My wife wants to know if the puzzle is coming back. We got the "one piece" on black Friday, and she really wants to build it herself
Thanks, Nathan A!
Hey LLD | aquired a free cheap laptop with only 32 gigs of storage, what
os should i install on it that wont take up the entire thing since its
soldered onto the mobo and not upgradeable
Thanks, Jedidiah A!
DLL, Long time viewer, big fan, I am big on tech, where do you see tech going in the next 5 to 10 years? is I.T. on the way out as people fix their own products?
Reply @Jedidiah A!
Even more service based. I think software is going to become subscriptions, and hardware worthless. Bad example is iPhone is free, but to use iOS on it you have to pay $20 a month.
Thanks, Aiden C!
Hello DLL, Linus, can you explain the aftermath of the wrench drop incident where you hit a car. Also, week 7 of asking for gold screwdriver (possibly last)
Reply @Aiden C!
Not really too much. Linus paid out the insurance and the damage wasn't that bad. Also, probably not going to be doing a gold screwdriver. I'm so sorry.
Thanks, Benjamin W!
Buying this WAN hoodie before it disappears forever! More Dan Show!
My daughter loved using the LTT screwdriver at 1.5 yrs old. When is a
kid's version coming out?
Thanks, Justin O!
Hi Dan & crew. This is my first apple themed purchase ever. Yay.
Question for all 3, What's the biggest lemon experience/product you've
ever had from Apple and thoughts on their first VR headset?
Reply @Justin O!
Macbook 2010-2011 had an issue where the gpu would delaminate and
make the system unusable without switching to internal graphics.
Apple Vision is a topic for later!
Reply @Jonathan L!
Printers do suck. But honestly literally just computers in general. Evil evil things. They were a mistake. I want to go live in the forest and farm truffles. Rocks shouldn't think.
Thanks, Matthew C!
Hi Luke and Linus, While I usually hate subscription models, Ive often wondered if sports games would be better off with a subscription model since they largely release minor changes year over year.
Thanks, Jimmy A!
Hey DLL, I've found that streamers (Apple TV, Fire stick, Chromecast) provide noticeably worse video quality than the software native on the TV, and I've tried several. Have you not noticed this?
Reply @Will B!
Seems pretty neat. I wonder what they are trying to do, or who they are
trying to strongarm. Kinda interesting to see where they are going with
it.
Thanks, Dominick R!
Every time I buy something I leave a merch message and it never shows up on screen, 4x now. Why? P.S. Please add annual floatplane option for OG subs. I feel bad most of that $3/mo is processing fees
Thanks, Gavin M!
Hey LLD.DLL! I'm about to graduate in astrophysics. I love astronomy and work at an observatory as an educator. Will you ever review telescopes/astro equipment (LTT/Labs)? Thanks for all you guys do!
Thanks, John K!
Hey DLL, considering everything Google has killed and how much you love to complain about it, when do you think LTT will be forced to switch to MS365? You're on Teams already...
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hey LLD.png, thanks for all the hard work. Since we all fear losing data.
Would you want a server that would never die and instantly backup
everything, but you could never delete anything off of it?
Thanks, Tucker S!
Hey DLL, after the Samsung event I was disappointed to hear that the new "AI Features" will only be free for 1 & 1/2 years after purchase of the device. What are your thoughts on free-for-now services
Thanks, ramon k!
Hey LLD! why do gaming mouses support such high dpi values if the first thing I need to do when setting a game is lower the sensitivity to 4% or so? shouldn't games support better high dpi?
Thanks, Samuel B!
Hey DLL. Was curious if any of you guys got the chance to see the inside of the sphere while in Vegas. I'm sure you guys see cool stuff all the time, but for me, the giant screen was breath taking.
Thanks, Eric U!
Hey .DLL, With focus on owning what you pay for, people still think the
only way to own games is physical. However stores like GOG, itch,
