  Jonathan G
Thanks, Jonathan G! Hey DLL Love the show Question for Linus: How is the LTT Bit case coming along
 
Reply to Jonathan G
Reply @Jonathan G! Your message was curated! We will answer it later in the show.
  Nathan A
Thanks, Nathan A! would a gpu be required for something like a plex server or could someone get away with integrated graphics theoretically?
 
Reply to Nathan A
Reply @Nathan A! Depends on encoding needs. I just have a CPU in mine, and that doesn't even HAVE integrated graphics! If you wanna encode different bitrates, GPU might be faster than CPU.

Thanks, Anonymous! How are you gentlemen !! I lost a bunch of weight this year and am reloading on newer, smaller shirts. Are any of you working on any long term personal goals right now, and if so, how are those going?

  Kalle A
Thanks, Kalle A! You ruined me (and my crotch) - I had to wait over a year to restock underwear because nothing has matched the LTT quality and feel
  Jacob K
Thanks, Jacob K! Luke how's the new build of the store coming? building a custom theme or based off Horizon? Would love some BTS of that process after it goes live. ps: look at schematic shopify on github, so helpful!

Thanks, Jeffrey V! Hi LDL, question mostly for Linus, but still wanna hear Luke and Dan's take, how do you deal with sibling jealousy/ rivalry issues? Both in your own kids and when growing up

  Simon D
Thanks, Simon D! If you haven't read Dungeon Crawler Carl, you're missing out on peak "man in underwear versus apocalypse" literature. Anyway, thanks for the blunt weapon and new armor!
  Sergio R
Thanks, Sergio R! Howdy DLL, I talked with someone recently who hasn't tried VR since 2014 mall-kiosk PhoneVR & they still think all VR is like that: Have you ever ran into similar situations with other technologies?
 
Reply to Sergio R
Reply @Sergio R! Yeah some stuff moves super quick. If you're not in-it you kinda miss out. I often find if I step away for a second something new has exploded. Especially with things like local AI
  Andrew H
Thanks, Andrew H! Hello captain, first officer, & flight engineer! What's one piece of tech/general tech you would delete FOREVER if you could? ie.Can't be made, ever, idea never existed, & never will? Bit holder when?
 
Reply to Andrew H
Reply @Andrew H! Smart appliances. GONE. BYE. Bit holder question I have as a merch message so we'll find out together.
  Phil H
Thanks, Phil H! Question for the two Ls; in your opinion, what is the dumbest thing the other has ever done. For Dan: As arbiter of the talent, which of these is the dumbest of all.

  Crystal F
Thanks, Crystal F! Henlo Lan, Duke, & DLinus! Any advice on how to deal with a grandparent who needs more & more care, but refuses to go to a nursing home? Asking for a me.
 
Reply to Crystal F
Reply @Crystal F! One of the more difficult ones we all have to deal with. Getting in home care might be the way to go, but $$$ . People move back in. I live close to my parents for the same reason.
  Nicholas K
Thanks, Nicholas K! Hey LLD! What do you think about the future of the tech repair industry? I work in computer repair and was wondering if I should jump ship or stay in and specialize in board level repair. Thank you!
 
Reply to Nicholas K
Reply @Nicholas K! Dad does board level repair! Almost no one does it, and you can focus on high-end stuff. Dad does a lot of high-end studio equipment repairs or more expensive devices.
  Skylar B
Thanks, Skylar B! Are the new cables going to be cat resistant? Messenger bag soon?

  Jacob Z
Thanks, Jacob Z! Heyo, i have a small scale flower and produce farm on an island south of yall. What kinda wild ass tech is out there now for lawn and garden. Remember the weeding robots that were like garden roombas?
 
Reply to Jacob Z
Reply @Jacob Z! Those are getting even more obscene. There's lots of weird open source garden stuff too, like soil monitors and watering stuff. Tech plants are an insane tech hobby. Super neat.
  Anonymous
Thanks, Anonymous! LLD, from someone helping grow a startup, since you haven't needed outside investment, how do you think industries that require massive seed funding for starting can grow scalably after that?
 
