Thanks, Christopher G! 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
 
Reply to Christopher G
Reply @Christopher G! Hopefully will be!
  James P
Thanks, James P! I saw that. I like this size. Thank you. I have a back ordered water bottle from Black Friday. I'm assuming it'll arrive whenever.
  Daniel A
Thanks, Daniel A! Why not finish early and play Palworld (while you can still own games?)
  Nathan A
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

  Jedidiah A
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 to Jedidiah A
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.

  Aiden C
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 to Aiden C
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.
  Benjamin W
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?

  Bryce S
Thanks, Bryce S! Hey DLL, If you could describe each other as a sandwich. Which sandwich would your cohosts be?
 
Reply to Bryce S
Reply @Bryce S! Linus - Grilled Cheese. Luke - A chicken sandwich but the filling is bread and the bread is chicken breasts.
  Justin O
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 to Justin O
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!
  Jonathan L
Thanks, Jonathan L! Hey DLL, What tech device that you can't live/work without, is just the worst to work on or setup? For me, it's printers.
 
Reply to Jonathan L
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.
  Mark P
Thanks, Mark P! Any plans for LTT sew on / iron on patches?
 
Reply to Mark P
Reply @Mark P! Maybe in the future!
  Matthew C
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.
  Jimmy A
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 to Jimmy A
Reply @Jimmy A! 100% seen that. Pretty sad honestly. Consumers don't know this is a thing, and no one seems to list that.
  Will B
Thanks, Will B! Hey LLD!! I was wondering about your thoughts Apple introducing RCS messaging in the next large update and how that will impact users.
 
Reply to Will B
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.
  Dominick R
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

  Gavin M
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!
 
Reply to Gavin M
Reply @Gavin M! Maybe in the future! As far as I understand we're just targeting the major product categories first.
  John K
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...
 
Reply to John K
Reply @John K! We're still considering the switch or a combo of both. It's pretty difficult to make the choice.

Thanks, Vincenzo M! Hey Linus, is the RetroTink 4k or 5x-pro any good for watching Laserdiscs on a 4k projector?

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
 
Reply to Tucker S
Reply @Tucker S! Get your clients addicted to the drugs, then you can charge whatever you want for them. Pretty standard and gross model.

  ramon k
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?
 
Reply to ramon k
Reply @ramon k! That means you're still getting more data but moving less.
  Samuel B
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.
  Eric U
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?

Reply @Eric U! They are the exception not the rule.
  Joey G
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, Anonymous! 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?

Thanks, David K! 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

Thanks, Ihor B! 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, Alex S! 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
  David S
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?

Thanks, Anonymous! Question for Luke, I'm a mechanical engineer, but a lot of my job has turned into software development. I enjoy it, and apparently I'm good at it, but feel like I don't know what I'm doing. Advice?
  Israel D
Thanks, Israel D! 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

Thanks, Jonathan L! 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?
  Caleb G
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?
  Liam P
Thanks, Liam P! Hi DLL, looking forward to the cable management but curious if the magnets will affect retro game video quality Also loved the RT4K video and would be happy to lend a PVM 20L5 CRT for a future vid

Thanks, Nathan G! Have laptop backpack for EDC, but 5 times a year I fly for work with 2 laptops, a tablet & extra screen. Try as I could to find a cheaper pack to meet the needs due to the infrequency, giving up...

Thanks, lhor B! 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.
