Thanks, James C! Hi Wan.dll, a few weeks ago I suggested a Gyarados theme for Luke's next PC build. If that wasn't cool enough to convince Linus then I have another pitch: an ElectroBOOM collab/Pikachu themed case.

Thanks, Roberto P! With the news of some 5090s missing ROPs, does this change your mind of getting the 5090 yourself and will you also check to see if the card Labs used was affected, if so will you re-run benchmarks?

Thanks, Paul W! Hey Wan.DLL, I started playing Anno 1800 based on watching the show, and I love it. Wanted to know if Luke plays on his own at all. I'm a CS Major, I think it's a game for tech nerds/developers.

Thanks, David B! Hey D L and remote L, How do the credits on videos work? What does each role typically do? (directory, art director, production manager, etc) I see Linus as director of most videos, and was curious.

Thanks, Geoffrey C! Hello, WAN Show. Looking forward to seeing a cat (or three) in this comfy CRT. Do you think there's a solution for the growing tech illiteracy among younger people?

Thanks, Wyatt C! Shalom nwl.dal! Question for all of yall, if YouTube only had two resolutions, 480p60fps or 1080p30fps, which would you choose and why? Thanks! (Ps nwl.dal is just an anagram for wan.dll)

Thanks, Anonymous! Linus, Have you ever tried dirtbikeing?

Thanks, Jesse L! Hey Linus, Luke, and Lan! What do you think is the most interesting or consequential lawsuit/legal battle ever related to the tech industry? Curious as to what you guys think was the most important.

Thanks, Robert D! Hi Brandon! I got Melissa her Baby Shower gift! Love, Dad

Thanks, Jonathan K! Hi DLL, I read today that Apple is ending end-end encryption for users in the UK after their gov demanded backdoor access to that data. How do you feel this will affect the battle for user privacy.

Thanks, Ryan B! Linus. I'm thinking of moving my 13yo son's pc into his bedroom for his birthday. Any suggestions on software or settings to help keep him out of "trouble"?

Thanks, Alexandre B! Just got my commuter backpack and I love it! Had to grab the tech sack to go with it.

Thanks, Anonymous! Where is the world is Luke (or Waldo)?

Thanks, Antulio R! With the underwhelming release of 50series, do you think amd and intel are going to pull a ryzen move? Nvidia seems like how intel was before ryzen.

Thanks, Caner S! Hey Linus Lukie Luke and Dan, considering the layoffs when do you think the tech employment market will get better? What tech do you see increasing demand? Concerned computer engineering major here :)

Thanks, Nate H! Howdy Gentle People, looking for a new bag and wondering if a 16" framework has any chance at fitting in the commuter? I'm not against a shimmy and a shove. Thanks for what ya do, SysAdmin by day.

Thanks, Dan C! Recently you mentioned getting a break from your day to day, I do the same. What kind of things do you three do to give yourself a mental break?

Thanks, Charles S! Hello Daddy Linus. How are you the girthy luke and big danny doing? I am moving to Ohio soon to work in as an IT Depot Tech soon. I am excited to be able to start. You have inspired me to go into IT. T

Thanks, Allen T! Good evening Linus, Luck, and Dan. Linus I remember being told in my computer since class that the industry-expected life cycle for technology was 18 months do you think this is still true?

Thanks, Alejandro P! Hello, Dan et. al, I recently saw an old clip where y'all played devil's advocate with a wheel and I don't think I've seen it since. Any chance it's coming back, even as an occasional segment?

Thanks, Thomas C! Hey all, as someone with multiple years of experience in a niche engineering field but no degree I'm struggling to find a new job. Any suggestions for getting past automated resume filters?

Thanks, Ian Johlell R! Hey there DLL, what are your thoughts on the idea that a brand of laptop a company uses says about the company? Does this indicator still hold true today vs decades ago?

Thanks, Neil L! PhysX emulator time?

Thanks, Dakota G! What up WAN-folk. Linus, any chance of the other colors for LTT Screwdriver returning once a year for a limited time on the anniversary of its launch? Missed my chance to get it in the iconic orange.