Bandcamp (for music) exist. Why do these always get forgotten?
Thanks, Joey G!
Hey DLL, my backpack has been doing great with the snow; the team did a great job. I'm curious, does the LAB use any SDRs(software defined radios) in their testing? If so, do you know what models?
Thanks, Tim B!
Hey DLL and Gino (my friend). Excited for my new work screwdriver. Have you considered a 90 degree angle head with your ratchet mechanism? I rack network gear all day and an angle bit is super
Thanks, Luis M!
Hi Luke and Linus! Finally scored my first Software Engineer job, so I'm treating myself to an LTT backpack! :) Keep up the great work!
Thanks, William H!
Salut LLD from Quebec City! I am soon to finish my Electronics Engineer diploma in Cégep Limoilou. Just curious of knowing if that kind of training would be useful for a company like LMG? Much Love!
Thanks, Joseph F!
You have discussed how bad Google search is: are you aware of how
good DDG has become? DDG search reached parity with Google ~4
years ago and is now far better, except for maps and web cache.
Thanks, andrew c!
What up guys. Recently i noticed that when i search for things on my TV it only shows paid content it used to give me a list of all the services a movie was on. thoughts?
Thanks, Payton K!
Hey LTT team long time viewer here, Got into my dream comp sci college. Any post-grad career advice? And or should I be worried about job saturation in tech?
Reply @Payton K!
Get that career goin’ There's so many niche micro-sectors that I'm still discovering even after years. Figure out a weird niche and you'll find work.
Thanks, Robert K!
Hi dll.wan, Do you think you'll ever have more guests on the show? I know the brown streak needs to be kept alive but do you think we'll get a chance to see people like Riley or James?
Thanks, Clint W!
Aye, mine weekly sustenance from yon Luke hath been achieved! 'Tis arduous to abide, seeing not his comely form for such extended span
Thanks, Garrett H!
Its the 3 horsemen of the tech-pocalypse! With so many OG YT creators retiring/cutting back at the start of the year do you think this is the end of an era with many realizing they cant grind forever?
Thanks, Joseph F!
Bing may be in the back end of DDG search, but it doesn't push the Microsoft stuff through that portal like Bing used to do. If the search results in 2024 are better than Google, what else matters?
Thanks, Jeremie B!
Hi DLL! Many of my peers are very pessimistic about the tech industry: many layoffs, too much AI, etc. Where do you think the tech industry is going and how do you deal with pessimism in general?
Thanks, Adam H!
Howdy DLL, podcast listener here. Enjoyed the callout to Computer Chronicles a few weeks back. Which of your videos do you want to serve as a resource for future generations of techies?
Thanks, Jeffrey B!
What was your favorite question that you DIDN'T get to ask Terren in
the Q&A, either from your list you may not have gotten to or from the
Floatplane community post?
Thanks, Scott D!
Would you ever consider creating an American subsidiary to receive products sooner or make it easier to review services not available in Canada?
Thanks, David H!
I've come across some new-styled instruments by a company, | think,
called "Aero". AeroGuitar and AeroDrum. Do you think tech innovation in
instruments is still strictly niche?
Reply @David H!
A guitar without strings isn't super exciting. Part of learning guitar is making your fingers hurt and building the strength to play notes. Neat thing, but dumb marketing.
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hey DLL! On the topic of subscriptions, what are your thoughts of
vmware moving towards a subscription model and no longer offering
perpetual licenses?
Thanks, Chester G!
Regarding the Al-assisted cheating monitor from last week, do you think video games should or will *have to* blacklist the model hardware IDs or that Microsoft should refuse to certify those displays?
Thanks, Juan F!
Hi LLD, love the show and all your channels content. Started watching
LTT when I wanted to learn how to overclock my AMD Phenom II X4
