Thanks, Joshua B! Hey Linus and Luke, what do you believe the benefits of automation actually are, and how should the human race limit ourselves in its implementation? Is something like OpenClaw eventually feasible?

  Oliver T
Thanks, Oliver T! Hello COMrades, Sound at frequencies above and below the range of human hearing has been reported as another environmental impact of data centers, has sound ever made you sick?

Reply @Oliver T! Yeah infra sound is spooky. The only sound that makes me sick is Linus' voice.

  Andre B
Thanks, Andre B! Hi LLD, Love my commuter backpack and its size, but I got a laptop upgrade at work and went from 15.6" to 16” and now it's too small. Any consideration on a commuter XL for larger laptops?
 
Reply to Andre B
Reply @Andre B! Perhaps in the future. Not in the cards at the moment though.
  Kessler M
Thanks, Kessler M! Hey DLL, | listen to the Wan show while driving my semi truck. What do you think about driverless or Autonomous semi trucks on the road? A lot heavier than a 4 door car. Usually 80k Ibs or more.
 
Reply to Kessler M
Reply @Kessler M! I don't even think the cars we have now are safe... Absolutely not.
  Stanislav G
Thanks, Stanislav G! » hit what you think about single player games what drasticly change their system? (I am of few who does not like Cyberpunk 2.0, and think 1.31 was the best). But not only CP done that.
 
Reply to Stanislav G
Reply @Stanislav G! I didn't like what they did to netrunning. I went to try a new build and it was not to my taste. I think it happens, and sometimes it's sad but maybe it makes the game better. :/
  Dmitry B
Thanks, Dmitry B! Hi, gang. Thinking about age verification, who do you think would be able to reliably figure out and implement safe age verification? Maybe Steam? Maybe DEF CON?

Thanks, Jonathan W! Hey LLD, do you feel like since hiring an infrastructure team you've lost content? I loved the more networking and server content and explanation of processes but feel like it's disappeared a little.

Thanks, Dustan D! Would you two play a open world game where humanity died. Cloning became successful and AI controls it. Everyone was backed up. Random errors occur causing mutation at creation.

Thanks, Eric E! Linus, is there a reason LTTStore doesn't sell the extra long hook & loop cable ties that come with the power brick MCM bundle by themselves? Good cable ties are hard to find.
