I'm Changing My Name

Thanks, Justin M! Hey LLD, DO you have any plans to bring AI in house to help with show or operations? Sorry Linus

Thanks, Max S! Too dumb to find my message last week. Week 2 of advocating for a white Deskpad design. This endeavor will continue!

Thanks, Gordon J! Hi L, L&D! Hi from Scotland! Is there a merch item you want to make but your not geared/staffed up to produce yet?

Thanks, Hannah H! Hi everyone! Buying this screwdriver as a birthday present for my father in law. What is the best gift you think you've given?

Thanks, Nathaniel F! Hey LLD have you considered doing a shirt or a hoodie where the ltt screwdriver is disassembled and labeled. Being that I love seeing how things work I'd think it'd be cool. Also hello future me

Thanks, Marc W! I'm going to LTX from the island with my Brother in law. Help me convince him that floatplane is better than the ferry!

Thanks, MATTHEW H! Have you considered using Graphene0S as your daily driver or trying it out? I've found it to be a great experience for everyday use once you have Google apps installed.

Thanks, Benny T! Any future restock of larger sizes of the Sweat shorts?

Thanks, charles T! do you guys intend to do e bike reviews and if so do you intend to consult a bike mechanic

Thanks, Michael M! When are we getting restock of medium/midlength sweatpants I want to throw my money at you

Thanks, Adam F! Really digging this Dan character added in recent seasons. Luke-A few weeks ago you spoke about the forever AI game, what would be a realistic timeline and what issues would an AI driven game have?

Thanks, Joseph N! Been watching since forever! Keep up the awesome content! Loving my LTT Backpack!

Thanks, Jean L! Hey Linus, Luke and Dan, did you always stream with OBS or have you ever tried vMix?

Thanks, Yongzhen X! Hi DLL! Just started co-op at my university's battery testing facility! Will lab test battery of consumer electronics? If yes, what would that look like, cyclic testing in environmental chamber?

Thanks, AJ O! Hey guys. This is a question for everyone, including Dan (if you'd like to answer) What's your favorite smart phone you've owned, and which one have you used the longest?

Thanks, Samuel B! I saw the Tormach CNC video recently and noticed the ClearPath servo motor you pointed - I used to make those at my previous job! What's your favorite piece of machinery like that mill you own now?

Thanks, Brendan M! Would love the LTT take on how Zelda leaked and also had an update leaked. PCs are running it at 60fps flawlessly already!

Thanks, Samuel P! Hey Dan, Linus & Luke. If you had to pick a Linux distro and roll with it for a couple months what would you pick?

Thanks, Luke M! Is my partner's career in data science and math at risk of being taken over by AI, or will she be working alongside it? She's a year off finishing a double degree in data science and math.

Thanks, Anonymous! Hi Linus, I was curious if you would ever do a video on whether or not payment services like Affirm, Zip, and Paypal Pay in 4 are worth using for tech products on sites like Newegg.

Thanks, Sean C! Watch WAN show every Saturday at work thanks for the great content and the great merch.

Thanks, HADEN M! What question do you want someone to ask you right now?

Thanks, Peter M! I've had two spout lids fail in 3 months! Support was amazing (thanks Ryan!), and mentioned a possible upcoming redesign. Any details about the redesign or why the top isn't meeting LTT standards?

Thanks, Jake W! Hey L L&D! How long do you think it will take for a mainstream or Triple-A game to be exclusive to Gamepass or a similar service.

Thanks, Ben G! Hey DLL I don't know if this has been answered or not before, but will there be video(s) about the networking/systems (steam caches and stuff) that will be used for the Whale LAN. (Super excited btw!

Thanks, steve c! As a spotter for a only listener, thank you for posting them on their when is the next lan event it's sold out right before I could get a bring your own PC ticket

Thanks, Josh M! i work at a burt's bees manufacturing plant in the states. i work with all of the machinery in the plant. the back pressure of the driver is wonderful for how precisely machined our equipment is

Thanks, Jordan M! Could the Arc A770 16GB be able to age better than RTX 4070 in future games? It has a bit faster VRAM, double pixel rate, quicker texture rate, more FP32, but less FP64 TFLOPS according to Techpowerup

Thanks, William M! Pick a tech superpower: Cable Master) you can plug in any cable right on the first try; Optimal Updates) your software is always updated, never interrupts you, and never forces unwanted changes.

