Reply @Timothy R! We've considered it but maybe in the future!
  Scott G
Thanks, Scott G! Linus, Dan, and Luke, have you been playing disco elysium and if so what do you think of the company that owns it announcing an android version "to captivate the tiktok user"?
 
Reply to Scott G
Reply @Scott G! Absolutely terrible.
  Robert M

Thanks, Anonymous! Hey wan.dll, buying this for my gf as a super late Valentine's gift. What do you think it will take for the year of the Linux desktop to finally arrive? What do you think is holding Linux back?

Reply @Anonymous! I'm really hoping steam os fixes a lot of it.
  Jeremiah C
Thanks, Jeremiah C! Do you think there's any future in computer programming with the rise of AI. In my junior year of a computer science degree and worried about finding a job, don't expect crazy pay at this point.
 
Reply to Jeremiah C
Reply @Jeremiah C! New job title is now programming debugger.
  Allen K
Thanks, Allen K! For luke: My neighbor moved out this week and released his parrots with clipped wings into his backyard. We managed to catch two and took them to a rescue. Ever had a neighbor upset you greatly?

Reply @Allen K! Not that much... oh my gosh.
  Wyatt H
Thanks, Wyatt H! Hello beautifuls, I will be selling my 9070xt for the 9080xt when it comes out, I will probably sell at a competitive aftermarket price, does this make me a scalper?? It struggles running with xeneon
 
Reply to Wyatt H
Reply @Wyatt H! Sorta? You used it so not sure that counts as scalping.

Thanks, Noah F! Thank you for all you do!
  Brandon G
Thanks, Brandon G! Hey Dan and the other guys! Are the recommendations for the next video to watch scripted or does Linus come up with a unique and relevant video every time?

Reply @Brandon G! Every time. :D

Thanks, Andre N! Hello Wan.dll, is there any hope for a Swacket V3? I use my swacket V1 daily and its slowly falling apart. Thanks for all you do.

Reply @Andre N! I'm sure we might in the future. But who knows at this point.
  KELSEY S
Thanks, KELSEY S! Hey LLD, I recently got my CDL, which means a little extra money for stupid purchases. What kind of tech addons would you do to a classic sports car, like, say a early Miata? #popupupanddownheadlights
 
Reply to KELSEY S
Reply @KELSEY S! Heads up display and some really really advanced system management solution.
  Andy M
Thanks, Andy M! Good evening Sebby, Laffy, and Bessy. I have yet to lose at a video game to my 14yr old son; but that day is coming. Linus, what game(s) can you confidently say you'll never lose to yours in?

Reply to CK K
Reply @CK K! They don't mind.
  kofi a
Thanks, kofi a! After watching technology connections video on algorithmic complacency, showing how 3% use the sub feed. How has creating changed with his change in viewer habbits?
 
Reply to kofi a
Reply @kofi a! We all fight the algorithm now. Every creator. But these metrics have been available for a long while.
  Timothy H
Thanks, Timothy H! Hope you all are well. I'm curious with the release of the backpack rain cover if you guys are coming out with more backpack accessories. Would love an attachment to carry a motorcycle helmet.

Reply @Timothy H! Maybe in the future!

Thanks, Anonymous! Hi all! Linus, did you keep using Homey? Love HA..but it is a pain in the a** at times. Was hoping Homey is as good but less needy. Also, could I write off my taxes with this gift of card?!
 
Reply to Anonymous
Reply @Anonymous! I believe he's back on HA.
  Tyler K
Thanks, Tyler K! Can't wait for new underwear to come in (if y'all are still going to do those) Had four pairs fail on me in the past two weeks. Much love.

Thanks, Max B! Stories like "Freedom Cities" make the 2020's feel even more like the longest decade of my life.

Thanks, Alex J! Hey DLL. Built PC in Nov, 9800X3D was out of stock, so went with 9700X. Got a 5090 FE at MSRP. Should I upgrade for 4K perf or wait for 10800X3D? Unrelated - Listen to Dungeon Crawler Carl on Audible!

