Hello, WAN show. Linus, when you start the World's Brightest TV, have you considered using 2 LCD panels layered, like Hisense & DIY Perks, to have darker blacks to pair with the eye searing whites?

Mah dudes! What common arguments do you three typically have with your SOs?
What are they usually about and how do they end? Enjoy this money made from my
job as a spacecraft systems engineer (@Luke)
Thanks, connor b!
Hay WAN.DLL. Y'all have done some fantastic dives in to old tech. Have you ever
thought about doing a dive into floppy disks or something ridiculous like see how fast
you could get a raid of the to go
Thanks, Anonymous!
Friendly DLL What's the best way to make my Nas faster for videoediting and playing games? I got a Synology 1522+ that I'm happy with except the speed, which upgrade route do you recommend
Thanks, Bryce P!
Sup Dan, Duke, and Dingus? I recently returned my Aorus i7 13700h laptop due to horrible audio "bitcrushing" during my live DJ gigs. Is this more likely a 13th gen problem, An Aorus prob? Or Windows?
Reply @Bryce P!
Can be a sample-mismatch or high DPC latency. It's a horrible problem. Check out LatencyMon and see if there are problems. It's a difficult problem to solve.
Thanks, John R!
Hi Linus, Luke, and Dan the great and powerful. You upload a bunch of YouTube shorts, some of which are updates and corrections on main videos. Why don't these go on floatplane for the floaties?
Thanks, Colin C!
Just caught up on last weeks wan yesterday. Linus the John Lewis department store has the battery you needed and sits about half way between the theatre and apple shop. Next visit try bike NC500
Thanks, Ryan F!
Going to build a new system soon, don't game much (Rocket League, BTD6, City Skylines.) Would you recommend intel, amd, or Nvidia GPU? Budget is between 1k - 1.5k USD.
Thanks, Scott B!
Hi LLD, do you think consumers are justified to be angry over AI frames? We don't
want AI art, or music, so why should we accept paying $2000 to play unoptimized
games with AI?
Reply @Scott B!
Gunna be a big topic today. I think so many of the problems are just games being unoptimized. Gunna get even worse if the target is 60fps even with a 5090 because of frame gen.
Thanks, jay b!
Dear Duke, Dan and Dinus, through all the years of visiting tech shows like CES, what is the craziest or strangest claim a company advertised for a product you saw that you KNEW wouldn't work that way
Thanks, Matthias M!
Hi. I cracked the manifold on my EVGA 3080 Ti Hydrocopper and couldn't source this part. Luckily I could still buy a compatible waterblock. Do you think watercooling repairability is in a bad state?
Thanks, Brandon G!
Hey Lingus Lukal and Darp, with Nvidia now selling cards with barely upgraded hardware with AI as its selling point, how long will customers be sold "AI" stuff with cheap hardware for a premium price
Thanks, Phil H!
Hey LDD! Linus, you've often talked about how since covid hand washing, you don't
get sick much anymore. Are you *sure* this isn't just due to not having toddlers
anymore? Sincerely, dad of 3 under 4.

Hey DLL, hope CES went well! I just ordered the Xreal One Pro's. Did anyone explore Xreal's booth? What are your thoughts on it, current AR glasses, and where this tech is heading?
Thanks, David G!
wan.dll not found As CW gets bigger and bigger, customer service volume seems to

Just ordered a Noctua 200mm fan to replace my RV's bathroom vent and I thought since I live in it full time it should be quiet, what's your favorite use of Noctua fans in non PC applications?
Thanks, Ryan B!
Hi LLD, i feel like i shouldve waited for the 5070. can you help me feel better and affirm my 4070 Ti super purchase from about a month ago?
Thanks, Christopher C!
Hi LLD. What is your favorite old Smartphone gimick feature? I liked project soli on the pixel 3 XL, but the notch was unfortunate.
Thanks, Joshua Carol C!
Hey [Dan insert funny explicit here], I remember a time LMG used to do 50+ videos during CES... How has the show floor changed that the video count is less than half now? CES not that exciting anymore??
Thanks, Robert A!
As a 3D Artist i am worried about performance. I rely on real performance versus AI baking normals AO I need performance not AI I want my intention and not someone else's That has been trained off
Thanks, Marshall B!
I don't understand the need/desire to game at 4k/90+ FPS. For the general consumer we can't afford the rest of the suite of hardware required to achieve that. 2070 Super still works great.
Thanks, Fernando G!
Hello there! Was wondering if any more RGB clothing is coming? Me and the mrs have enjoyed the collection! Also, any cool tech from CES that stood out to you that's not PC related?
Thanks, Damon K!

Thanks, George A!
Hello Linux, I am a 3D Artist can you add benchmarks for Iterations Speed for AI generation e.g. Using Automatic111 or Comfyui and see if better architecture helps with AI Generation.
Thanks, Daniel B!
Hey DLL, I just recently had a thought of switching careers to account better for my talents. I'm curious how/if/when you guys have personally felt that you have found your career you strive to do?
Reply @Daniel B!
I think the generally acceptable job switch timeline is 4 years. LMG is in generally a super varied company and if people are stuck there's places to try and switch to.
Thanks, Simon H!
Good evening Linus, Luke and Dan the Man. This is mainly for Luke. I am in school for

looking for? Gonna be a newCareer
Thanks, Leyland R!
Hello Linus the Liar, I know you have said you don't like revisiting old videos once you have done them but would you consider ones that the tech has changed since you made it? 4k Dashcams for example
Thanks, Joshua Carol C!
Hey Luke ‘Can't speak French’ Lafreniere , Who amongst Linus’ kids are most Linus-like? Sassy, Trolling, Interest in tech, Dropping stuff, etc. etc.? Also most interesting tech (Not Pool Robot) at CES
Thanks, Isaiah S!
Howdy, DLL! Finally buying the backpack! If you could eliminate one technological "annoyance" forever - like proprietary connectors, bloatware, or mechanical hard drive failures, what would you pick?
Thanks, Alex M!
Podcast listener here. Have you tried? (1) Garmin smart watches. Weeks of battery, great core features. (2) Syncthing encrypted buddy backup. It's FOSS, cross platform, and simple point N click setup.
Thanks, Denver G!
Nvidia is boosting public frame gen reporting by including any time DLSS is used, frame gen or not, because they're not drawing a distinction, its also not being used all the time. Same with RT.
Thanks, Gabe M!

Does LTT turn hyperthreading/SMT off when testing games on new CPUs? I run a 9900k CPU and I found out I could do that recently and turning it off improved thermals and FPS.
