Thanks, Chantel V! Hey DLL, with the rise in handheld prices (steamdeck), do you think the market for these machines is going to significantly decline? They seem significantly less value for performance with this raise.

  Hunter T
Thanks, Hunter T! First-time dad-to-be here! Linus, is it worth investing in high-quality, durable toys for kids, or do you just accept everything will get broken or outgrown anyway?

Thanks, Adam K! Hey .dll, I'm a huge fan of your tall shirts — very happy they now come with designs! But why don't the other apparel lines (polos, the UV collection) have tall versions? Could you fix that?

Reply @Adam K! We're working on expanding the line as much as possible. Slowly slowly.
  Bradley M
Thanks, Bradley M! Hey all, with the rise in the "You'll Own Nothing & Like It" messaging from a growing list of companies, do you expect a rise in smaller companies creating open alternative software & hardware options

Thanks, Daniel B! Hey LLD, When you eventually retire from content creation, do you see yourself sticking with a single device? Or rather in a retirement home roping Luke into a Temple OS Challenge?

Thanks, Ryan M! I can't wait for the new framework screen. Do you think anyone will make some real headway into repairable phones?

Reply @Ryan M! I really hoped they would take off, but I think the minority of people who care about right to repair is smaller than I hoped for... I'll keep fighting...

Reply @Daequan C! Like with everything! Ask lots of questions. Especially about life working in an office in general, as it's a weird environment for sure.
  Antulio R
Thanks, Antulio R! Hi guys! When the AI hype eventually settles, if it ever does, where do you think it'll land in our lives? Does it become as important as our phone? or fade into more of a background utility? Thanks!

Thanks, Anonymous! Hey DLL, Local AI has gotten amazing (I run Gemma 4:26b @ ~15t/s on just CPU). Any incoming local LLM content? Do you feel folks are too exhausted of AI to discuss the privacy/ownership benefits?

  Tyler W
Thanks, Tyler W! Here in the US there is alot of pushback against Data Centers being built, Some of the argument for them is that everything we do online requires data centers. What do you guys think?
 
Reply to Tyler W
Reply @Tyler W! Everything we do online does not require GPU compute in the trillions of dollars. YouTube MAYBE gets a pass. But that's like, you don't need that much...

Thanks, Daniel T! In past WAN shows Linus and Luke both expressed they want to like Windows again. What would be your line to never support Microsoft? Or how bad does it have to get before MS is actually dead to you?
 
Reply to Daniel T
Reply @Daniel T! Windows 11 but worse. I'm sure they can find a way to make it even worse but the mind reels. I'm going to stay on 10 until something better comes along.
