Thanks, Tyler P! Really loved the BTS of the Average PC. Any chance to see a full VOD of the BTS of a video shoot? Light edits, but mostly start to finish off whichever host's shots for that video?

Thanks, Matthew B! Hey Linus and Luke, long time watcher, first time caller. I'm planning on going to LTX this year. I also got a LTT store gift card for the holidays. Can I apply the gift card towards my LTX ticket?
 
Reply to Matthew B
Reply @Matthew B! Sadly no. The LTX ticket store isn't connected to lttstore.com and probably cant be connected. Going to get up an FAQ today | hope.

  SaveSmokey
Thanks, SaveSmokey! Now that the 7900 & 4090 enable 120+ fps at 4 without upscaling and 8k never seeming worth it, will we see a decline in PC upgrades? Will DLSS/FSR start to phase out?
 
Reply to SaveSmokey
Reply @SaveSmokey! Heck no. 4090 can't even push those levels of frames without AI, so I expect lots more raw power becoming available along with AI. Double edged sword now.

Thanks, Danny S! Today I was offered a job in IT, hearing your stories helped me have the strength to fight for my passion! If you were sent 10 years into the future from today, do you think you could still contribute to LMG? if so

Reply @Danny S! Couple weeks ago L/L had a really heartfelt discussion about doing it all again from the start. I'm not sure I can put them through it again. I'm sure they wouldn't be able to.

Thanks, James M! Is there a reason that people don't talk about the propensity for mechanical keyboards to have keys get knocked off while gaming? This is enough of a problem that I want to go back to a membrane keyboard,

Thanks, pathmaker117! Just got my screwdriver in the mail as well as all of the bit expansion packs, is there a plan for a bit case similar to the case iFixit has for their screwdrivers for the extra bits to be carried in?
 
Reply to pathmaker117
Reply @pathmaker117! Something in the works, but naturally we want it to be good. Really a tough call. Frustrating for me too, as I haven't bothered to 3D print a thing.

Thanks, Braxton C! Need some trunks for my upcoming vacation. An actual question. How much storage does your Plex server have and how many movies/shows do you have

  William P
Thanks, William P! Is the a good/user friendly solution for two people to have storage in two different physical locations they can share to satisfy the "offsite" backup requirement for data protection?
 
Reply to William P
Reply @William P! I adore SyncThing for this task. If they are buds and both have NAS servers in their homes it works great. Can be anywhere in the world too.
