Thanks, Adam D! (tap, tap, tap) Is this thing on?

Thanks, Kevin B! Super Chexx After Party merch when?

Thanks, Bryan K! Hi LLD! Love watching the WAN show.

Thanks, Anonymous! Hi DLL. I work at a big US bank. We did a study that found over 25% of reported scams happend on FB/marketplace. Should FB verify sellers? Can they now that peeps use AI gen IDs to open crypto wallets.

Thanks, Peter T! Hi WAN.DLL, I have 2018 computer that fails CPU & GPU OCCT stress test without any overclock inc. RAM. Power supply is a bit older since it is on the 2nd build. Have you ever ran into this issue?

Thanks, Crystal F! Hey boys! Having a history with tons of other fandoms, I've never seen a fanbase w/ over 15M subs with no fanfics. How'd you manage to do that, Linus? It's impressive and bizarre at the same time.

Thanks, Enzo Armand B! Hey LLD, Linus, you have experience with both the Index and the Beyond. Between those two, which should I choose to upgrade from the Oculus Rift CV1?

Thanks, Bryce K! Hi Seamus, Duke and Sam! I turn the big 4-0 in 2026, and was planning on going to LTX (F). If you guys were going to road trip, where would you go, with who, and what would you do?

Thanks, Mike D! Hello Dan the Wan Man, Luke Plane and Just the Tips. You released a video today about Minion routers. Which LMG employee would you classify as your minion and why?

Thanks, Nicholas L! Hi LLD With Stop Killing Games gaining momentum, any chance we can get a video talking about the loss of digital ownership and how companies can just take away what we have bought at any time? NICK

Thanks, Gabriel L! Hi LLD, I'm going to be cosplaying as a beardless linus while I help my friend build his first gaming PC. How frequently should I plug LTTstore.com while I'm working on the system in his video?

Thanks, RICHARD A! Hey DLL I just got my frmwrk16 TY, what software do you recommend for the RGB keyboard and led Matrix? Thanks for all you do & remember it's all a tax write off.

Thanks, Mickey D! Hi DLL. Luke, you've said you mainly play pokemon go for the walking not the gameplay, have you checked out pikmin bloom? It's way more walking-focused focused and you plant flowers everywhere.

Thanks, YuG P! Hey LLD, Love the show. When is the bottle stock back? Also, which supports you more financially, me watching your video on YouTube Premium or watching the same video on my yearly Floatplane sub?

Thanks, Wyatt J! Piracy would go down if attempts to fight it stopped. If there is no reward, there will be no incentive to pirate it as much.

Thanks, Allan I! Watching from upstairs with the most expensive audience ever. Thank you, LMG!

Thanks, Avon F! Linus - with your war on 'So’' would you consider using ‘but’ properly? ‘But’ should only be used if the following information is negative. We went to the beach but the weather was bad.

Thanks, Andrew S! Aloha DLL, what are you preferred keyboard layouts?

Thanks, Adam B! Hey DLL, I find it interesting that you guys don't stream the pre-show on YouTube; however, you do stream it on Twitch and Floatplane (Floatplane is more understandable). What, if any, is the reason?

Thanks, Nicholas J! Hey Linus, you are the best.

Thanks, Rulon O! Luke, could you use Ai to randomly spot check VPN use, and then log that user if the Ai finds questionable material. Maybe even warn the user that their actions are temporary being logged.

Thanks, Eli K! Hi DLL! Whats ur hottest software take? I'll start: MS edge has actually become the superior browser, ppl just don't take it srsly bc ms shoves it down your throat. I rely on edge workspaces daily now

Thanks, Tony C! Hi DLL, common subject, but thoughts on defunct games being removed from players devices. Like Ubisoft removing The Crew after shutting down servers.

Thanks, Joseph M! Hey DLL, you should considered testing VPN's as an LTT video, maybe partner with the winner? also for old t-shirt designs have you considered print on demand like DTG? you already own blanks...

Thanks, Cesar C! Any chance for an LTT zipper hoodie with oversized hood? Similar to the original JINX Alliance (Blue Gold) and Horde (Black Red) hoodies.

Thanks, Victor M! If they started to just charge 2USD to download a digital copy from their websites, they could be making those "billions" they're loosing just from people loosing track of what they download.

Thanks, Anonymous! On the piracy discussion: There have been several studies showing that, on average, people who pirate more media purchase more media, and piracy has a positive effect on the sale of multimedia.

Thanks, Chris N! Is Lab's ultimate goal to be a competitor to RTINGS & other comparison sites? Also, will Labs be competing to be at Google's Top Search results?

Thanks, Kyle G! Dear LLD, the Small Form Factor community seems to have grown significantly in the past few years with the shrinking of components and cases (except GPUs). Can we expect more LTT content on SFF?

Thanks, Spencer L! Hey wan.dll, last month you discussed Sonos WiFi issues. I work with Ruckus APs in residential: Adjusting directed multicast settings will help. What "this shouldn't be an issue" stories are your fav?

Thanks, Alphonso S! Hey LL,LS,DB! Gift cards are good for throwing money at the TV. Alternatively, how about an item in the shop that is just a charity donation? Could maybe only exist when streaming, for merch

Thanks, David K! What's up boys. Will there ever come a day where WAN show doesn't make sense to make weekly, or say the CEO says no more WAN show from a business standpoint?

Thanks, Luke B! Hey DLL, What do you think about achievement hunting in games? Is it ridiculous to go back and do all the little things just to achieve 100% completion?

Thanks, Milind M! Hi LLD, My recent project has had me upgrade my home server. I was wondering why are the usb 3.2 gen 2 adapters for 10G ethernet not ubiquitous? My mobo has puny 1G card which is my bottleneck now

Thanks, Robert B! First time being able to order an ltt bottle and I'm looking forward to partaking in that ltt quality.

Thanks, Andrew K! While XOC is mostly about the high score, have you seen it impact the development of new products? Is AMD/Intel/Nvidia paying attention to the wild XOC achievements, or is it too left-field to matter?

Thanks, Anonymous! Hey, I love your old t-shirts, but the new ones have really large neck openings. Is it just me, or are they designed this way?

Thanks, Josh H! Howdy LLD, I'm an attorney, and I've had experiences where opposing counsel can't even edit a PDF. I know your field is more tech-oriented, but what're some stories with some tech-deaf folks?

Thanks, Grimyre! Zigbee or Z-Wave and why?

Thanks, Sujit W! Luke mentioned some time ago that you use A knowledge base for float plane. What do you use as your knowledge base? Stackoverflow team or confluence or just raw documents?