Thanks, Dryw W! Hi Lan, Duke, and Dinus! A while ago, I was frustrated that there's no affordable consumer grade audio compressors, so I made my own for <$1 in electronics. Suggestions on where to get audio stuff?

Thanks, Birkan B! Hey, greetings from Germany. Do you guys plan on making keychain (charms) similar to the design of the pins and also posters in the near future?

Thanks, Jason G! Since our Al overlords are here, what is the one thing you are most excited for that Al will make possible and what are you most fearful for?

Thanks, DAVID D! Hi guys! Just curious if there's any update on the stubby screwdriver we can expect in the nearish future?

Thanks, Micah C! How is the audio production benchmarking coming along? Can you share any details on your team's approach? I've been trying to work out some form of benchmarking on my own but it hasn't been easy. TY!

Thanks, Billy S! Hi Linus (and Luke and Dan), would you consider a water bottle with a handle and straw similar to the Stanley brand?

Thanks, Ethan M! Hey LL and D, good luck with merch messages today! :D hope your fingers don't get too tired today

Thanks, Ian M! I've been watching since I "needed" a cool light up gaming mouse and stumbled on LTT's razer ouroboros review. It's been incredible to watch LMG grow and I look forward to watching for years to come!

Thanks, Edgar B! What are some of the weirdest or funniest tech-related dreams you have ever had?

Thanks, Benjemin J! Hello and good evening Linus, Luke and Dan are there any plans for LTT socks.

Thanks, Josh B! I'm going to be doing a lot of international travel the rest of this year, would sure love a leather like backpack :) any ETA?

Thanks, Anonymous! kinda bummed about the feature being changed bc my girlfriend found me from my discord username # and i had her

Thanks, Gordon H! Is the framework 16 a laptop worth waiting for if you are an engineering student, or is there an alternative you

Thanks, Michel T! Great product. Can't wait for the pants and sandals. Linus promise 'Pride' pins ? Pride month is coming and still nothing :(

Thanks,Adam M! Hey Luke! I often watch 30 min after the show starts, and I watch on YouTube because it allows me to go back to the start when you're live. Will Floatplane be receiving this feature? Thanks in advance

Thanks, Anonymous! i love you guys merch i used my roblox jojo money on this, long live stand proud the greatest game of all time - narcissist

Thanks, John A! @Linus stop wearing merch I can't buy. Ps. Thanks for the free dad hat. It's amazing and I'm kinda bummed they're gone.

Thanks, Om T! To add onto the idea of a corporate discord: All they need is a robust integration with Azure AD and other IAM (identity & access management) platforms. Would immediately slaughter slack.

Thanks, Joseph L! When is the next video for the gaming minivan coming out???

Thanks, Travis K! I think every once in a while should be the Incapacitated WAN Show. Hilariously bring back sleep deprived Linus and Luke. Maybe an episode while eating too spicy food, or shots when Luke mentions AI.

Thanks, Scott G! LLD: Any Statistical Visualizations you use regularly/semi-regularly that didn't make it on the Cyber Stats Deskpad?

Thanks, Anonymous! Any update on the cable management system?

Thanks, Lane B! LLD - With the progression in AI, What're your thoughts on a tool in the far future for gamers to use to create entire games based on a prompt + feedback? Thanks for the smiles!

Thanks, willie s! i wanted to ask if youd ever make a duffelbag. i work security & have blown through 2 backpacks carrying a spotlight plugin heatbox for food, water bottle, snacks, cleaning wipes, & a drink

Thanks, Jon H! Have you considered having a dedicated channel focusing on home automation. Lots a great content mixed throughout the existing channels, but can be difficult to find at times.

