Thanks, Steven F! I'm expecting my first baby this April! What should I look for / avoid when it comes to baby/newborn tech?
 
Reply to Steven F
Reply @Steven F! Careful of the baby monitors. Some of them leak data pretty bad.
  Teddy M
Thanks, Teddy M! You have spoken in the past about your personal ethic of piracy. How does seeding play into this? Is it more giving back or helping others circumvent payment?
 
Reply to Teddy M
Reply @Teddy M! Seed until you bleed.
  Jon C
Thanks, Jon C! Dan, please, I know it's not cool to ask about restocks but I've been refreshing LTTstore every day to see if long sleeve tall 2xL shirt blanks are back. any idea when that might be?
 
Reply to Jon C
Reply @Jon C! We actually don't know I'm sorry this is such a weak answer every time. Ask the support beans.
  Ian C
Thanks, Ian C! Would you ever do more content on SoHo HA like the storage server, or stuff like clustered VMs on a Holysh!t?

Thanks, TED P! Any advice on how to get out of burnout as fellow tech guys? I've been a developer/manager for around 12 years and can't seem to get out of the burnout cycle.
 
Reply to TED P
Reply @TED P! Toil is a major driver. Nothing getting done, just working towards what feels like nothing. I find it nicer to break things into smaller chunks.
  Philip B
Thanks, Philip B! Hello Sunil, Ekul, and Nad! Could the Tech House show best practices for a tech forward AirBnB from the owner's perspective? I've always wondered how to make an automated house guest friendly.
 
Reply to Philip B
Reply @Philip B! I personally feel that AirBnB should not exist anymore. Especially not in Vancouver so probably not, no.
  Mikhail D
Thanks, Mikhail D! Chromecast is dying, TV Apps are trash, I need something that replicates that functionality. Budget is it has to work, and is silent. What do you recommend?
