If macOS gaming becomes more popular due to the new DirectX to Metal translation layer, do you see yourselves doing a Mac challenge along the lines of the Linux and AMD challenges?

I get ads for diode lasers claiming they can cut 10mm thick materials. As someone who uses a 40W CO2 laser cutter, it seems far fetched. I can barely cut 3mm. Whats your experience with diode lasers?
Reply @Samuel R!
Slightly too dangerous for us, but if they are pulsed they can be kinda
nuts. We're looking at a couple, but our laser safety officer is freaking
out.

LLD - what's your thoughts on a fold or flip phone with a e-ink outer screen if it helped significantly with battery life? Also, any thoughts adding mountable metal sheets/strips to put on the bottom

Hello DLL crew, planning on gifting one of these two screwdrivers to an IT person who builds 5 or so computers a week, but I'm unsure which of these to gift. Is there any screwdriver you prefer?

First, congratulations to Riley on winning the Quickbits naming war, even with Linus resisting a bit. I also want to thank you guys as you are my way to keep in touch with technology.

With the recent US DoJ suit against Apple, do you see a return to the monopoly-busting attitude govts use to have being likely? Or is this just a lucky fluke?

Hey LDD! Will the backpack zipper change tool be compatible with 3rd party zippers? I like to travel with the backpack and it would be nice to securely lock the back when I don't have a safe. Thanks!

Hi WAN.dLL! Why do you think people have so much difficulty in differentiating between things being bad and simply not being the target audience? Appreciate the great products & level-headed
Reply @Jack S!
Because everyone is self-centered in an interesting way. I'd go as far to
say as people who say successful products are bad lack some
empathy.

You guys were talking about bandwidth in previous wans. With you multistreaming to twitch, floatplane, youtube, and I believe x. How much bandwidth/data do you use? P.S. my uploads are 1/20
Thanks, Joe B!
We havnt really talked about starship progress. elon being eccentric aside, in 5-10 years when we are beginning our new off world tech journey, will LTT follow it, or do the tech tips stay on earth?
Thanks, Justin F!
Luke and Linus, Always dreamed that one day I'd end up working alongside you all. Your passion for what you do definitely shows. Thanks for the hours of entertainment and quality merch.

Hi DLL! Recently my cat chewed through my headphone cable and finding a place to repair them locally has not been possible. Know why do you need to send them back to the manufacturer for repairs?

I have a pair of Monitors (AW 34" OLED). They randomly need to be unplugged to wake from sleep mode and my disabilities make it hard. Thoughts on feasibly splicing a reset switch into power cable?

Even better, they say remote operated outlets normally for lights. I have one to turn my 3D printer off. Just click on and off with a remote.

Product idea: a pouch that can hold any controller(s) from the OG XBox
Duke and N64 Trident to a NES controller, as an addon to the magnetic
stuff and that can be stuck next to you on a desk or PC.

hi DLL. why is that 8tb m.2 ssds cost so much more than a 4tb ssd? as of right now. an 4tb is about 200 on newegg. an 8tb ssd is 800. 4x the price for 2x the capacity. why is this a thing?
Reply @Damon h!
Mostly because the 8tb is probably a newer size offering. The highest density normally has the highest price and then things slowly come down.
Thanks, Kate R!
Just assembled a sit/stand desk using one of my trusty LTT screwdrivers. But now I need a new deskpad to go on my fancy new desk. Thanks for the quality gear!

Does Labs have any plans to test audio receivers and home theater speakers? I have a Denon AVR and klipsch 7.2.2 system and and receiver specs are notoriously cryptic/vague. E.g. W/Ch isn't clear.

I'd like to see the destruction of man kind, mostly because it would be neat. I'd like it to not fail, like, be physically impossible or something. That would be sad.