Thanks, Eric E! Any plans for bathroom decor? Like a sad Linus picture to hang at eye level when someone is sitting on the toilet in

Thanks, Josh M! Update on the upcoming cable management products? How are the designs for it looking and is there a estimated release? I am moving and kind of hoping they are dropped so I can use them in new setup

Thanks, John Jeffrey E! hi LLD, taking advatange of sadsack code. With AMD 3DVCache, is it still worth taking 13th gen or wait for the next release. 6th gen intel has showing its age playing/basic editing on davinci resolve.

Thanks, Walter B! Hi DLL I was wondering if you guys have watched the new Puss n Boots animated movie and what you thought of it. I just watched it with my brother and we both thought it was an easy 9/10.

Thanks, Ben Q! Hey there, I am literally buying things just to remind you guys, to shout out the BOINC event from the WAN show doc

Thanks, Joshua S! Waterbeds from the 90's had water heater that used 200 to 400 watts to keep the water warm. Would you be able to get a gaming PC to work with a waterbed and call it a "Sleeper PC"

Thanks, Jake N! Do you think 5.1 and HDR support will become more common place on PC, when it comes to video streams? Outside of games 5.1, and HDR support sucks on PC.

Thanks, Randall K! As battery capacity increases, should there be something done to avoid current EVs from becoming waste? Maybe laws that might force car makers to unlock the ability to swap in future battery tech?

Thanks, Rudy S! You should have a discount code some time. I have been waiting to get a water bottle for 5-15% off. Love your content glad I could catch you guys live

Thanks, Eric U! Hi L&L. I moved recently and with my GOG library and drives with videos, decided to go without internet (keeping cell). Thoughts on "You Own Nothing" and online DRM making this not viable for most.

Thanks, Timothy J! I work as a fiber splicer at a small FTTX ISP in Montana. I use your screwdriver every day. It has held up well to mild abuse. I wish the bit storage was more durable and had a bash cap.

Thanks, Charles B! Vegas bookies need to start giving odds on whether Luke will mention ChatGPT on The WAN Show

Thanks, David S! Hey LLD. I foolishly agreed to advise a coworker on what his son can do to upgrade his Gaming PC. Do you guys have any stories of suggestions you've made to friends or family that backfired?

Thanks, Katie C! First time watching a WAN live (from EU). Hi Dan!

Thanks, Derek W! Hey LL&D. I work in excavation & had $100k+ worth of GPS equipment become obsolete last year due to the 3G sunset by mobile carriers. Have you owned any products that became obsolete at that scale

Thanks, Dylan S! How do you guys manage to strike the perfect balance between tech-talk & fun in the WAN show every week? Always enamored & amused!

Thanks, Ryan H! Need my linus taters.

Thanks, Kevin a! Watching some tech upgrades recently i find myself wishing you would do like a half budget one with Luke just for the entertainment value of watching him begrudgingly spend money on frivolous things

Thanks, Ryan M! Hey LL&D. Can you include tests for people with sensitive hearing when reviewing or testing headphones? A lot of reviewers push for louder headphones and autistic people like myself get left behind.

Thanks, Joshua R! Linus Luke and Dan, thanks for the help last week with the micro cloud server, I'll mess with it and sell it! Unfortunately I'm now addicted to merch messages. That being said thoughts on LTT bedding?

Thanks, Steven C! I forget which LTT video inspired me but I finally made my own unraid server with a vm for openwrt which has turned out really well as a router + nas + game server.

Thanks, Sebastien B! Any chance for a multi-nep tshirt black edition?

Thanks, Brian J! In a recent video you talked about your battery setup with Eaton. Why did you not opt for a transfer switch and natural gas generator in your setup?

Thanks, Dan S! For Luke, Linus, and Dan As an avid reader myself, I'm curious, do you have any books you'd recommend as a "must read" for everyone? (For me, I always recommend Carl Sagan's Demon Haunted World).

Thanks, Louis D! Given the challenges you've encountered with Ops/Sys Admin type issues in the past, would you ever consider hiring directly for that skill set? PS - Please help us escape the dystopia to the south.

