Thanks, Andrew S! Greetings DDL. How do you accidentally make really great products for entirely different categories? This is no gamer backpack, this is for tradeshows! The server cable arch replaced my door handle!
 
Reply to Andrew S
Reply @Andrew S! Step 1: Just make good stuff. Like, actually good.
  Ben B
Thanks, Ben B! Hey wan.DLL! This is the final purchase for my first child whos due next week. What makes you want to switch away from SaaS? (Slack) I manage $5M/year software budget and cant imagine self hosting
 
Reply to Ben B
Reply @Ben B! We want to switch away from Teams mostly. Self hosting might just be a needed evil to find something good. Slack has its own issues for how we work.
  Adam V
Thanks, Adam V! Hey LLD (Large Language Doddle), I have a 7800X3D. I've gotten into YouTube and I want faster render times. I heavily game though. Should I go for a new 9000 series or wait for one with 3D V-cache?
 
Reply to Adam V
Reply @Adam V! I'd probably ask the forums!
  Bradley S
Thanks, Bradley S! My screw driver was ran over by several cars unintentionally. It survived with full functionality, so I'm buying another for fun! Any updates on additional bits being added to the store? Like JIS

Thanks, Koby P! Hey LLD! Long-time listener here. My friend and I are launching a podcast to demystify AI, cloud, IaaS, etc. Any tips on promoting it to help more people grasp these complex topics?

  Tyler S
Thanks, Tyler S! Hey DLL, what are your thoughts on the huge leak of anime from netflix over the past few days? several full seasons got out months earlier than anticipated
 
Reply to Tyler S
Reply @Tyler S! Oh nooooo. What are the websites they are hosted on so I can avoid them... Honestly though I feel bad for the artists. Unfinished work is never fun getting shown.
  Matt H
Thanks, Matt H! G'day from New Zealand, Still waiting for Alex and the gearheads to be let loose on a car channel. I'm building a speeduino DIY ECU for my project car. would you consider doing a video on this tech?
 
Reply to Matt H
Reply @Matt H! That sounds neat. Ultra niche though.
  Alyssa C
Thanks, Alyssa C! Hey wan.dll! I'm renting and running a lot of cables HDMI, ethernet etc. It's a 3 story house & I can't go in the walls. I was thinking of using PVC pipes as conduit to hide my runs. Any suggestions?
 
Reply to Alyssa C
Reply @Alyssa C! Yeah or just run them along the ceiling or something idk. You're renting I guess, so major modifications aren't really expected right?
  Tristen H
Thanks, Tristen H! Hello WAN Show Live from America's Hat™, Have you considered making videos concerning Industrial Automation? PLCs, DCS, & Instrumentation. The industry has seen some interesting developments lately?
 
Reply to Tristen H
Reply @Tristen H! I think so. Would be pretty neat. Still kinda niche though, but it might be worth a post on the video suggestion page of the forum.

Thanks, Colin W! Question that probably needs to be forwarded: how essential is it that I don't put merch in the dryer? Is it to protect the designs or to prevent shrinkage? Might be worth mentioning somewhere.

Reply @travis d! Cloud or maybe a private server. Idk
  Bryan B
Thanks, Bryan B! Hey Danlubastian, what are your thoughts on AMD keeping AM4 alive? I'm shocked how great the 5500 is for TrueNAS, and the 5900XT looks to be a surprising powerhouse. Can't wait for the new poster!

  Michael G
Thanks, Michael G! Dual windows/Mac user here. You are so wrong on Finder. Finding a video, then hitting space to preview it is so much easier than Windows. You just have to figure out how to set the default views.

Reply @Michael G! Shut.
  Zachary S
Thanks, Zachary S! Learn to use the command line bro. I hardly use explorer day to day, but gitbash/Cygwin all the time. Get better. I learned it on having macbooks for like 15 years.
  Mitch S
Thanks, Mitch S! Majority of media companies do NOT use Mac. Mrs and I work in VFX, at the 12 studios we worked at we only saw 2-3 Mac colorstations.. Not even Pixar (founded by Jobs) doesn't use Mac, they use Linux..

Thanks, Abby B! Hey DLL! I'm a graphic designer that ditched Adobe software in favor of the Affinity suite 2 years ago. Have you guys looked into switching away from Premiere et al since the last video on the topic?
 
Reply to Abby B
Reply @Abby B! Nawh we're pretty stuck. There's a bit of a reason it's so widely used... Black Magic might be another option.

  Karl P
Thanks, Karl P! What's with the stagnation in consumer wired networking? We've had 10GbE for decades, but they invent a newer, slower nbase-t and implement that instead. Also, u7 pro max bottlenecked by 2.5G uplink.

Thanks, Joshua A! Hello DLL! Have you thought of doing an LMG "PC Drag Race" where writers (or others at the company) could put their computers through a custom Markbench run for bragging rights?