Thanks, Andre R! I know you're not doing the Tech Yacht, but I'd love to see some marine related tech stuff. I bought a Framework Desktop to put on my boat. Framework immersion to protect from salty corrosion?

  PEDRO R E
Thanks, PEDRO R E! AMD failed us, NVidia doesn't need us, and Intel can keep up. WE already survived fake money rush. but artificial assistant/pilot have so much road to travel. What's next for us, Gamers?
 
Reply to PEDRO R E
Reply @PEDRO R E! VR but worse!
  Boldizsar V
Thanks, Boldizsar V! Hi LLD! Do you think AMD's ray tracing and AI features can catch up to NVIDIA in the next generations, as more games with mandatory ray tracing come out? Would be critical if the market stays this bad
 
Reply to Boldizsar V
Reply @Boldizsar V! Probably eventually. But it's getting a bit scary if technology becomes proprietary.

  Kameron S
Thanks, Kameron S! With severe weather tonight heading to my area, other than the common warnings devices, do you think that more inventions in warning people about this weather would be better?
 
Reply to Kameron S
Reply @Kameron S! Absolutely. But it's such a complicated horrific beast that it would be really cool to at least have something like... on every telephone pole.
  Godfrey H
Thanks, Godfrey H! What do you guys think about the Nixplay bait and switch this week? I have 3 frames, one for my immediate and two in-laws in other countries and now this. What should the community do?
 
Reply to Godfrey H
Reply @Godfrey H! Absolutely abhorrent. This is why I will pay extra for dumb devices or build them myself.
  Christopher A
Thanks, Christopher A! Can you add either delayed egress modules or tie the doors into your fire system so you can keep them normally locked?
 
Reply to Christopher A
Reply @Christopher A! Not fire code.
  Brian R
Thanks, Brian R! Hello Danamic Luke Linbrary! As a company, how do you balance releasing "reactive" content (reviews, news, etc.) and "creative" content (Scrapyard Wars, Whole House Water Cooling, etc.)?
 
Reply to Brian R
Reply @Brian R! Depends on how much effort each of them are!

Thanks, Colby b! Tariff's can't stop me from repping the LTT store! I heard the top of this screwdriver spins longer than the planet on its axis.

Thanks, Saul T! WAN.DLL What's the next evolution of mobile LAN? You skipped over Bus, but during CES y'all stationed up with a company that had good internet. Would a portable LTT Studio/Editing station work?

  Dylan K
Thanks, Dylan K! Hi DLL! I apparently made a mistake ordering a 4x24GB kit of 8000 MT/s RAM on my new AMS board as it can only reach 5600 MT/s stable. What's the deal with this generation? Does everyone just buy two?

Reply to John H
Reply @John H! Not off the top of my head. You could do a separate burner of some kind. Like with a text manager app.
  Andrew X
Thanks, Andrew X! Hello Big L, Small L, and Biggggg D! Given the choice of an Air cooled or AIO cooled 5090, what would you recommend to go with and how would you configure dual AIOs in a build?
 
Reply to Andrew X
Reply @Andrew X! I'm down for air cooled right now, mostly because the AIOs are locked in sort of. If you want maybe consider a block replacement later

Thanks, Rick T! Hello LLD, Linus, As someone that has moved from the northwest to the southeast do you have any lighter cloths in the works?
 
Reply to Rick T

Thanks, Nelson B! Hello gentlemen, 1 time WAN purchase. Weren't you guys rebranding merch messages? On another note, I'm curious to know what are the biggest ethical issues you think technology faces today.

Reply @Nelson B! The big thing is mostly the stolen training data.
  Brian B

  Ludie Bitner B
Thanks, Ludie Bitner B! Good evening L/L/D! Where is the line in your mind for saturation of AI (as a marketing tool) where it begins to resemble how "having a website" was in late 90's/early 00's? Where it becomes gauche?
 
Reply to Ludie Bitner B
Reply @Ludie Bitner B! We're reaching that point very quickly. Everything is just containing an AI now and most are moving onto custom models rather than ChatGPT reskins.
