Thanks, Nick M! ?.dlL How do you feel about the recent massive price+ of VMware following the acq by Broadcom, and the overall trend of bundling services? Any thoughts on doing a video on alt solutions, ie KubeVirt?
 
Reply to Nick M
Reply @Nick M! They must have realized they had a market cornered. I'm sure new stuff will pop up to replace it as they are burning bridges.

Thanks, Anonymous! Hello Linus &co. The LTT Minecraft server was the best game community I've ever been in, and it did not deserve its slow painful death. I know Jake got busy but couldn't someone else run it? Please...

Thanks, Bret C! I'm a Microsoft datacenter technician and I've been using your screwdriver daily since it was launched, love it! Much better than what they give us, the ratchet is kickass. But square bits? C'mon man!

Reply @Bret C! We're Canadian!
  Bryan L
Thanks, Bryan L! How come no one has played around with the thought of Microsoft making a phone again? Snapdragon makes ARM-based Windows devices now, so why not a Windows phone to match Apple's ecosystem?
 
Reply to Bryan L
Reply @Bryan L! I'd love to see one again.
  NOOR M
Thanks, NOOR M! Hey LLM. My desk is a nightmare with cables. Going to use this with a brand new Deskhaus standing L-desk on the way to fix my setup. I bought a mini treadmill too. What desks do you use at LMG?
 
Reply to NOOR M
Reply @NOOR M! We have quite a mélange. Most of them are Ikea.
  Felipe B
Thanks, Felipe B! Hey guys, as a nature photography enthusiast i'd like to get a NAS for myself and my parents (we all are photographers), but my mom is super messy. Can you limit user access to specific HDD/folder?
 
Reply to Felipe B
Reply @Felipe B! Yep! Individual shares are 100% possible, including usage limits.

Thanks, Denis G! Are there any news on European LTT Store? Linus kind of teased it like half a year ago. Yet here I am ordering from Canadian store. Kudos.

Reply to Anonymous
Reply @Anonymous! Generally my understanding is it's for engagement. People see price and click off. Part of playing the YouTube game sadly. I know little about headphones. Try Dankpods or DMS!

Reply to Scott L
Reply @Scott L! Not on the docket for tonight, but it seems like a super interesting thing. Drone regulation has always been super odd.
  Ryan H
Thanks, Ryan H! Hello hello Dalinuke, we have yet another grubby company coming for our personal ownership: Adobe and Creative cloud want ALL of your stuff to use for their own purposes (see:ai training). Thoughts?

Thanks, Scott G! .dlL, I had a nokia and I remember they had Abc [dialing] (clicking 2 twice to get to a "b") and T9 [dialing] (predicting - e.g. pressing 323 to get "dad"); but, did I have it backwards?

Thanks, Tony C! Hi DLL, My company is really pushing an internal ChatGPT but curious to your thoughts on relying too much on it compared to purpose built tools like OCR instead of asking gpt to understand an image
 
Reply to Tony C
Reply @Tony C! It's a tool, and everyone is trying to use a hammer to drive screws or cut vegetables. It has its uses but a lot of people seem ta be missing the uses for it.

Thanks, Jesse B! Hi DL and lil-L! Do you find it more challenging managing employees using Windows or mac0S? Are there any (work) Linux users at LMG? Thanks for the great content! Also Linux gaming-challenge 2 when?
 
Reply to Jesse B
Reply @Jesse B! Mac mostly because of our tool compatibility and the Mac users being lower skill and not understanding how to use macOS properly. Linux is mostly on Lab machines.

Thanks, Anonymous! Speaking of NAS software, have you heard of UmbrelOS? It's an OS for running your own personal cloud and even has an app store filled with programs for self-hosting. I recommend checking it out.
