Thanks, Nicholas F! LDL, with discussion of cybersecurity on WAN but knowing videos of the topic aren't super profitable. With the surgence of "LMG in the field" videos, would you consider a return to Blackhat / Defcon?

Reply @Nicholas F! Would love us to hop over to Defcon. I know Luke was there last year.

Thanks, Anonymous! Lifelong PC gamer and WFH Windows user. I now use a MacBook faster than my PC, and a PS5 Pro. I can't see myself

Reply @Anonymous! Mostly just the business software support, or any of my music software. I'm a bit of an Ableton diehard, and sadly

Thanks, Zachary J! Hello wan.dll, Long time viewer first time messager! I have to know if there are more stubby colorways coming?! For now, I will steal this stubby I bought for my dad ;-) Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Andrew P! Hello LLD. For linus, are there any plans to bring back the waffle long sleeve? Its my favorite long sleeve but I only got one before they were gone.

Joshua H

Thanks, Joshua H! Hello DLL! Question for Luke. Have you heard of The Lantern of the Laughless Saint? Stated as the spiritual successor to Morrowind, the trailer is amazing and starts by saying Beep you Todd Howard!

Henry L

Thanks, Henry L! Do you still have the gold Xbox controller? If so might I suggest a hopefully more successful follow up, gold Steam Deck?

35:44 31:27

Reply to Henry L

Reply @Henry L! We still do! I don't think we can afford any more gold.

Taylor K

Thanks, Taylor K! Hey WAN Show! 10 years of abuse, and the bumpers on my OG Razer Wildcat are failing. Is Linus/David's controller roundup from a year ago still sound? Should I try and get a Steam Controller? Cheers.

Brendon S

Thanks, Brendon S! Howdy LDL, finally remembered to use my coin lol. Switched to Cachy during the Linux challenge and it's been FUN! Any workarounds/discoveries/happy accidents you found that didn't make it in videos?

Jacqueline H

Thanks, Jacqueline H! Hi Linus, so when I'm on Character.ai (only on for the articles) I have seen quite a few LTT advertisements on there. Do you have any thoughts on where your ads are shown, or is it just ads being ads?

Shubham G

Thanks, Shubham G! With Floatplane, are you planning on increasing your list of channels or at least licensing the live streaming tech stack? Also, allow different channels outside of the tech space?

01:09:34 01:05:17

Reply to Shubham G

Reply @Shubham G! We still do take on new channels, but it's not for everyone due to increased workload. Maybe in the future though we'll license. I'm sure we have other tech channels.

Thanks, Anonymous! Great screwdrivers. I came back for some accessories. Question to Linus, how much do your company spend on AI tools? What is the ROI?

01:26:20 01:22:03

Reply to Anonymous

Reply @Anonymous! AFAIK we're not really spending much beyond a couple subs. I'm working on doing some AI analysis stuff but that will all be local... so yeah.

David K

Thanks, David K! Hey nerds, Greetings from the weekly watch party at Vault 31 Bar. Picking up some merch for our next Bingo night. Have y'all thought about creating LTT bar merch? Glasses, bar mats, shakers, etc?

Reply @David K! I would love to. But these guys don't even drink. I wanna take shots from a mini linus head.

Thanks, Jake G! Dear DLL, Today A Lowly "Help desk" Employee (More Like Jr. Sys Admin ) made a Career Check point by getting a Badge for A Real Data Center / Field trip. What was a good Careek Check point you had? JG

Matthew P

Thanks, Matthew P! Updates on HexOS last week sound great, but my concern is the "local" dashboard still requires a persistent internet connection for license checks. To me, that's not local. What are your thoughts?

01:51:20 01:47:03

Alexander J

Thanks, Alexander J! hey guys! are you guys running any local LLM at home and if so which one?

Thanks, James K! Appreciate you guys being late - Allows me to second-screen watch from Australia With everything you've all learnt using Linux recently. Would you consider a LinuxTips or "nixTips" series?

Kadin K

Thanks, Kadin K! Heyyo, I've been using LLMs more and I wondered what your thoughts are long term affects of talking with AI. People often imitate how others sound, so will we reach a day where people talk like AI?

Reply @Kadin K! Pretty scary people have been thinking that other people talk like they do. It's all spooky.