Thanks, Anonymous! Hey Linus & Luke, I have been watching since the NCIX days and just recently started a job designing CPUs for one of the big two. Anything in particular you are hoping to see in CPUs in future gens?

Thanks, Ethan A! Hey DLL! Between Linus' commitment to skipping 40 Series cards and the AMD Challenge being... "extended", would you consider changing the timeframe of the AMD Challenge to be until next gen?

Thanks, Jaciee H! Yay comfortable clothing! Question for all of you. Coffee or tea?

Thanks, Caedon M! hope you guys have an awesome day

Thanks, Alexis O! Hey DLL - The floatplane resume feature seemed to show Linus had watched some of the staff interview exclusive when he shared his FP screen. Did Linus break his rule?

Thanks, David K! What's up guys, do any of you believe in the paranormal and or experienced anything paranormal? I do

Thanks, Marcus E! Hi Linus Luke and Dan . This question is mainly for Luke is there going to be Playlists on floatplane Also Screwdriver pencil bit

Thanks, Birgit G! Hello L&L and Dan, What do you think about the new possibilities in marketing "4.0" like being able to change the sponsor after a certain amount of time or using green screen for product placements?

Thanks, Charles S! Love the content! As an enterprise infrastructure nerd I really enjoyed your server/network tour. Is there a reason why you mostly build your own servers versus buying from the large vendors?

Thanks, Anonymous! Any updates on the wooden building block pc? Really hoping its able to be brought to production.

Thanks, Aundreya K! Just got a new job at Intel so I'm hoping this backpack serves me reliably as all your other merch ..but my fiancé still needs torx bits!

Thanks, Anonymous! Hey Linus and Guest and Producer, I'm a Uber driver at San Francisco and I play your livestream while I drive. When you use a ride share, what conversation starters do you start with the driver?

Thanks, Zachary! I've adopted Ultrawide screens entirely and haven't looked back. Do you think the community as a whole will ever move from 16:9 to 21:9 aspect ratio for tv and film? If not, why?

Thanks, Kevin J! Hey LLD! I just fulfilled a lifelong dream of opening my own repair shop! What advice would you give to a new business owner? Thanks for helping me in my self taught journey into business ownership!

Thanks, Kai W! Hey DLL - Linus has (rightfully) complained a lot about Google Assistant getting things like contacts wrong - a frustration I certainly share! How long before we see AI/ChatGPT Based Assistants?

Thanks, Luke N! Excited for my new shirts. I would love yall's input on an argument at work over using individual upgraded i7 intel nuc for our individual devs (About 25) vs using a vmware environment. Thx!

Thanks, Lavi F! i am so excited to get this pad btw i got a i5-13600k and a rtx 4080 on 16 gb ram ddr5. waht part do i need to upgrade?

Thanks, Lukas A! Hey guys, when do we get to meet the WAN writer? Did they make it through probation?

Thanks, Corey B! Hi Linus, Another Ally question. I find myself using the track pads on the Steam Deck all of the time outside of games. Do you have trouble doing non game or windows tasks without them?

Thanks, Anonymous! Hey DLL, what do you think will be the first 'killer app' for augmented reality and what problems do you think AR will solve?

Thanks, Anonymous! hey L/L. I got into DnD after watching your oneshot in 2021. It looks like LTT staff are also into it. Wudya consider trialling a 1shot/campaign on CSF ala corridor/node? Would love to see anthony GM.

Thanks, ADAM R! Hey LLD, we were discussing AAA games being release very unfinished, and J2C released a video about tech company frustrations. Are things becoming MORE rushed and profit based or am i out of touch?

Thanks, Jeff H! Love your products just need every bit imaginable for the screwdriver now!

Thanks, Justin K! Funny title, I just submitted forms to change my name today! Unrelated, for someone who has little experience in highly technical product design, lets say, GPU/CPU design, where can you get started?

Thanks, Karl F! What are some of the less commonly discussed differences between going with an Intel or AMD cpu in a build like quicksync, raid differences, avx512 support, pcie tunneling, and ddr5 speeds?

