Hi! Long time viewer (since Langley house) and Bay Area Electronics Engineer. Are there still aspirations for an LMG produced electronic products? If so, what troubles/issues have been encountered?
Reply @Francis W!
There is actually! We have a few in the works currently. I think a lot of the issues stem from us not having dome them before. We're working into it slowly with stuff like cables.
Thanks, Damien V!
Hey DLL, made a dumb mistake but wanted to provide some feedback. I bought a JRE knife with the bread. A 1 line warning about bundling with pre-order shipping in a product description. Not great imo
Thanks, Bryon W!
Curate this Dan or else... Any chance you will bring do an event where you can make your own customer color screw driver again? Bought this one to match my vehicle. Also hi Ky and Kels
Thanks, Dan G!
Long time fan, first time merch message. Thank you for all the entertainment over the years. DLL: what is your opinion of self driving cars.
Thanks, Shane D!
I love you Dan! ...Oh and Luke & Linus too! I love the LTT video opening with the SuperNova theme. Why isn't it used anymore except in the AMD Tech Upgrade videos? Will you please bring it back?
Thanks, Mingi W!
Are u planning to shorten your jacket's sleeve length? Always wanted to buy a windbreaker/3D down, but those medium sleeves of Emily/Dennis go all the way to the fingers. Waist heigh is perfect tho.
Thanks, John S!
Having used both Windows and 0SX/MacOs devices since 2004, I feel like Windows devices tend to have frustrating software issues while MacOS leans toward frustrating hardware issues. Your thoughts?
Reply @John S!
All three of them suck for their own reasons and computers in general are hell top to bottom. Pick which pit full of snakes to fall into. I've seen the opposite of what you said.
Thanks, Anonymous!
As someone who works for the New York State Legislature, the
Assembly is not in session, and the bill is introduced, not even in
committee. Don't get me wrong, this is stupid, but actually nothing.
Thanks, isaiah k!
do you think that windows will ever get rid of the please activate water mark it is already pretty much free why not go the full mile especially as Linux continues to improve
Thanks, Karl G!
On my way from Sweden back to the States with my trusty backpack
and tech sack. Had to pick up another toy for my soon to arrive
daughter. How she likes WAN show too;)
Thanks, Ben G!
Hey DLL, I've been running custom loop water cooling for about two years now and the only maintenance I've done has been topping of coolant and dusting. Is there anything else I should be doing.
Thanks, Shelby P!
I wanted to let you know that we are fostering a really shy rescue dog
and a couple of nights ago, he was whining at 4am. To help him feel
comfy, we beamed WAN Show to his TV and he calmed right down!
Thanks, Isaac B!
Hey DLL. I've been a viewer for many years, and it seems like you guys are in youtubes good graces, however LTT videos never show in my reccomended. Only SC and live video. I have to search everytime.
Thanks, Jordan W!
DLI, When Lie-nus & co chose to kill AMD that would kill off most of the great handhelds we're seeing released, including steam deck and by association the year of Linn-ux. Why kill AMD over intel?
Thanks, Julio H!
Hey Linus idk if your still looking for a smartwatch but you should look into the garmin fenix line. They are simple watches with long battery life's. Plus they have physical buttons to changes songs.
Thanks, Ford F!
Klein Tools sells a screwdriver that comes with an RJ45 Punchdown bit,
but it's unfortunately the double-sided type of bit that does not work in
an LTT driver. Would you consider making one as well?
Thanks, Nick C!
Hi DLL! Any updates on LTT cables, or the LTT belt? Love watching old WAN shows, Linus makes some scary good guesses(ROG ally). PS, the water bottle ink "melts" if you get DEET bug spray on it
Thanks, Maxwell B!
Hey LLD Referring back to Darn Tough's warranty: you can actually make infinite replacement warranty claims on the "same" socks. Would LTT ever adopt a similar policy? The value prop is tough to beat.
Thanks, Andrea F!
Hey LLD happy Saturday arvo from Australia. Now that you're no longer CEO Linus, will you still be able to continue spending company money on "home projects" and filming content on it?
Thanks, Brandon M!
Hello LDL, long time listener first time caller. How does someone who's tangentially in the tech space weed out the hype and know where to put my money? Besides LTT of course. Love all that you do <3
Reply @Brandon M!
I think if people could they would be very wealthy. In general hype is all fake all the time. Tech is a slow burn, it's hard these days to have a "new thing" which isn't often bad.