CPU. Now I work at a large tech company in Cupertino. No school.
Thanks, Christos M!
I haven't watched live in a while because of college and work but I'm here tonight! Have you considered creating LTT attire for the viewers like me in hotter climates? It's usually 30°C in Miami, FL.
Thanks, John T!
Hey .dll, I remember when Windows 11 first launched there was discussion about Ryzen CPUs losing performance. Is this still the case? I am considering upgrading and I currently run a 5800X.
Thanks, Anonymous!
First time purchaser! Recently upgraded my internet and realized my lack of networking knowledge. What are some tips for rookies to best secure their network or get the best performance?
Reply @Anonymous!
It's way too complicated sadly. Check out the forum or some other videos on YouTube. Homelab reddit is pretty cool too to see the kinda stuff people do.
Thanks, lhor B!
I see Luke wearing the original CPU T-shirt. Is there a plan to bring those back? I have most of those, but they are getting worn out at this point and I'd love to have the ability to buy them again.
Thanks, Josh B!
I was wondering what Linus's favorite/top motorcycling tech gadgets or mods are (besides the backpack) I've been looking for cool things to bring along with me while out riding during the summer.
Thanks, Eli B!
Any updates on the laptop/shoulder bag? Would really like it for school
as the backpack (which is awesome) is a little bulky for my load.
Thanks, Alexander Q!
Hi LLD, I've seen the S24 series and their "AI" chip, and I'm not convinced. What do you think are the advantages of this type of mobile processing, and how feasible is its use right now?
Reply @Alexander Q!
I think it's going to be a wait and see kinda thing. Everyone wants to stuff Al into everything right now and I'm just... so unconvinced it means anything currently.
Thanks, Liam C!
Hey LLD, Luke love the hair cut, I just got your water bottle and flannel and I'm loving them! In your honest opinion, is it worth getting an OLED display? I'm thinking about getting a 1440p QDOLED
Thanks, Wyatt J!
After buying several items on Walmart.com, I have purchased one physical and one digital item on Amazon.com. Amazon.com is significantly worse in every way. What are your thoughts?
Thanks, Roberto W!
Hello Large Language Dan, I got a new job as a producer for research studies and they are currently using Zoom for streaming them. Is there a better higher quality password protected way? Gracias!
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hey Luke and Linus, does LMG or Floatplane have plans to hire software engineers in the near future for any new or existing projects?
Thanks, Tyler F!
DLL, I recently started working for the A/V department for my University. The contrast in private sector vs public sector work is quite stark. What's the biggest work culture shock you've experienced?
Thanks, Ben R!
Hey LLD im wondering if you guys have seen the playdate i think there was a short circut on it and if you had any thoughts on it, also is there any nas/small bag updates/plans
Thanks, lhor B!
Hey DLL, The Last of Us Part II remaster came out (as unnecessary as it is, I've got a screen-accurate Ellie tattoo since the last time so it's a lot more immersive now). What do you think about it?
Thanks, Gregory C!
I listen to the WAN Show as a podcast on my way into work at the local
hospital. Any interest in covering medical tech (handheld ultrasounds
etc...) on LTT in the future?
Thanks, Bryant T!
Hi LDD! I was wondering if you'll ever create a comprehensive router/internet set up guide? Mainly for those that rent and are unable to run hardline. Yt videos are either too technical or surface lv
Thanks, Saxon H!
Hi Crew! I tried to find the page for the Stats pad recently and realised it was gone - had to use Wayback to see what the stats meant. Could you keep pages up, perhaps only for buyers, in the future?
Thanks, Michael W!
In North America, every industry is declining in quality and service. This shirt will help me on my journey to learn mandarin and finish what Gavin Belson could not.

