I want to watch TV and play console games at the same time. Do you have any suggestions on a TV or device that will split the screen into quarters.

Hey guys, been tuning in for a long time now and finally getting around
to buying the backpack! Very curious as to what y'all love about living
in British Columbia and what y'all could deal without.
Reply @Kris L!
It's so beautiful and peaceful. The people are really nice and it's super multicultural. I'd like housing prices to not start at $800k for a 1 bedroom.
Thanks, Jake S!
Hi DLL, any update on the NAS software Linus invested in? A few
months ago, you said it would be ready in a few weeks. Super excited
for it!
Thanks, Josiah K!
Hey LLD&Guests, In the Apple Vision Pro unbox possible use for the Fruity VR Headset as multi-monitor replacement? I'm already rocking 2x32" QHD monitors w/ RX6950xt onPC, future for others like me?
Reply @Josiah K!
Not entirely sure we're at the level of that just yet. I'd probably give it a little longer until they are not as difficult to wear for a long long time.
Thanks, Joseph C!
Hey parasocial friends. I was just wondering, since I always shut off my
pc whenever I leave it. Is it better to let your pc sleep and be on all of
the time, or is it better to shut the pc down?
Reply @Joseph C!
I normally hibernate it. Best of both worlds. Less running is better in my opinion. Sleep can fail is the power is cut, power off is irritating. Hibernate is best.
Thanks, Kyle J!
Hey LLD, as a programmer I've noticed a lack of programming content on the bigger tech YouTube channels. Has LTT ever explored the idea of programming content? What kind of challenges would this pose?
Thanks, Paul B!
Hey Wan dot DLL, what do you guys think about indie games that take
more than 5 years to release? "Silksong" should be out ... sometime, but
"Ghost Song" took 9 years, then nobody talked about it.
Reply @Paul B!
Would you rather a launch like Cyberpunk? Games are obscenely complicated to make. Indie in particular is even more difficult to actually execute. I'm fine with it.
Thanks, Crystal S!
Hello Limited-Liability-Dan! I was gonna ask if you would consider making switchblades (like the Lightning OTF), but I just found out they're illegal in Canada. What are your thoughts on that? Luv ya!

Hi DLL! At my job, I work with spectrometers for semiconductor fabs and my coworkers were asking me where I got my WAN desk mat and if it is safe to have semi sensitive electronics sitting on it. Thx!

Ay D to the Double L, How about a deep dive on longterm android support. AFAIK, Nvidia with the Shield TV and Tegra 2 have the longest support of any Android device and chipset ever, by a lot.

Dear DLL. I was at a Home Depot and a man asked about me WAN jacket. I told him about the store, and the screwdriver. What's the least likely place someone has noticed your LTT merch?

Hey LTT, Has there been a piece of tech that you have kept using past obsolescence? Currently babying along an i5-4670k and a 980ti while saving for the big upgrade. Thanks for all of the videos.

Hey LLD, Just wondering if you think it's too late in the life cycle to buy

Hi DLL, I went Japan for the first time over the new years and came back wanting a bidet. Lucky timing. My question: When do you think we'll see a VR headset that beats the Index in most every spec?

I'd probably give it a couple years. The vision pro seems to be getting nearer. We're approaching the tipping point for quality. Next is price.

Would a large language model be used to help more accurately diagnose people in healthcare to supplement a doctor's expertise or would that be considered something else?

Why do phone makers lock certain features to certain regions (i.e. iPhone and dual sim in china) A while back Dan mentioned ordering phones from China. Was curious as to how. Aliexpress sketches meout

We don't have a lot of multi-region stuff here, and often the dual sim allows for one to be an sd card. Can't upsell you with that now can they.
