Thanks, Alyssa C! Linus, I Have Epson Home Cinema 4010 Pro UHD. Saw Valerion Pro 2 video, specs beat mine on paper. Thought short throws were worse than traditional projectors. What am I missing? Worth switching? THX

Thanks, Kyra P! Hi LLD! Happy American explosion day. Any word on when the women's leggings will be available? If they're actually as good as Linus was saying for less than lululemon insanity I'm so ready to buy 10

Thanks, Anonymous! G'day Tall, Slightly Shorter and Short. Why is my download speed in Australia so slow? I've noticed over in Northern America speeds are 2-3x faster. Very jealous. Cheers.

Thanks, Anonymous! Hey DLL, I agree with LMGs policy for ad blockers. Inversely, do you think Orgs that block ALL ads network-level because of malicious ads are unprofessional/as bad as pirating software for Biz use?

Thanks, Lauren H! Is there any update on making a FireTV app or at least getting video playback to work in the FireTV Web Browser? I reported to support and I got a nice email response, but it still doesn't work?

Thanks, Anonymous! Hi all, any interest in digital forensics? I'm building a workstation now and it turns out 5.25" bays are still highly relevant, makes for an interesting build compared to a modern gaming machine.

Reply @Anonymous! It's a different type of job and skill! Consider books and night school if possible. Management is quite a bit complicated. Just trust the team and protect them from up top.

Thanks, Kevin M! First time watching live, usually listen on Monday commute to work! Seeing the bottles on stream convinced me to finally buy one
  Eric K
Thanks, Eric K! Hey LDL! Thanks for hollowing out my book as part of the hidden cameras video some months ago. Question: who on the LTT staff have interest in game speedrunning, as far as you know? Cheers, ~Omni
 
Reply to Eric K
Reply @Eric K! A couple people! I'm personally into it as an interest, but don't have the skills to pull it off. I know there were a few who actually do run games.

Thanks, Anonymous! Why are you giving purchase recommendations in ShortCircuit even though it's just an unboxing channel? I don't think the hands-on, testing or research is thorough enough for you to do that.

Thanks, Joy W! Sup gamers, buying this so I can keep being irritated that LTT made gear is as good as it is because my brain doesn't work right.

Thanks, E.J. A! I thought downloading more FPS was a long time joke, but this new AMD GPU driver has done just that.

Reply to Jonathan Ramiro C
Reply @Jonathan Ramiro C! You'll have to check out our videos or elsewhere I'd say, BECAUSE, they are a sponsor and it wouldn't probably be possible to have an unbiased thought.

Thanks, Carson C! Hello LLD. I always get sad when an old youtube video from a creator gets removed or deleted. so many Nutshack YTPs lost forever. What is a youtube video/channel that has been lost that you miss.
 
Reply to Carson C
Reply @Carson C! I wish I could even remember their name... YTP deserves to be preserved though. Snooping as usual I see, has had a profound effect on my development into a sort of person.

Thanks, Cody B! Luke! If you're going to emulate PS1 FF Tactics, there's a mod to backport the WotL content in the PS1 style! Check out "The Lion War". And Linus, you also still have to play the Reach the Future mod!