Thanks, Tommy S! Hi Dinus, Duke and Lan, I'm always impressed by how up to date you stay with the tech news. What's your preferred news aggregator? P.S. iPhone 16e will do iPhone 16 what Pixel 8a did to Pixel 8.

Thanks, Anonymous! LLD, I'm a 38 y/o who never figured out what I want to do when I grow up. Stumbled into a good job, but it's not my dream. Do you remember when you identified your calling? Was there a specific moment?

Thanks, Félix-Antoine B! HI DLL! I noticed a couple more videos with multiple hosts(like that 5080 vid) is this part of the de-linus-ifying of LMG to allow LMG to keep groing without Linus? Also love it when you host Dan!

Thanks, Dalton D! Yo DLL. Ever since QD OLED became a thing, I've been holding out for a 4k ultrawide. So far the closest thing on the horizon is LG's "5k2k" WOLED panels. You think we'll see a QD variant anytime soon?

Thanks, Tim E! Hey DLL, I'm in pursuit of my BS in computer science, and often have a feeling of imposter syndrome. Do any of you ever, or have ever, felt that way? How did you manage it?

Thanks, Gabriel C! Greetings gents! Any plans to bring back the daily desk calendar?

Thanks, James R! What would you think about: in lieu of preorders, offer a special gift card for would-be products that comes with a percent discount IF the product launches. If not, still have reg credit at LTTStore

Thanks, Anonymous! Other than ‘disclaimer: this output may be wrong’, how would you test the output of an LMM integrated into a product?

Thanks, Alejandro L! What are your thoughts on Apple removing iCloud encryption in the UK so that authorities can access customer data?

Thanks, Ahmed K! I agree Apple Qa has gone down. I've found the best way to deal with issues like L had, instead of restoring from back up is to set up as a new phone, thn import your stuff back. Backups cause isssues

Thanks, Josiah K! @LeD & @LL, loving my commute © & bought a 14inch Thinkpad to fit in it. Do you think RTX add-in-cards could be the way forward for AMD? Maybe expandable CAMM module Vram in future gpus? LTX2026?

Thanks, Alberto J! With the uncertainty of US tariffs, how is CW planning shipping overseas in the future?

Thanks, Sebastien M! Any news about the ModMat? Twas hinted as supposed to be launched on the recent GN drama, but no news since.... I hoped to avoid double shipping, but framework hoodie is too tempting

Thanks, Michael KH T! Everyone in the US is being Trumped!

Thanks, Jerry C! Thanks for the great hoodie! Linus, have you ever had any ankle injuries playing badminton? What was your rehabilitation routine like? I had my ankle injury recently and it sucks.

Thanks, Ian L! Hi Ian, Duke, and Dinus! I absolutely love the material in your RGB shirts/hoodie! Hope you restock them and make more (like sweatpants). Also, what are your favorite materials you've used for merch?

Thanks, Cristian B! I love the quality of LTT merch and this hoodie looks great! quick question: had issues with shipping in EU, I just wish you would offer more expensive shipping options (yes I want to pay more money)

Thanks, Adn W! Hey DLL, I've been getting back into reading recently and wondered what life changing books you've read. Thanks for the gift card.

Thanks, Nathan P! Excited for my new hoodie! What are your thoughts on the movement of Linux in the gaming sphere, given that they've risen in user numbers?

Thanks, Charles R! Hello LLD! An alternative to LTT Yacht might be the LTT railcar. It's probably cheaper/easier than you think. Viarail can haul private railcars on their trains. I have a contact if you are interested.

Thanks, Forest A! Hey dll, recently our car broke down and we didn't have the money to fix it. It was 2 weeks white knuckling it until payday. Have a better job now. Have any of you ever had a similar experience?

Thanks, Matthew D! Any interest in touring a fiber to the home ISP network? We have a few fiber ethernet based (NOT PON) networks in Michigan & Ohio we built and manage.
