  Michiel S
Thanks, Michiel S! Hi Linus, Luke and friends. You've told us your son is into 3D printing, but did you yourself ever design and or print something? To any of you: What is your favourite print?
 
Reply to Michiel S
Reply @Michiel S! Not too much but most of us around the office do. My favorite is a new nubbin for my weed whacker. Super consumable part and was pretty sick.
  Brian L
Thanks, Brian L! I'm just here hoping Linus complains about passkeys, then describes a problematic workflow that is clearly not using a passkey. Again.

Thanks, Caden C! Hello LSD. I mean LLD. I am just about to start a cyberceurity & networking program in BC and won't be finished for a few years. In the future, do you see AI replacing jobs in this line of work?

Reply @Theodore C! That sounds like a sick idea. Will throw it in the pitches.
  Jeff W
Thanks, Jeff W! Hi DLL. Viewer since NCIX, first merch message. A lot of employers require black pants, so is there any chance black cargo pants are coming? Also, any chance the WAN corkboard will come back?

  Jade P
Thanks, Jade P! I'm currently running a 4070ti watercooled. Would it be worth it for a 5070ti at msrp. Ive always kind of been a 2 generation type of guy. But everyone seems to think that 60 series may be years.
 
Reply to Jade P
Reply @Jade P! It's almost impossible to tell depending on everyone's situation. Might be a good post on the forum, things change constantly.

  Eric M
Thanks, Eric M! With the ram shortage, do you think game developers will see a need to invest in optimizing their games (say if most of their players are running 8gb cards)
 
Reply to Eric M
Reply @Eric M! Really hard to even use most of a cards vram but I think the aging hardware will become the biggest issue.
