  Francis W
Thanks, Francis W! 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 to Francis W
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

Reply @Shane D! Engagement numbers drop when people skip the intro, which YouTube gets angry about.

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?

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.
  Ford F
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?

Reply @Ford F! Maybe one day.
  Nick C
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
 
Reply to Nick C
Reply @Nick C! In progress! Getting closer.
  Maxwell B
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.
 
Reply to Maxwell B
Reply @Maxwell B! We'll have to see. I'm pretty sure Linus will continue as we were but who knows at this point.
  Andrea F
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?

  Brandon M
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 to Brandon M
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.
  Federico S
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 to Federico S
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, Douglas A! Will there ever be a fidget toy using the ratchet from the screwdriver? something about that was mention in previous wanshows.
 
Reply to Douglas A
Reply @Douglas A! Oh yeah probably. So much of our stuff is designed with fidget in mind.
  Brian
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?
 
Reply to Brian
Reply @Brian! Not always but it does happen. It's a good place for inspiration. I am scared for what Linus is going to be planning with the album.
  Aaron S
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
 
Reply to Aaron S
Reply @Aaron S! Still in the works. Linus will leak more of it when it approaches I guess.
  Mark E
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

Reply @Mark E! Maybe in the future. Got a bunch of new stuff in the works.

  Riley D
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.
 
Reply to Riley D
Reply @Riley D! Linus is small enough. Let him have this one.
  Jonathan B
Thanks, Jonathan B! I am interested in purchasing an XG Mobile 3080 for my ROG Ally instead of buying a new gaming laptop. Wise choice?

  Joshua C
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.
 
Reply to Joshua C
Reply @Joshua C! Very hard. Might be something to look into in the future.
  marc d
Thanks, marc d! Linus will you ever get pay back for the fake pregnancy Yvonne and Jake (i think) did a while a go on Channel Super Fun?

Reply @marc d! Probably not at this point
  David V
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?
 
Reply to David V
Reply @David V! It's certainly a possibility. We're working on a bunch of metrics and not everything is totally finalized yet.

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
 
Reply to Tim F
Reply @Tim F! Keeping busy is a big one for me. Idle time is spiral time, but YMMV. There's nothing wrong with seeking advice from a pro -LS
  Rigoberto V
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 to Rigoberto V
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, 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 to LUCAS R
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, Anonymous! 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.

  Konrad B
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?
  Robert G
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?

  Michael A
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.