Thanks, Imre M! Hey Linus, is there any updates on chonky boy/girl sizes? Also would love to see a tiny messenger bag to put my phone and wallet in during summer when using shorts with shallow pockets.

Thanks, Oliver H! Howdy all! I want to go to LTX, but I'd be going solo(flying from California). Do you think it would still be fun for someone who would know absolutely no one attending? PS. Love the show!

Thanks, Anna C! Hi! Stocking up on the women's underwear. I ordered some at launch and love them. Any plans for new patterns? Or maybe three packs of the same style to save on packaging waste?

Thanks, Tyler D! Hey DLL, super excited to put the screw driver to good use! What's a piece of technology you wish you could experience for the first time again?

Thanks, Adam G! Linus, Thank you for the info to just go with the known. Bought the same mobo as you and it worked flawlessly with the razer 4 dock. Would labs ever do verified to work with corning cables data set?

Thanks <First Name> <Last Initial> HOT WHEELS RIFT RALLY UT HOT WHEELS RIFT RALLY USING THE LINK BELOW, GAMESTOP NEAR YOU!

Thanks, Spencer K! Love the show! Any update on DAW or audio production content?

Thanks, Peter W! After a recent phone upgrade my phone doesn't fit in half of my cargo shorts, and is tight in the other half. These look great, any plans for more cargo shorts in the future?

Thanks, Bryan B! Woot new shirt designs and new towels. Waiting for summer hoodies going to need it in a month or so.

Thanks, David B! Hello! Long time viewer, first time buyer from the UK. Would you ever consider taking LTX on-tour, potentially scaled down events with localised sponsors etc?

Thanks, Michael B! When are the green, purple, and black underwear pack going to be back in stock?

Thanks, Steven H! Hey there, guys! I'm a huge fan and have a couple of questions regarding t-shirt sizes. Are you planning on offering 4 or 5XL sizes? What about XLT for us tall boys? Saving for backpack!

Thanks, Conor H! Performed my first hardware upgrade today (on a 2013 Mac Pro) and now all I want to do is take apart computers, so hopefully buying some new shirts will keep my hands off my screwdriver (for now).

Thanks, Shawn S! My whole career, I've been collecting retired server hardware. I'm underutilizing my hardware by miles. Is there a practical reason for home users to use and manage this type of hardware?

Thanks, John D! Excited for the merch, is there any plan for the 1000 piece puzzle to come back, or for that design to go on a shirt?

Thanks, Chad R! Have any of your writers tried to write a video script with ChatGPT and how would you feel if they did?

Thanks, Brandon W! Why doesn't Luke get an aftermarket head unit with Android Auto for his car? Would make a great video. PS please restock the ABC Book Character Plush toys.

Thanks, Jack C! I love your products! Is there any plans for smaller WAG Hoodies? I have a chihuahua and I would love to get one for her!

Thanks, Dalton M! Hello tech daddies. I'm in the planning stages of a "budget" racing sim. Had the idea of using a steam deck in a dock for the controls and monitor to use the PC budget of it for a 2 for 1. Thoughts?

Thanks, Adam S! Hey LLD, What is a piece of tech that you thought would change the landscape when you were in your late teens that didn't pan out?

Thanks, Blaine H! Hello form Tennessee. MORE Anthony, Please!

Thanks, Richard W! DLL! Excited for LTX more and more every day! With the framework 16 coming soon, how do you think power delivery will be handled with a large GPU? Dual USB-C chargers?

Thanks, William H! I don't know why this has been bothering me for so many years, but why is the second half of TechLinked always Quick Bits? In Netlinked, there were ones like Snippy Snippets

Thanks, Chintan V! Why is it that a lot of your videos have different aspect ratios, throughout multiple channels? @Dan - please hit Linus (politely) next time he says hit me! I always imagine you doing this and laugh!

Thanks, Jacob K! Really been loving the wan lately. If you could do anything (YouTube/product/totally different thing) and be guaranteed to succeed what would it be?

