Thanks, digidude512! Guernsey Post misdelivered my Gold Controller Plush and I don't know if they'll be able to get it back from where it went :(
 
Reply to digidude512
Reply @digidude512! Oh no! I'd certainly shoot a message over to @NickLMG on Twitter. I guess while you still can...
  Ryan Z
Thanks, Ryan Z! Hi linus, is there a reason why you don't have a black mouse pad? I would love to get a quality mouse pad from you but the northern lights clashes with my setup.
 
Reply to Ryan Z
Reply @Ryan Z! Doesn't really set us apart in an interesting way.
  Zack D
Thanks, Zack D! Please let us submit merch messages all week... Also when using dark mode in chrome the text is white, so I had to type this in notepad and then paste into the merch messge window
 
Reply to Zack D
Reply @Zack D! I'd get in contact with Floatplane and let them know you're having issues.
  James D
Thanks, James D! Any update on exclusive content for YT Subs? I only watch LTT on my TV so alternatively I'd be a day 1 sub if an Android TV/Apple TV app were released.
 
Reply to James D
Reply @James D! All out exclusive stuff goes on Floatplane!
  Zach v
Thanks, Zach v! Please spend at least 45 seconds trying to find a better name for the iPhone's notch gimmick than dynamic island

  JoshuaCarol
Thanks, JoshuaCarol! (Please do a German accent) Question for Mr. SkyWalker, If the roles were reversed, would you have hired Linus for LUKE TECH TIPS? And talking of Skywalker, you guy's thoughts on the new StarWar
  Bradly H
Thanks, Bradly H! Hey Linus, Any plans to make another mean comments video? The one back in 2021 with the team was hilarious.
 
Reply to Bradly H
Reply @Bradly H! Lots of new content coming like that for shorts.

Reply to Ryan N
Reply @Ryan N! Anything dealing with Human Resources is going to be a big big help.
  Stephen R
Thanks, Stephen R! On last weeks show, you made some comments about art not belongng within STEM. Id like to argue that at their highest levels, science and art are the same, and especially for children, strong
 
Reply to Stephen R
Reply @Stephen R! You're absolutely right. Science is art.
  Kevin N
Thanks, Kevin N! What advice would you give to a laid-off software engineer with no college education? Totally unrelated, but if you guys need a Shopify guy, hit me up ;)
 
Reply to Kevin N
Reply @Kevin N! Freelance time!
  Robin L
Thanks, Robin L! With the game audio attribution history rewrites happening in the industry, what do you think could be done to make sure artists get the credit they deserve?
 
Reply to Robin L
Reply @Robin L! This is one of todays topics!
  Matti V
Thanks, Matti V! In my opinion youtube/creators should provide a versions of videos without sponsor spots for youtube premium users. I would even be ok paying more for that option. What do you think.
 
Reply to Matti V
Reply @Matti V! We cut them for Floatplane.

Thanks, Marek S! Hello Linus and Luke, I really enjoyed the review of the Alienware monitor and I feel like its going to be my new monitor. Now I am interested what are your thoughts on headphones. Do you have some
 
Reply to Marek S
Reply @Marek S! Headphones are super complicated. I'd suggest looking at stuff in the $400 range as they give you the best bang for buck.
  Andrew W
Thanks, Andrew W! My roommate and I are smart-ifying the house and we were looking at smart or Alexa enabled smoke/carbon monoxide detectors. Any chance on a video reviewing some of the top options out there?
 
Reply to Andrew W
Reply @Andrew W! That is so unbelievably niche. It didn't even occur to me people would 10T those... Get something with an open source controller in it.

  Chris C
Thanks, Chris C! This order has been slow build but the final straw was fixing my computer last night and the screw falling off 6 times before I could fasten the gpu back in. Looking forward to your drivers strong magnet.
  Robert S
Thanks, Robert S! Hey LTTGang! Given the current state of the internet (read: cesspool), what does a "good" internet look like to you? Thanks for keeping it real.
 
Reply to Robert S
Reply @Robert S! Obscene quantities of moderation. Or just, destroy social media. Eternal September can not be stopped.