Thanks, Federico S!
Hi LLD, any plans to implement AI tools in the LTT production workflow? If so, how? I'm trying to introduce them in the company I work for, but I'm getting a lot of push back.
Reply @Federico S!
I poked at a couple a while ago, but it's hard to find what they are useful for. They are creative tools right now, but not quite a hammer.
Thanks, Edward L!
I actually already made my pc using an LTT guide, but I work with computers all the time and need a convenient tool to carry around the school. I paired a 13700k with a 4060 to wait for next gen.TYVM
Thanks, CARLOS B!
Hey Linus, Luke and Mr. Bread man. I remember a video where you guys were fighting using crappy airsoft guns. That was the only time I have seen Linus in real pain in a video. Am I wrong?
Thanks, Scott G!
I typically listen to youtube videos while doing things as background noise but now I need to actually study from youtube videos. Any tips on staying focused/motivated without youtube in background?
Thanks, Brian!
How do you guys keep getting Emmy award winning actor, Tony Shalhoub, to appear in your videos. How is he so knowledgeable about tech? Is he a personal friend?
Thanks, Brian L!
Hi Linus, you mentioned cargo shorts aren't selling as well as you expected. I like the design, but a 9" inseam is way too short. I would buy them if it was 11" or 12". Am I the only one?
Thanks, Michelle R!
Hi guys, I've been a fan for a while. one of the rare women who watch
lol. smy question is would you upgrade a 1650 on an i5 9th gen intel?
love what you do
Thanks, Mahdi C!
Hi LLD, Love the show. Just started my new job after grad school & the first thing I took to the office was my LTT Northern Light Desk pad & people are loving it! Wish we could get some T-shirts too.
Thanks, Michael G!
Going back to window snapping tools: as a Mac and Windows 32:9 ultrawide owner, it is absolutely essential to use a 3rd party window snapping (like FancyZones) for Windows too.
Thanks, Zachary L!
Hello LLD, do you think we could see Valve implement both methods of tracking for deckard. With outside in being an upgrade path for enthusiasts but not required.
Thanks, Jake G!
Question for Jake, I work IT and we are looking at replacing door access
and Ubiquiti door access control what are some strong points that I can
use to pitch it?
Reply @Jake G!
They are a closed ecosystem, it's easy for very new admins to maintain.
Requires moving everything over to Unifi's cloud key system so all of it
plays together. Great AIO system.
Thanks, Sam H!
Hey all! Put in an A$620 order this week, exchange rate had me at just
over U$1K :( I wanted to say I appreciate the corrective edits in videos,
and the sponsor spot moving back to the intro a LOT!
Thanks, Ody M!
Looking back, what would you say was your single most impactful purchase? Like a tool or item you bought for work/content creation e.t.c.
Thanks, Thomas V!
What are some examples of tech making a process longer/more tedious? I recently saw a kid touch the screen instead of pressing tab when putting in their user/pass.
Thanks, TopSponge Y!
I really enjoyed watching the secret shopper episodes. What do you think would happen if someone did a secret shopper for YouTuber merch, and LTTstore was secret-shopped?
Thanks, Keandre L!
Have you guys considered making more cat or pet themed merchandise? I wouldn't mind a cat backpack for taking my cat on walks and hikes.
Thanks, luke v!
Hi LLD as a grade 9 student nearby for Take Your Kid To Work Day, I was wondering if coming to LMG to shadow an employee was feasible just hoping for a way to contact the right person (Nick Callanan)
Thanks, David H!
Hello DLL! Are the staff of any of your companies allowed to use any
LLM-based tools in-house and do you have any protections or rules
around their use?
Reply @David H!
I haven't made any SOPs for them. I don't think it matters that much in our line of work. Honestly if it made lives easier we'd use them like anyone. They just don't really.
Thanks, Boris G!
Hi Everyone, from Mexico! Have you ever consider having local teams around the globe? My company does this while it has it challenge it has it benefits as well.
Thanks, Thomas J!
Luke - Do you have any recommended learning resources for web dev? I am a relatively new web developer that transitioned careers from embedded software development to web development in the past year
Thanks, Robert H!
I was one of the minority that bought the Light Mode pin - it's classy!
My R&D company finally caved and is buying a 3D printer for the lab.
What are some neat FDM uses you've found recently?
Thanks, Anonymous!