Reply to Anonymous
Reply @Anonymous! Get someone on staff who knows how to take companies to each stage of growth. 10-100-1000-10000. We're in the 100+ stage and it's HARD AS HECK. Experience is what you need here.
  Thomas H
Thanks, Thomas H! Luke, thoughts on the community effort to run the BSB2 on Linux? Really glad to not have to dual boot! Also thanks for bringing undies back, of course mere days *after* I bought some from Ludwig. ^^

  Craig M
Thanks, Craig M! Hi from the UK. I want to make authentic Canadian Poutine in the UK. i've had "Canadian Poutine" at a festival here but I would like a proper homemade mum's recipe, which brands should i look out for?
 
Reply to Craig M
Reply @Craig M! High quality beef gravy, just like, any kind of cheese curd, ideally a cornstarch dusted chip. But really you just take chips, Sunday roast beef gravy, and little cheese nuggets.
  Lisa H
Thanks, Lisa H! Hello Linus, Luke and Dan, with the rise in scams going around. What is something that can help protect the elderly and most vulnerable in our society when you are not there to help?
 
Reply to Lisa H
Reply @Lisa H! Instilling a mindset of questioning constantly. Everything is a scam until proven otherwise.
  David K
Thanks, David K! What's up boys. Linus, awhile ago you talked about making more tools for the ltt brand, even if they are not innovative, as we want ltt branded tools, any update ?

  Nick D
Thanks, Nick D! Hi LLD, Is there ever the possibility of you guys doing a live WAN Show tour or the like through at least the US and Canada?
 
Reply to Nick D
Reply @Nick D! Probably not sadly.
  jay b
Thanks, jay b! Dear Wan, Dan, and Duke- with so much of the web hosted by so few companies, how can we, the little people, help make the web more decentralized?
 
Reply to jay b
Reply @jay b! Not really possible at this point until people start doing pirate nets.
  Matt C
Thanks, Matt C! What up, crew - new floatplane user here! I'd love to get into creating, altering, and troubleshooting electronics but don't know where to start, especially hands on. Any advice?
 
Reply to Matt C
Reply @Matt C! Try recycling depots. People often recycle tech that only is SORTA broken.
  Joe K
Thanks, Joe K! Luke (and maybe Dan/Lines), how do you feel the tech media overall has done when it comes to covering AI companies and the often overblown usefulness of their products?
 
Reply to Joe K
Reply @Joe K! Really hard to slice through the chaff. It's very complicated and moves so quickly you kinda have to be an expert to keep up. Easier to parrot.
  Steve M
Thanks, Steve M! I just have to point out that it was not the whole AWS that went down, it was a SINGLE REGION! also to quote Red Shirt Jeff-- "It was DNS"
  Hieu H
Thanks, Hieu H! Hi LLD, just wondering if any of you guys are interested in F1 racing. Would be a nice video to checkout the tech behind
 
Reply to Hieu H
Reply @Hieu H! I'm a fan! Would love to try it out.
  Bobby M
Thanks, Bobby M! As a newer subscriber, it took an embarrassingly long time to realize what "LLD" stood for, and that it wasn't an odd mistyping of "LTT." Any other WAN tropes/lore that newbies should be aware of?

Thanks, Mario M! Hey LLD, I was wondering if you've had any updates with dashcams since the last video ~3 years ago. I just purchased a New Veloster N and am looking for a dashcam but many seem disappointing still ;(
 
Reply to Mario M
Reply @Mario M! Not at the moment!
  Leonardo S
Thanks, Leonardo S! If diesel was more energy efficient than jet fuel, wouldn't jets just use diesel? Weight and volume to energy density wise.
  Emilian A
Thanks, Emilian A! Hi Lan Duke and Sebastian! Linus, my girlfriend isnt very fond of my tech nerdiness. How can I get her to fully understand how cool computers are. Also, you review so many vacumes, which one do u use?
 
Reply to Emilian A
Reply @Emilian A! No need for everyone to share in the same hobby | guess. Linus uses whatever is the latest one we get around.
  Russell H
Thanks, Russell H! Pin! Happy Friday DLL!

  Cody C
Thanks, Cody C! I'm sorry, but trade up contracts have existed in counterstrike for over a decade. The difference was adding gloves and knives to the prize pool. Just had to get it out there lol. That's insane!

Thanks, Dan J! We learned in 4th grade, but I think the teacher was going for extra credit. I learned a thing! Say "I" if you'd say it alone (I went). Say "me" if you'd say (with me) - never with I.
