  Frederick M
Thanks, Frederick M! Hey y'all! Love the WAN show, been watching for years now! Have you seen the recent 3CX security issue with a malware in their app? The company's response has been criticized a lot.
  Joseph M
Thanks, Joseph M! Floatplane members should have their own Christmas Album submissions (to be curated and compiled by LTT faculty) and have a FP exclusive stream of Linus reacting to Christmas album 2.0

Thanks, Chance T! Hey guys love the content I'm going to bed now. I'll be watching while at work tomorrow though.
  Tirth P
Thanks, Tirth P! Luke, I am training a ~GPT answering AI on WAN Show transcripts, no promises... Linus, will management take criticism/suggestions mentioned in "What is it like to work for Linus?" by employees?
  Daminico W
Thanks, Daminico W! Hey Linus, Luke, and Dan. I wonder as you guys grow and get larger. Would there be a point where you outsource work? Ex. Using a call center for customer service.
  Michael W
Thanks, Michael W! Hello WAN Show! Is there an ETA on a screwdriver spare bit holder, and a restock for bit collections? Thanks for making my daily commute bearable!

Thanks, Jeremy B! 41-year-old sysadmin, should I invest time in advanced coding amidst AI advancements or rely on my abilities to use these tools for new job opportunities?
  Henry M
Thanks, Henry M! Linus, are you ever hire someone for research/expertise similar to Mac address is to Apple a channel dedicated to audio, DACS, amps, ect? In Fiio m15 review I can tell you didn't know a lot about that
 
Reply to Henry M
Reply @Henry M! It's certainly been on our minds. Audio is very hard to talk about in general. Maybe as we grow.
  Conner S
Thanks, Conner S! Hey guys! Finally got a merch message, do you read the reviews on lttstore often? It gave me a chuckle to get the most upvoted underwear review for a bit recently :D. Also got a backpack earlier today!
 
Reply to Conner S
Reply @Conner S! Yes! Loads from CW and Linus love to see what people are saying.

Thanks, nathan k! Hey, your brother Sinus here. Not sure why I have to buy gift cards to ask you questions, brother, but here we are: when are you bringing secret shopper and scrapyard wars back with proxies?
  Andrew M
Thanks, Andrew M! Hey Dan - are the LTT cable ties long enough to use on XLR or other larger/longer cables? Any chance to see a variety pack so that we can color code according to cable length? Thanks for the show!
 
Reply to Andrew M
Reply @Andrew M! They do fit nice around a 50. Anything larger and sometimes I've used two. But they are about the same as other brands. At least long ones. I'll forward your question to the team!

Thanks, Anonymous! Congress considering a 32hour work week bill. I do scheduling for a major company, it'll be growing pains at worst for me. But I worry about how smaller businesses with less payroll will manage. Thoughts?
 
Reply to Anonymous
Reply @Anonymous! Certainly will require a lot more staff. Going to be an obscene shift. I've heard the 4 day work week thrown around, but it's still 40 hours a week.
  Josh D
Thanks, Josh D! As LTT grows, any plans to expand your machining capabilities beyond just rapid prototyping and creating video content? Any plans to manufacture your own future LTT Store gear?

Thanks, Jonathan K! Hey Linus(?) Luke and Dan (mainly Luke), what code editor do you use and how would you like to see a native ai integration into code editors implemented?
 
Reply to Jonathan K
Reply @Jonathan K! At this point Visual Studio Code is just superior to most code editors, and there are things like Github Copilot or Amazon CodeWhisperer that work in all of them that are great

  Erik H
Thanks, Erik H! Hi!
  Jacob M
Thanks, Jacob M! Training with VR seems to be taking off. The US Airforce is using VR heavily in pilot training (This is where i work), and other branches are following. Will the commercial side push VR development?
 
Reply to Jacob M
Reply @Jacob M! I think we see development come from that direction, but sometimes it can be more marketing related. Our hope is that they need a specific kind of headset, that we'll get.
  Robert H
Thanks, Robert H! I own a small one person electronics repair shop inspired by y'all. Do you any third party antivirus software for your personal computers? Do you think the average joe needs more than Windows Defend
 
Reply to Robert H
Reply @Robert H! Windows Defender works for me at home. At work we use SentinelOne.
  Eric P
Thanks, Eric P! Hi, any thoughts on a "supplementary" bit set for the screwdriver with a mix of popular bits not included in the standard set. i.e. TR10/15/20/25, H3, PH3, SQ3, and maybe more hex bits or a spare PH2.
 