Reply @Ben P! Our hope is to test EVERYTHING
  William G
Thanks, William G! I found your channel in 2014 while building my first pc ever (Pentium G3258 @ 4.3Ghz). It pushed me full force into my love for tech and my life completely changed. I am now a cloud engineer. Thank yo
 
Reply to William G
Reply @William G! Blessed be the cloud engineers. You're doing beautiful work.
  Paige C
Thanks, Paige C! Has there been any consideration for having Labs test Thunderbolt docks? In my experience they're really useful but cause no end of headaches. Having a good resource to find data on them before a
 
Reply to Paige C
Reply @Paige C! We have a lot of issues with them too. I'm certainly there will be a category for them. Some of them are really honestly horrific.
  Ben D
Thanks, Ben D! Hi Linus and Luke, I am loving my LTT screwdriver. Do you have an update on the holster? Would really love a better way to carry it around. Thanks!
 
Reply to Ben D
Reply @Ben D! Hopefully soon! We're always working on getting stuff built.
  Scott M
Thanks, Scott M! The short circuit for Nreal Air AR glasses went up today, and its use as an external Steamdeck monitor was not covered. Can't wait to replace portable monitors with WIRED VR/AR (Wireless + VPN = no)
  Nathan R
Thanks, Nathan R! There has been an uptick in annotations on videos to correct information. I think that having a voiceover to correct information to ensure those who are visually impaired aren't disadvantaged. Any cha

Thanks, Anonymous! Hi guys! So happy to see you guys are having fun with the twitter tire fire, just wanting to know what plans or ideas do you have for this coming ltx? Hoping to maybe some first person rc cars!

Reply @Anonymous! Oh man it's all super secret. I'm certainly going to mention RC Cars to Chase. That sounds amazing.

Thanks, Anonymous! Backpack! Orange isn't the most mature of the colors. Any chance will get ulterior interior colors in the future? Perhaps blue or gray? I get that it's a brand color for LTT, alt in a business or office environment
 
Reply to Anonymous
Reply @Anonymous! I'm sure we'll start doing some alterations once the backpack enters into a long term item. I know we have a "special" version in the works I won't say anything else about. ;)
  Ali K
Thanks, Ali K! Still waiting for my Screwdriver and backpack, Love u guys , Are u planning on making a Pc Case in the future ?
 
Reply to ALi K
Reply @ALi K! No they are horrible products to make. So so so so expensive.
  Peter G
Thanks, Peter G! Hey guys, last show you mentioned STEM toys; as a grad student, STEAM, with art, is crucial as it prompts and teaches greater creativity within science and engineering. More science based art, more better!
  Josh C
Thanks, Josh C! Hey, So why did you decide to make the shaft for the screwdriver silver/metal when the LTT lanyard is black and its paint wears away over time??? Just something my brother and I noticed with ours.
 
Reply to Josh C
Reply @Josh C! Far far worse on something like a screw driver. It's Linus' baby at this point.

Thanks, Boris D! Any plans for LTT socks? PS: Taskmaster is hilarious, I binged it for a few weeks PS2: merch messages on mobile with black theme are with white text on white background, might want to sort it out
 
Reply to Boris D
Reply @Boris D! Socks would be amazing. Hard to find good blanks. Working on the white on white issues.
  Ninjastahr
Thanks, Ninjastahr! Got my LTT screwdriver and it's great, so it's time for all the bits! Any plans for a nice way to store the bits you aren't currently using, like in a case or belt or something? Because it'd be really helpful!
 
Reply to Ninjastahr
Reply @Ninjastahr! We're thinking about something right now yes.
  Justin P
Thanks, Justin P! Is there plans for a whale LAN party during the LTX next year? If it's to early to tell, then how about an update on how your cats are doing? There hasn't been an update on LinusCatTips channel for nearly a year.

Thanks, David G! Thanks, my little girl wanted a water bottle like Dad and Mom. My question, as the friend who ends up being the IT guy. Is there a source or a video somewhere to help tell friends why certain games are harder
