I got my fidget spinner today, it's great. I love the weight, spins for a long time, and it's a cool little toy. Almost as cool as this segue, to another Merch message.
Thanks, Robert R!
Shout out to my son who I'm sending off to college tomorrow with my LTT screwdriver. Buying my replacement for myself now. Picking up some work shirts too. Love you guys.
Thanks, Crystal F!
Henlo Linux, Vista, & MS-DOS! How long do you think it'll be before sites require a live feed to confirm your identity? Also, with this pencil, my LTT stationary collection is complete!
Thanks, Andrew M!
Hey LDL, Thanks for the pencils. Shortly after I bought my first soldering iron, a new iron came out that would have suited my use case much better. What is your most regretted tech/tool purchase?
Reply @Andrew M!
My threadripper. It was immediately apparent that I had dropped $10k on a new system and all my workflows actually preferred single core speeds to multi.........
Thanks, Alexander G!
I mean this as a genuine question as i know you American viewers are curious, what is the marijuana policy like at the company or can you not even ask cause its Canada and protected? 420 jokes on ltt
Reply @Alexander G!
Liability is a BIG thing, so basically no substances during working hours. Which is extremely typical and most companies do this. Don't come to work drunk/high/on meth etc.
Thanks, Allan B!
Kind of wish I had gotten the notifications I signed up for, not in spam either. I don't think I've actually gotten one since backpack v1
Thanks, Billy b!
Hey DLL! Whhoo! Pins & Pencils! I've been enjoying Hex 0S! What's your guys thoughts on setting up a in house file share system on it's own network, for sharing files/photos with friends and family?
Thanks, Michael P!
CPU fidget spinner feels so wrong and so right at the same time. And I love the Budgie pins; getting one to remind me of my Cockatiel when I'm on vacation.
Thanks, Daniel P!
Hey LLD, if someone applied for a job and casually mentioned in the interview that they'd also be down to model underwear for LTTStore, would that help, hurt, or have no effect on their chances?
Thanks, Norbert S!
Hey guys love ur content since the early days and you are actually one of the main reasons I want to start my own small repair business. Thanks for inspiring me all these years!!!
Thanks, Chris L!
Hey Dinus Duke and Lan, trying to watch while I'm at work doing MRI's, would you consider doing content on other spheres of tech, like medical, sports, etc.
Thanks, Julio C!
Hi Dan and his sidekicks: I've seen some people say GPUs are expensive in part due to inflation. Linus, what do you think each tier should cost today, and what specs should they have?
Thanks, Jeremy L!
Howdy Linus, Luke and Dan! Question for Luke... how do you typically determine the backlog for Floatplane? Curious to hear how you manage your priorities for such a small dev team.
Thanks, Cosmo T!
Hey DLL, if the three of you were stranded on a deserted island with only LTT Store products, how would you use them to survive, and who cracks first?
Reply @Cosmo T!
We use the LTT pencil to cut up Linus and stay alive that way. Luke cracks first because he doesn't have any Franks Red Hot to put on Linus. Backpack stores coconuts.