Heya, Timestamp Guy here. The water bottle you gifted last year has been great! The seals however became darker despite hand cleaning them - then again, coffee lol. Why not sell the seals on LTTStore?
Thanks, Alex C!
Thanks to you i found out about framework, and my 7840u 13" will be arriving by end of year. Also, i saw what looked like an Ltt ifixit driver in your newest video do we have any updates for that.
Thanks, Deion S!
Hey LLD, I work for the US air force as a computer scientist, and I am very curious as to what you think about the use of AI in war machines, ie targeting and firing (sry dnt see it go thr if it did
Thanks, Anonymous!
I work in IT for a $26B company that loves to keep Servers / Storage / Network equipment well past its Service Life. 7-10 years. What would you say to convince the C-Suite we need to modernize?
Reply @Anonymous!
It will cost X now. And if you don't it will cost you XX in X years. Is this
within the realm of acceptable risk? Have you properly evaluated your
risk exposure due to this?
Thanks, Jordan M!
Linus said that he liked the Note 9's S Pen remote camera shutter button, but S Pen Pro has that for the Folds. There's a 3D printable S Pen Pro case for Fold 3/5, along the side and still very slim.
Thanks, Sawyer L!
Hey guys, sad I missed out on the Luke Nukem Tee :( also I'm curious to know if you have any security focused videos in the works? I really enjoyed the video about the suspicious USB charging cables
Thanks, Jeremiah R!
Hi LDL I was wondering if you would ever consider selling plastic water bottles. It would cool to be able to buy a high quality plastic bottle with a nice design on the outside.
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hey LLD, I enjoy the content. I am finally decomming my old home server. It has been hosting my files, AD, e-mail, etc. for the last 12 years. What tech has quietly just worked for you the longest?
Thanks, Ryan B!
Who designed the LTX Vancouver landscape and sky line mouse/desk pad? It's so gorgeous. It is too nice to be under my keyboard and mouse so I have it on display now!
Thanks, David L!
I just finished my first big tour with my own production company after
2 years of struggling to even make rent. How did you know when it was
the right time to expand your company for the long term?

Will there be more women's clothing coming down the line? Last I heard there was work on leggings, but it's been silent for a while.
Thanks, Patrick C!
Hey DLL, My Co-Worker recently admitted they put cream cheese on their PB&J. He convinced a second co-worker tried it and now he also swears by it...what are your thoughts about this abomination?
Reply @Patrick C!
Oh good god that might actually be nice. Although I keep buying herb and garlic... so might need to try with some tangy ones. Oh god oh no
Reply @Micha A!
People don't know what they want. Be nice to people, but gauging their
level of knowledge is a great skill. "Hey do you have specific model
number" vs "I want a laptop for gaming"
Thanks, Roger R!
Hi DLL! What is one lesser known/dead IP retro game you find yourself thinking about once in a blue moon. Mine is a random unicycle racing game my cousin had on their SNES.
Thanks, Lee B!
Any thoughts on the trend of enterprise software like SAP becoming more friendly to novice users? Good UX is fine, but we old school fools miss the convenience of command lines and transaction codes.
Thanks, Deion S!
Yo LLD, I work in the air force as a computer scientist and there has been a topic that worries me, what are your thoughts on the use of AI in deadly war machines. i.e. targeting and/or firing
Thanks, Juan N!
Hi Lee-noose, Look, and Dan! I usually watch this over the week on my comute to work but everytime you say OK and the name of a certain company the phone picks it up. Could you say it differently pls?
Thanks, Terrence S!
Have you ever considered a video like the secret shopper videos, but looking at warrant claims? I've been waiting a month for Meta to ship my replacement for my stick drifting controller.
Thanks, Dominic W!
Have any of y'all looked at the game, Six days in Fallujah? It's not full release yet but the the map randomization is pretty cook. Love the screwdriver btw.
Thanks, Donald W!
Hey DLL I love all your videos keep up the great work! | have an honest
question would you ever consider doing a secret shopper based off of
going to electronic stores like Best Buy and Staples?
Thanks, Andrei M!
Hi LLD, was wondering if there is any new scrapyard wars in the works and if you've thought about doing it overseas, maybe in the UK where language wouldn't be a barrier, or if its totally unrealistic
Thanks, AARON D!
Doing my part for the WAN Table Repair fund. Our dept started having a competition with Legos to see which division could decorate their cubicles with the most. Do any LTT depts do anything similar?
Reply @AARON D!