Reply to Eric P
Reply @Eric P! Great idea! I'll forward this over to the CW team.
  Timothy R
Thanks, Timothy R! Will there be more exclusive water bottle designs like Uncle linus?

  William K
Thanks, William K! Hi Linus, Luke and Dan! I'm a part of my highschool AV team, and I was wondering if you would ever consider covering AV/theatre tech such as soundboards, lightboards, stage mics, etc. Love the show!
 
Reply to William K
Reply @William K! I absolutely love that stuff too. I'd love to see more of it, but it can be a little niche for our audience. GrandMA3 system please. :O
  Brandon S

Reply to Brandon S
Reply @Brandon S! They will be SOON :D
  Nick R
Thanks, Nick R! Hey guys, wondering if you guys ever plan to do content on more niche tech devices like artists tablets? Wondering if Wacom truly deserves to be on top or if the competitors have really closed in.
 
Reply to Nick R
Reply @Nick R! It can be pretty hard getting content out with the more niche stuff sadly. Maybe if something really nutty comes out. I've noticed the competition has gotten so good recently too.
  David T
Thanks, David T! Hi Linus/Luke/Dan, what area of consumer hardware do you think is most underutilized by the average person?
 
Reply to David T
Reply @David T! Automated home based routines. Like a Google assistant scheduled like, everything.
  Bryson T
Thanks, Bryson T! Cyberpunk 2077 just released a new form of Ray tracing. Any thoughts on wide adoption of this tech and whether you think gamers really want it given the limited performance even on high spec hardware?
 
Reply to Bryson T
Reply @Bryson T! I'm not sure where things are going. What is important these days, frame rate, resolution, how beautiful it is? It's neat, but meh.

  Brandon J
Thanks, Brandon J! First time buying some merch ! With governments incentivizing EVs what potential negatives do you see in the rapid adoption of them and the abandonment of ICE vehicles in the future?
 
Reply to Brandon J
Reply @Brandon J! Electric cars are just better than ICE cars. They're still not perfect but at this point we should try to phase out ICE cars entirely
  Jamil A
Thanks, Jamil A! Hi Linus and Luke! What do you guys think of the upcoming Apple AR Headset? Will it deliver a unique and immersive experience? How will it compare to other AR devices on the market?
 
Reply to Jamil A
Reply @Jamil A! I know we all want AR to succeed. I'm certainly sure we'll be playing with one if it ever appears.
  Patrick E
Thanks, Patrick E! Do you guys think a switch pro could present reasonable competition for the steam deck?
 
Reply to Patrick E
Reply @Patrick E! SteamDeck is pretty open with Linux/Windows all sorts of stuff. If they get that level of open I'm sure. But there's a lot of other competition around now.

Reply @Roger E! Sounds like an awesome idea. ESD safe too. I'll forward the idea on to the merch team.
  David M
Thanks, David M! Hey Luke, AI was just used to enhance the first image of a black hole. Good use? Bad use? Doesn't matter because the AI probably just used stock images of black holes just like Samsung's camera...

Reply to William Z
Reply @William Z! Buy a few years out of date. Generally 1-2 years is still PLENTY fast enough. It would be like buying a 3090 right now instead of a 4090
  Stefan C
Thanks, Stefan C! Love everything your team does. Keep putting out great products.
  Sean B
Thanks, Sean B! Why does the wan stream run at a different speed on floatplane than the YouTube stream? My phone and TV keep going out of sync with floatplane, but stay in sync with YouTube.
 
Reply to Sean B
Reply @Sean B! Might be a micro stutter on the device or from us if they are behind. One or two packets of chunks missing a frame or two. I'll forward on to the floatplane team.

Thanks, Kevin M! Do you think competition in the handheld space from Valve, Asus, GPD, Aya is going to pressure Nintendo to include current gen hardware in the switch 2 or will they underpower it like the original?