I find myself using a controller over keyboard due to more controller-friendly ports or ability to switch between my tower and handheld. Anything surprising u lads about how ur gaming has evolved?
Reply @Clay H!
I bought a PS5 controller for games. I don't own a PS5... I should probably turn in my badge shouldn't I? I also don't hate the peasants any more. I only look down on them now.
Thanks, Norman S!
I've been waiting so long for the pencil, let's go! Linus, will we be seeing a part 2 of "Your Old Pc is Your New Server"? Would love to see someone carry Emily's torch with this series!
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hey parasocial friends, what is your dream workwise? What do you do once you achieve your dream? Loved the scribedriver pen, can't wait for the pencil. Much love - computer loving chenist
Thanks, Joshua A!
With your experience doing injection molding on the screwdriver, would you create
injection molded model kits of random LTT things? (think Gundam Models)
Reply @Joshua A!
I should poke the eng team about that. Lets bootleg Warhammer. Honestly that's a
really interesting idea that might be kinda fun. BUT, it makes a lot of waste which is
bad.
Thanks, Seth W!
Great time at opensauce, fun surprise to see Jake, Dan, and Sarah with Luke at discussion table. Thanks for commiserating with bosses who "think out loud"!
Thanks, Christian J!
Glad you were able to restock! Love everything I have gotten from y'all, and appreciate the quality of the products you've put out. I still need to make some reviews. Did you check out the new HTYD?
Thanks, Jonathan S!
Hi lubricant, Linked, Dandelion. Has there been anyplace you've travelled too that you think you really wasted your opportunity being there. Like just kinda "wasted" or poorly did a trip
Thanks, Jordan S!
Hello WAN.DLL, I can't always watch WAN but I would like to read the Merch Messages that appear on screen, would it be possible to have a text post on FP with the Merch Messages and answers?
Thanks, Zachary O!
hello wan peeps, Linus and Luke (maybe Dan too not sure), I'm planning a trip to Taiwan at the moment and would love some tips or recommendations for the area, specifically Taipei
Thanks, Phil H!
Hey Wanboys, can you let us know if the swim shorts will ever be restocked or were
they a one off? I have a pair but need a smaller size as it turns out I have no arse to
speak of anymore.
Thanks, Charlie E!
Patchpack, a full backpack with Velcro all over for easy patches!!! I own every full size backpack so make that one!! (also if you do another run of leather ones I'll buy 2) (also sell patches for it)
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hello, I was in the market to buy a new monitor. I realized what do people do for sound? Every where I go, people say built in speakers Suck. If so what kind of speakers, sound bar, bookend?
Thanks, Skyler N!
Hey DLL question for Linus! Knowing your affinity for Final Fantasy, have you ever tried the Kingdom Hearts series? PS Dan you're the best wan show host
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hi LLD, I built my first pc 13 years ago at 12yo watching LTT videos. Been watching ever since every week. I must have watched almost every wan show at some point. Thank you for the great content!
Thanks, Brendan S!
Hi LLD! Two questions. One, is the ptm thermal pad going to be restocked in 60x60?
It's been out for a while. Two, any updates on the Mod Mat? Love the show and excited for Whale LAN!
Thanks, Jonathan G!
Hey Linus and Luke, just finished my performance review for my company, do you guys ever have to do that? What do you think of them if you have to?
Reply @Jonathan G!
I am pretty sure everyone does performance reviews. Or at least not doing them is the outlier. I think it's a great time for feedback both upwards and downwards. 10/10
Thanks, Michael G!
Would you consider doing a SSD temperature in handheld video? Like does the gen or brand used actually effect performance due to heat in such a small case? I don't think anyone else has done this.
Thanks, Jon C!
Woo! Scribe Driver Mech Pencil and fancy new pin! What are you thoughts on the
Crowd Sourced Parcel carriers that are popping up? The “Uber” Last mile parcel
deliveries?
Thanks, Griffin Alexander M!
Hi LTT! been watching for a long time & rocking the hoodie, water bottle &
screwdriver. I'm off to college, so I figured I'd treat myself to the desk pad while I
replace my beat-to-death spout lid.
Thanks, Eric A!
Hey guys! Any chance of getting bottoms restocked anytime soon? Notably lounge pants or pajama pants? They're so comfy and I want more pairs! Love the show, thanks for everything you do!
Thanks, Jorge A!
Dan, curate this or I'll microwave my tea. We need background playback on the
Floatplane iOS app, it's been years. Linus, you are doing something similar to how
Apple treats Airpodsusers on Android.
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hey ldl have yall thought to do Linus town for April fools would. It would hit. Id like to see if yall choose to curate this if you are. Dan you are a gem and add so much to the show. Thank you all
Thanks, Matthew K!
Hey DLL. I am a bank regulatory attorney in the United States. With regard to the PayPal situation, should a bank be allowed to choose its customers?
Thanks, Chris F!
LLD, Hot Take, ChatGPT has no idea how it works. OpenAI just got it real good at pretending it does. It just lies about it's thought processes, just like it lied to you when coding. Thoughts?
Reply @Chris F!
Yes that's basically how all AI works at this point. The way that the net weights are structured to produce an output is basically magic.
Thanks, Damien M!
It's been a crazy few weeks. As an indie dev, seeing work at the mercy of payment processors is scary. It's costing livelihoods and limiting consumer choice.
Thanks, Brandon G!
Hey Linus, just quit my 9-5 so I could run my own PC repair biz full time, and I'm also a YT creator. Any advice for someone doing this on their own for the first time? I'm hella nervous.
Thanks, Brett W!
So for the PayPal issue: I work in payment processing, from what I can see for the card brands, there is a greater perceived risk with adult content. This includes chargebacks and card skimming.
Thanks, Daniel Paul L!
Thank you so much for creating content that educates and entertains! Keep advocating for consumers and defining the standard for tech YouTube.
Thanks, Christian L!
Hey DLL, loving my cargo pants, but encountered a weird problem. The fly zipper is so nice and smooth, it often zips down unintentionally. Any other stories of "suffering from success" with products?
Thanks, Rylee H!
Hey DLL! Super excited for Whale LAN! I was able to get Whale VIP spot! Anything you are excited for during the event and any recommendations to do while in the Surrey BC Area?
Thanks, Michael R!
Hi DLL, I am trying to get internet service to an outbuilding 700 ft away from the nearest building. What's the best way if there's too many trees for P2P. Planning on following the backyard fiber vid
Thanks, Jacob W!
Since Linus was not in the last AMD Tech Upgrade, would this be the start of Linus taking a step back from hosting, as much? Have you thought about retirement?
Thanks, Daryl R!
Luke, Linus, or Dan, how long should a AlO cpu cooler be replaced? I have had my Articll cooler for 5+ years now and I've noticed it runs a little warmer now. Also if you do recommend a cooler, what?
Reply @Daryl R!
Sounds about time. 4-5 years or so is good. Be ready for it to happen if you have one.
I'd ask our forum for recommendations as they change all the time.
Thanks, Aaron D!
I purchased this with Apple Pay, and only use Apple Pay with my Apple credit card.
The way Tim Apple wants it... I love the new changes to the wan show setup. Maybe spice up the background soon?
Thanks, Bruce L!
Hey LLD, I co-own and run an e-recycling company. I got precision screwdriver sets for all my staff and a couple of the full-sized screwdrivers. They're genuinely great tools! Thanks for all y'all do!
Thanks, Michael H!
Good even Minus, Plus (Luke), and Add (Dan). Are the towels ever coming back? I have the large, but wanted to get some of the matching hand towels.
Thanks, Anonymous!
I really like the look of your transparent screw driver, but I've already bought one for work and at home and don't need another. First world problems, I guess.
Thanks, Kenneth W!
What challenges would exist to make a Sakura edition screwdriver? Its easy to die the plastic pink, but adding the leaves and branches may prove difficult, epically if it's done with a sticker.
Thanks, Jacob K!
Hey LLD, thank you for being so awesome! For everyone, if you could delete one tech product from existence forever, what would it be and why?
Thanks, Axel D!
god I cant wait to hold your harvested extendable shaft in my hand! thank you lah-
dee-dah! have you ever though about making let themed plant pots? a Bready
Potsaurus would be cool!
Thanks, Sophia W!
I love y'all's dedication to quality content and products. I get asked all the time about your merch so I was wondering what is the detailed process for Linus or whomever to approve new products?
Thanks, Tony C!
Hi WAN Crew, My coworkers always compliment on the pen when they borrow it (and return it), excited for the pencil. What's the most valuable, price or emotional, item someone "borrowed"?
Reply @Tony C!
I had a pair of medical grade locking forceps. Used them as a uh, clip, for... uh. Substances. Someone pocketed them and it still kinda hurts.

