Salutations LLD, what is your favorite colorway/design of an LTT product?
Thanks, Joshua C!
Hey DLL, any new merch updates or spoilers you would like to share?
Cargo pants perhaps? Anyway, thanks so much for the awesome
content and hard work on your products, appreciate the quality!

?.dlL Many of the smartest people I've known were Pessimists, but many stagnated from refusing change. Has Pessimism ever saved you from a fad, or blinded you? Vice versa? Which was more impactful?
Reply @Nick M!
I'd say they are mutually exclusive. I'm a pessimist and love change.
Saved from fads because we wait and see. It's nice to always be happy because you expect everything to suck.

With the first human trial of Nuralink and Starlink expanding, how long before a "skill subscription" would come into the market? Would you pay a sub fee to instantly learn a new skill set?
Reply @AJ V!
Paying for skills is for normies. I'd be downloading bootleg skills and learn like, how to bake incorrectly. They got baking powder and soda backwards and I can't unlearn that.

Hi WAN.DLL. Closet guy again. Recently got an issue, need to run VMWare Workstation at work but it's conflicted with Win Hello and Core Iso. Do any of you have instance that workflow go against
Thanks, Jason S!
In the past when reviewing chips you showed the average and 1% high/low. With Labs are you going to include standard deviation and perform better statistical comparisons between chips

Yo DLL. You have mentioned in computer build videos that you prefer
AIO fan setups a certain way because of the ease of cleaning. Have you
thought about testing various setups for ease of maintenance?
Thanks, Henry B!
Hi DLL! I play a lot of old PC games. Often I can find a community patch to get them running, but not always. Do you think AI could help with this in the future, i.e. AI would make patches for games
Reply @Henry B!
Super interesting question. Would be pretty horrific if that was possible. I think that has farther reaching implications than you realize. Oh no... Will happen though.

Hey LDL, What is the status of the cable tester? I have had a lot of problems with longer display-port cables, and it is super hard to know which USB-C cable supports fast charging and display-port.

With tech companies pushing transparent display tech, what would be a use case for it for the end consumer? I don't see why my laptop screen needs to be transparent.

Hey LLD. Been a fan for almost 6 years now. Recently started college and decided to change my major into tech. I love lots of parts of tech but CS. What type of career paths/ majors would you suggest
Reply @Brit W!
It's a bit of a minefield right now. Might suggest consulting a college advisor. Or at least try and find a niche you love. There's thousands of tiny sectors.

Dear John Tech Tips, I recently left my old toxic job and got a new one working IT. How do you ensure a positive and fun work environment that doesn't turn into a micromanagement hub?
Reply @Michael O!
I think it's a trust thing. In my previous jobs as a manager having trust in my subordinates basically means less stress for everyone.

Hey Guys, love the show and channels. Wondering if you guys will ever
use any of the buy now pay later companies like Affirm with the merch
store? I know I would buy more this this as an option.

Hi DLL! With review bombing becoming more common for bad game
launches is it becoming enough of a threat for studios to think twice
before launching games before they are ready? E.g. Cities Skylines 2

Hi LLD. I listen every week, but haven't watched in real time since I was at LTX last summer. Wondering if there are any updates on the NAS software Linus invested in? Thanks!
Thanks, Richard K!
Hi LLD, I was slightly disappointed that last week Linus didn't continue trying to keep alienating half the audience he started two weeks ago. Due to Zeno's paradox the audience would never reach zero.

Looking forward to seeing the badminton center being complete! I used to work for a company called Savant Systems, and they do a lot of AV distribution equipment. Had you ever considered using them?

Hi, LLD! Do you think VR/AR headsets will ever reach the mass adoption? Will it ever be reasonable to assume that everyone has access to a headset like they do to a smartphone?
Thanks, Rylee G!
Hey Linus, is there any update on the tech pants, and will they come in black or gray? My job's dress code is a green polo and black or gray pants and I think they'd go with my LTT polo at work.

Hi WAN Folks.. In what ways can console hardware be competitive in a future where platform exclusivity no longer exists? Intrigued by the possibility of all consoles capable of playing all games

Hey DLL! It looks like the LAN / Badminton center has better transit connections than the offices / labs. Was this a consideration in picking the location, or just a happy coincidence?

At what age would you give a kid their first tablet? We're currently expecting and have been debating at what age and what sort of limits we should include. Also larger size WAG hoodies when?

No idea these days. Maybe like, high school? Mid thirties? It's horrific
right now. WAG Hoodie questions should be directed to LTT Support!

DLL: InfoSec experts, including PirateSoftware, have advised me against playing Kernel AC games on main machines due to security risks. What will have to happen for publishers to stop doing this?

Hello DLL pickles. I was recently fired from a small MSP and am starting a coding boot camp but it won't finish for 6 months. What would you suggest someone in my position do in the meantime?

Not really the best place to ask. It's really hard to answer as everyone's situation is different. I'd say if you're into coding, then get making stuff as much as you can.

Hey DLL! I finally got my settlement for an auto accident I was in and am ready to replace my water bottle that broke. How does Canada deal with accidents where the at fault driver has no insurance?
Reply @Avery J!
Insurance is mandatory. So they would probably be in legal trouble. Not
entirely sure but it depends on where we are in Canada. Here in BC
there's only 1 company for insurance.