Hi DLL, looking forward to the cable management but am curious if it will affect retro game video cables. Also loved the RT4K vid and would love to loan a PVM 20L5 for a future vid, local to metrov
Thanks, Frederick E!
Order was being delayed until the end of April because of Shaft.
Support was contacted and had the Shaft removed. Then I got an email
that the shaft would be shipping next week. Oh well lol \`(ツ)/~"
Thanks, Etienne G!
Hey LLD, What is your opinion about conventional router having poor security and the better route with a netgage and pfsense for a home router? is it overkill for a home setup É
Reply @Mitch P!
Something important to their partner that they have hinted at
throughout your relationship or idk, something that reminds you of
them when you first met. IDK

The second OpenAI locks down all their APIs lmao. Imaging setting up your entire business around something that can be unplugged at any moment.

Self hosted yes 100%. It's actually something I want to do. I run a bunch of self-hosted stuff at home and would love to attempt a home controlling AI thing
Thanks, Michael B!
Hi LLD. There's rumors going around online. That dbrand may do a limited edition run tape measure. At only Linus's approximate height, labeled Tall Shirts When?. Any idea's
Thanks, Kevin G!
What do you guys do wrong with Teams? I've never been logged out
across 4 different employers and multiple computers. Do you use
funky windows login configurations?
Thanks, Colton T!
Hi, DLL! Can you talk about the early days of the forum and how you ensured a positive and safe community? Looking to start something similar to catalog/compile historical info about a specific place.
Thanks, JohnPaul F!
Hi Dan and Circus Troupe! I judge whether to buy something by its
durability long term. What is Labs doing for long term testing that
ensures a products durability, including warranty claims.
Thanks, Nathan F!
Hey, First time message, I really like your guy's videos. Any updates on the magnetic cable management stuff? I am really looking forward to it!
Thanks, Alexander S!
LL&D, I have a powerful gaming rig, but find myself playing games that actually need it less than 20% of the time. Do you find yourselves in the same situation, how much of the time do you play "new"?
Reply @Alexander S!
Oh man same. The thing is that mine is a workstation. So it has power for work, but also games. The thing is that I GET to play new, and have the option. Some/most people can't.
Thanks, Andrew A!
Hi LLD, you all seem good at researching products to make sure they are high quality. Any tips on how to effectively research products before buying to ensure it's a quality product worth buying?
Thanks, Eli W!
Hey .DLL, is it weird to you that I use my middle finger to left click my mouse? It feels more natural to me that way, and I'm curious if anyone on your team is same?
Thanks, Brigette H!
I'm sending this in hopes my husband Mike will see it 😂 he always looks forward to Fridays for Wan Show, so thanks for doing them! Also, will y'all make an insulated gallon water bottle?? I'd love it
Thanks, Neil L!
Why can't you emulate CUDA on other GPUs? I know it's dedicated hardware, but emulators for consoles exist. I'm not expecting 100% performance,but 1% is still better than 0%.Thx for the butt cleaner.

Hi wan.dll need a home camera security system, ubiquity is awesome,
but price is prohibitive, unraid falls down on the GF approval factor
needing VPN to local network. Suggestions on alternatives?

Hey Jay Phil and Nik! Today I proved that the RGB Sweater works with a Boss suit. Tons of compliments on the look. If Nvidia ever manages to buy ARM do you think they could to topple Intel and A

Any Chance for update on GPU (gaming verse Workstation card)
comparison on SolidWorks/Siemen/other CAD software. What card
would you recommend for SolidWorks for 4 axis CNC work.

Hey DLL, what's your opinion on the community porting Spider Man 2 to PC? I know Linus' opinion on sailing the high seas, but that's a different topic entirely.
Thanks, Gavin M!
i have a setup that is in desperate need for cable management, how far away is the magnetic cable management system and what kind of pricing should i expect?

Hi Wan.DLL, any updates on your quest for sustainable/eco packaging for shipping? What are the biggest hurdles? Cost? Suppliers? Something else? Cheers from a few miles southeast, Spokane WA!
Reply @Alex S!
It continues to be a challenge. We had a recent product come packed in plastic instead of paper bags, but we're going to keep trying -LS
Thanks, David S!
Hi DLL! Question for Linus: Do you have any packages delivered to your house anymore, or do you just send them all to the office since anyone could leak your address?
Reply @David S!
lol my post carriers all know who I am regardless of where they drop my stuff. For years I had everything delivered to my house cuz I worked there -LS

Was wondering how the team got to selecting robertson bits over torx as the standard bit set for screwdrivers? I've never encountered the need for one across general use, electronics, or automotive

Hey DLL! I'm a technical theatre student, and I always enjoy when you mention technology that I use regularly. Have you considered making videos about entertainment/production tech like lighting?
Thanks, Caleb G!
Hey DLL, Linus, you often refer to FFVI as one of your favorite games. If SE we're to remake it would you prefer it done in AAA fashion (ie VIR) or with 2.5D visuals more akin to Octopath Traveler?

Ok guys, 4th message today. I've lost my RAM scarf (literally lost in my apartment), I'd love to get another one (RAM or SSD), any chance of that? I'm willing to pay extra.

Linus you have built out your home network are there any updates or changes you would have done? I am about to finish construction on a new home looking to upgrade my current 6e wifi to 7. Thank you.

Hey DLL! With the EU forcing a potential foothold for Chromium on iOS, do you see this leading to a reality where Google unilaterally drives web standard (incl. ad DRM etc.) through Chrome? Thanks!
