Thanks, Timothy M! Hey Linus, I've run my own electronics design and fab comp for the last decade, continuing may be untenable. There is a CW position that is %100 me (going to apply). do you ever hire US citizens (visa) or allow
 
Reply to Timothy M
Reply @Timothy M! Normally we like people locally, but if you apply I'm sure we can figure something out! Unsure what the policies are for remote currently. Doesn't hurt to apply.
  Ian K
Thanks, Ian K! Is the Luke plush coming soon? Also when Riley was on the show he did not bring any quick bits. This was a horrific oversight. We need more quick bits!

Reply @Ian K! Possibly! Lots in the works.

Thanks, majorgiant! Are there any plans for taller / bigger sizes for the clothing in the lttstore?
 
Reply to majorgiant
Reply @majorgiant! There is! We even got some new models for them to make sure the fit is right. I'm most excited for some tall sizes I've heard rumors about.

Reply @Anonymous! Consumers seem to want their laptops to turn back on instantly. S3 doesn't really offer this. Just hibernate it.

Thanks, Kyle R! Just watched Secret Shopper 2 recently, where were the sets that you guys shot on for those? They don't look like your normal sets
 
Reply to Kyle R
Reply @Kyle R! That's the back side of the Kitchen set. Sometimes we modify it to make it look different. It's got a cute little office.
  Erik B
Thanks, Erik B! Hello from Guam! On a previous WAN show Linus mentioned giving employees email and professional communication etiquette guidance. Would you consider reading that as a written guide/booklet or a video
 
Reply to Erik B
Reply @Erik B! Most likely going to be very tuned for our internal company behaviors. Probably not super applicable for others.

Thanks, Kyle J! Any chance for a creature-free (vegan, non-wool) beanie/toque? I would absolutely love to buy several. Acrylic seems pretty good for these.

Reply @Kyle J! Sounds like a really neat idea. I'd shoot @NickLMG on Twitter during the week.

Thanks, Tim S! Is there any updates to the LTT magnetic cable clips we've seen? I'm moving soon and would love to have them to set up my new office

Thanks, Adam E! Hey hey Luke! I feel that I'm one of the last bastions of hope for a windows dev in this heavily Mac-prevalent dev culture. I've found that WSL has been a great way of working well together! Have you, or Linus,
 
Reply to Adam E
Reply @Adam E! Most of the things they deal with are Linux or Windows only. So a lot of the environments are already tied to them. Not a lot of Win/Linux overlap warranting WSL. I use it though.

Reply @Jacob M! Looks super exciting. We don't often touch a lot of these data center topics, but I wonder if we should get some and do horrible things to them. Seems cool!

Thanks, Yilin X! Hello Linus/Luke! I have used the backpack for 3 months now and I'm concerned about the longevity of the chest strap, it's slightly frayed. Could backpack parts be sold as replacements in the future?

  Helmi N
Thanks, Helmi N! as an engineer and a manager myself, I'm all in for the smallest team as possible for engineering team. As a customer, it's more annoying to have a late response than new feature for a shop experience.

Reply @Helmi N! Support is different than the engineering team at least.
 
Reply to Philip S
Reply @Philip S! Does it have to be internet connected? Honestly it should all be considered worrying at this point.
  JoshuaCarol
Thanks, JoshuaCarol! Hey Linus, we all want new competitors in the CPU/GPU space but when new guys (Intel) emerge, we dismiss them as they aren't refined, whereas the OG competitors had decades to refine their product.

Thanks, Eli K! Now ask it to write a Eufy/Anker sponsor slot lmao... Also, speaking of which I was wondering if you have an alternative to anker that has the same product quality or if I should just stick to anker for gan chargers
 
Reply to Eli K
Reply @Eli K! Hopefully a new sponsor will fill the space. Most of everything we have is Anker, so almost all products in that category we see are by Anker.