Thanks, Grant K! Love the show, YouTube watcher here. Floatplane, I'm also a sub, is great but for us peeps that watch on our TVs, any plan for a Roku app? Would be absolutely awesome!! Hi Dan, You're epic!!

Thanks, Michael C! Huge fan of the Lab, especially as a rhythm gamer who prioritizes audio and input latency. Phones removing aux is awful due to this. Any chance a video could include arcade rhythm games in the future?

Thanks, David M! So wish I could get to the other side of the country for LTX! Maybe next year? My whole wardrobe is pretty much LTT now...

Thanks, Dakota D! I've been a huge fan of the recent "AI with Luke while Linus walks off" segments. Have you considered making them into a regular show on one of the channels? (Ideally with Luke hosting)

Thanks, ryan g! Did the pool at Linus's house every get finished ?

Thanks, Andy T! Hi, previously you asked if a non-fan partner would be attracted if the wearer wore LTT underwear. I asked my GF, it wouldn't have changed her attraction, but would have increased her interest in me.

Thanks, Anonymous! I work in Tax Accounting helping to transition companies to modern tech solutions. Its usually a struggle (everything in excel!) Any bad experiences trying to shift to new technologies?

Thanks, Lyra R! Love the show! Any news on the Potato 'NFTs'?

Thanks, Andrew S! I had a question for tonight, but I forgot, so now I get two merch messages for the price of one! Gaming the system!

Thanks, Cody N! Hey All: Just wanted to say thanks so much for being here each week. I work alone in a warehouse at night; listening to y'all on Fridays has been super helpful for my depression and anxiety. Thanks!

Thanks, Tobias K! Greetings from 4am Germany. Is Non-GPU-PCle dead for Consumers? GPUs are huge and blocking half of them. Your last video also showed thermal problems and still only few putting a x4 above the GPU.

Thanks, Bennett S! Hey DLL! Running Ryzen 9, DDR5 6000, & a premium ASUS board. The EXPO profile fails to boot from a cold start and blue screens. Do you think it should be legal to sell high end products in this state?

Thanks, Thomas S! Hi buddy I love you

Thanks, Andrew S! Music recording PC build when? I would love to see the kind of setup y'all would do with an interface, some big beautiful monitors, microphones, and sound panels.

Thanks, Trey S! Hi DLL, I'm looking to upgrade my CPU from the 8700k as I'm learning CAD for 3D printing. Is It worth upgrading to DDRS or stick with DDR4 for another half a decade? Love the show and channels! Thank

Thanks, Anonymous! THANK YOU LTT

Thanks, Ken H! Just want to say thanks to all of you that work for LTT for the work you do and content you create. Love your channels!

Thanks, Gerard P! Hey LLD, Do you guys think there will ever be any full pc motherboards that will be made with flexible electronics/ flexible printed circuits (FPC) technology? Possibility of weird, unique cases.

Thanks, Alice P! Hi Linus, why do I see mouse trails on my 1ms QD-Oled? I don't know what I was expecting, but I thought the lower response times would make them less visible. My S95b is great otherwise :)

Thanks, Peter S! Any update on the LTT cable management magnets?

Thanks, Alexander C! Gotta say, Love your content. Thanks for making these amazing products.

Thanks, Parker B! Have you ever visited the Midwest? (Ohio, Michigan, lliinois, etc)

Thanks, James S! Thanks for the content been following since you were Making content in the garage

Thanks, Matthew J! This is the for the Dan Man, and it's a reversal! what question do you have for the audience or what feedback would you give the community?

Thanks, Matthew S! My roommate has never heard of banana for scale; what other household objects have LLD used to measure when needed?

Thanks, Ellie R! Hey DLL, hope you're having a good night! Any updates on the summer hoodie? Would really hope to get it before the end of summer. If not I live in Texas so it'll get use year round I'm sure.

Thanks, Nathaniel P! Can you recommend a case that has support for both and optical drive and USB 3.17? I can't find a modern case with both.