Hey DLL, I remember a few years ago you said the LTT supernova intro video would be used less to not take up valuable video time. I've been seeing it appear more often recently, what changed?

Hi LLD, The scribedriver pens look slick with my military uniform, now I can be the one guy who also carries a pencil. What do your EDCs look like nowadays?

Hello my parasocial friends. I just got a 3D printer and I'm trying to get into designing my own functional doodads. Do you ever dabble in designing your own things? And what inspires you to do so? Thx
Reply @Joshua M!
I use it as a hammer to smack nails. Sometimes those nails are screws. I do all my own designs with Solidworks, and it's such a wonderful tool.
Thanks, Daniel D!
Hey DLL! what do you think about the latest batch of third party Xbox branded devices (Meta Quest and ROG Ally)? is this a sign that the actual Xbox console is bound to disappear?

Does the Scribdriver Mechanical Pencil have a built in eraser? .DLL I don't think you guys have had a lot of Bosses in the past... How have you dealt with having particularly bad bosses?
Thanks, Jacob S!
Hi Dan & Seat-Fillers. Thanks for the pencil, hoping it's good for woodworking. Short Seat-Filler, I miss Alex content, but enjoying Andy & Alex ZTT content. Can we expect an LTT ZTT collab anytime?
Thanks, Ben N!
Hi DLL I am flowing your advice and running as much cat6a as I can (renovation) but maybe I should run fiber to places that have more than one computer but what if the fiber gets contaminated(havenas)

Hey Guys, not much of a pen user but always try to find a reason to use the scribdriver. Best Pen I've ever used. Hope the same holds true for the pencil! Greetings from a german nightshift worker.

Hello LLD, Thanks for the cool shwag. I'm working as a software engineer and have started upgrading my homelab into a rack. Do you have any advice to avoid tripling my energy bill. Compute = :) Cheers

upgrade? Just seems to get the most value make it last longer. PC/Car/Phone
