Market in search of a webcam and microphone for their WAN show, navigating a sprawling market with language barriers, inconsistent pricing, and suspect stock. After exploring multiple shops and detours, they cobble together a makeshift rig using a phone as a webcam and a modest mic, testing audio and video during setup, and end with a sponsor plug for Movate’s Mobius 60. Along the way, they comment on the market’s vibe, peripherally explore gadgets, and reflect on the feasibility of buying high-end gear in the area.
It’s Time to Leave Discord… Here is What to Pick Instead
The video explores Discord’s core strengths—voice, text channels, community, and usability—and tests how four main all‑in‑one replacements could cover those needs. It compares multiple alternatives (Steam Chat, Mumble, TeamSpeak, Slack, Matrix, Sto, Fluxer, Flux-like options) across trade‑offs such as latency, ease of use, privacy, self‑hosting, and cost, ultimately suggesting Steam Chat as the strongest single replacement with caveats about community support. It also hints that user preferences will drive which stack best fits each group, ending with a nod to sponsor content.
The Airline Killed His PC
A tech duo unboxes and diagnos es a damaged high end PC build centered on a 4090 GPU, documents chaotic assembly challenges, and experiments across Windows and Linux to get the system booting and stable, finishing with a hardware upgrade discussion and a sponsor plug.

There’s a new CPU maker.
The video introduces ARM’s AGI CPU prospect, highlighting a 136-core Neoverse V3 chip built on a 3nm process, with SMT and a fixed 6 GB/s per-core memory bandwidth designed for power efficiency and stable performance. It explores rack-level implications (30M cores per gigawatt, 36 kW rack, 300 W per AGI CPU), competing with x86 for AI workloads, ARM’s branding and business-model strategy, and the broader vision of software portability, system-level design, and future CPUs.
$1000 Gaming PC - Classic LTT Build Guide (2026)
The video documents a budget-friendly 1440p gaming PC build, starting with reintroducing a comeback stance and choosing a Core i5-12600K over AMD options due to platform constraints. It covers assembling the components (RAM, motherboard, cooler, PSU, SSD, case), wires, and cable management, then tests gaming performance on titles like Marathon and Resident Evil at various settings, and ends with pricing, upgrade paths, and sponsor integration for a budget-friendly phone plan. The overall message emphasizes getting solid performance for around $1,000 and the potential to upgrade components later.