Yeah! Lots of people decorate their spaces. I know someone who has a
cute little Isabelle figure, you know from Animal Crossing? She's in a
tiny jar for some reason. Adorable.
Thanks, Brian!
How often do WAN show merch ideas make it to market? Like Free-range Design shirt of a hand touching grass, or $250 pin that comes with a free backpack, or New Christmas album?
Thanks, Aaron S!
Hello DLL, I've been watching since the garage days and just landed a job in healthcare informatics. Awhile ago you teased a laptop messenger bag and was wondering how far along that is in production
Thanks, Mark E!
Thanks Jackson and Mitchell from Customer Service! You guys rock!
G'day from West Aus. DLL! Do you guys have any plans for long pants
like Chinos or similar in future? Tired of average quality pant
Thanks, Riley D!
Linus, The website "The True Size Of" allows you to grab the outline of a state or nation and drag it along, adjusting for the stretch. You should check it out.
Thanks, Joshua C!
Hey Linus, why don't you make riding gear? Like pants with Kevlar lining and knee pockets where we could add our own drop-in armour pads, so it could also be used as normal, comfortable pants.
Thanks, David V!
Hey CS grad here. I made an app using eBay APIs to fetch used PC parts prices and calculate gaming value by fps metrics from Tom's HW. Will LTT labs do something like this in the future?
Thanks, Anonymous!
Luke, what aspects of Linus have changed over the years, and why are/aren't you ok with those changes? Linus said that you told him he had changed in the "what is it like to work for Linus" video.
Thanks, Tim F!
FINALLY THE LUX BACKPACK! Can't wait to abuse the f* out of it :) L,
curious if you have any tips for maintaining mental health, keep from spiraling, wallowing etc. Also, been loving your Starfield PT
Thanks, Rigoberto V!
Linus, how do you and Yvonne decide which/how many extra curriculars your kids do? You've mentioned piano practice before. How would you approach your kids saying they don’t want to play anymore?
Reply @Rigoberto V!
It's a mix of required subjects and ones they provide feedback to us on.
They *must* learn to swim, but dance is optional, for example -LS
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hey LLD, my wife and I just had our second child! Linus, what was it like introducing another kid into your family life and work life? Wifey says hi!!
Thanks, LUCAS R!
Mac modifiers are better. Cmnd is easier to reach with thumb than ctrl
with pinky. But I'm building my first windows pc this weekend so where
can | learn to go as deep into windows as | can with mac0S
Reply @LUCAS R!
Whatever you're used to | guess. I'm sure most people don't even use
shortcuts. There's more deep information on windows than macos. So
literally anywhere online.
Thanks, Josh W!
Hey LLD! Love the show and the journey LTT has been on. I appreciate the renewed commitment to quality, but I'm wondering: What are the downsides of reposting a video like Secret Shopper 3 Part 2?
Thanks, Chris W!
Hi guys! My wife and I are expecting our first baby and we recently found out we're having a girl! Do you have any advice for encouraging a girl's interest in tech? Thanks!

Linus, what made you decide to promote James? What made him suitable to be a manager? Why did you choose him over the others? I miss him writing videos for LTT and doing the NAW Show with Luke.
Thanks, Isaac N!
I had an interview today and they asked me a question I was wondering what your response would be. What is one thing you've done professionally that you would never do again?
Thanks, Konrad B!
With the as a service model seemingly invading every market, do you think there will ever be a tipping point? Where the market pushes back and wants to outright own/manage these products themselves?
Thanks, Robert G!
I have never used the preset buttons on my microwave( ex: popcorn, chicken, etc). If ai could actually predict the right settings do you think you would use it for you appliances?
Thanks, Mike B!
Hi Linus and Luke. Long time fan, finally buying this awesome water bottle, quick question, micro sd, external ssd, or large format usb stick for storing movie library Long term (5 to 10 years)?
Thanks, Nicholas F!
Hello DLL, after amazing costumer service from Ltt store on something I broke compared to the worst I've experienced from geek squad, what is the worst rma/customer experience you guys have had?
Thanks, Michael A!
I work in pro AV, and products are ditching local config for cloud based config, which is a good way to end up with a paper weight if a company goes under. What products have you seen that happen to?
Thanks, Rowan M!
If it's so hard to replicate Darn Tuff socks to Linus' exacting standards,
why not just sell Darn Tuff socks on lttstore.com? You could probably
even work with them to make custom designs.
