Hi DL^2, I have always loved $5000 extreme tech upgrades, I can't believe it's been over 5 years since Emily had hers! Who initially proposed the idea, was it LTT or Intel? Seems like a hard sell.
Thanks, martin m!
Turns out the water bottle makes a good self defense weapon. The down side is the police have my old one as evidence. But I still have my car, so that's a big plus. (Thank god for CCTV!)
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hey LLD, just got my ally battery upgraded after your video for the Jsaux upgrade kit and loving it. Linus would you consider any further modifications to your ally in the future? Maybe ram? Thanks!
Thanks, Eli B!
Hi LDL! Instead of glazed AI interactions causing users to expect other people to act like their chatbots do, doesn't it also seem likely that these users will also start to act like their chatbots?
Thanks, Peyton O!
Hey guys!, I work in a datacenter and have to torque things down to spec daily. Are there any plans for an LTT torque screwdriver? I would use it!
Thanks, Michael L!
Long time watcher and now recent floatplane subscriber. I have wanted these screwdrivers forever and am happy to support. If Intel fails in the GPU market, do you see other companies giving it a shot?
Thanks, Daniel K!
Good evening Gents! I got tired of waiting for the bigger sizes to ever come I decided to lose a bunch of weight. (150Lbs so far) Any idea when you folks will be coming out with the big sizes? Thanks.
Thanks, Ben B!
Hey WAN.dll. With everything being so software/driver focused. Do you think there will become micro-transactions/DLC for graphics cards?
Thanks, Jean-Frédérick F!
Hi DLL! What is your most memorable use of a tool that wasn't designed for the job you did with it? This evening my LTT screwdriver saved me by being a lockpicking tool to unlock my busted door lock.
Thanks, Kolby H!
Hey was wanting to get my now 3 screwdrivers engraved on the shaft. Warranty affected or no?? As far as I know it's not mentioned anywhere so is it a "trust me bro"?
Thanks, Gabriel M!
Hello from the east coast! Question for Luke (& Linus) -As the infra + infra team grow, are there plans for any IT Admin focused content? A day in the life of your infra team, network deep dives, etc?
Thanks, Kathryn M!
Hey Narcissus, Lethe, and Sisyphus! What do you think about the deal finalized today resulting in the US owning 10% of Intel? Seems not great!
Thanks, David R!
Hi DLL, I just started work on a journaling tool that has a local LLM generate prompts based on your previous entries. Do you journal, and can you think of pitfalls that make normal journals better?
Reply @David R!
Not journaled before! It does sound kinda fun. This actually sounds like a perfect use
for Al surprisingly. Not really hearing many of those these days. Good on you.
Reply @Amanda H!
You'll have to make AD versions yourself. I think that means just filling them full of bodice rippers. But honestly might be something to look at. Very close to SC colours though.
Thanks, Sean D!
Good evening L.L.D. Loving the Transparent Screwdriver. When I unboxed it, I was surprised (not upset) the color for the bit storage wasn't orange instead of white. Any updates on cables?
Thanks, Haden L!
Hello LLD from the land of apparently no mountains. Would you consider making a family storage NAS build guide using Hex05? I've been working on one for my family but I'm stumped on hardware. Thanks!
Thanks, Zachary S!
I've been watching your videos for over 30 years, hashtag first. Which is more profitable: someone buying one of everything from LTTstore.com or watching every LTT video? Love you non-parasocially.
Thanks, Christopher S!
Hey Fellas! I'm thinking of purchasing a retrotink 4K and getting rid of my 40" trinitron crt. What are some pieces of tech that you've come across that have rendered your old favorites obsolete?
Reply @Christopher S!
Honestly for me... modern soldering irons. There was a point in the middle there
where the digital were garbage, but the new computer controlled ones are insanely
good.
Thanks, Christopher L!
Hey WAN.dll, I got the Keyboard+WAN backpack lime deal but didn't notice that the keyboard got an english layout instead of the german ISO one. How come that the layout wasn't specific for the order?
Thanks, mark s!
DLL! Future Monday morning listener here! Q: when are we getting more labs content? I'm curious to see more about your testing automation and other projects! Working on my own tech diag prog for work
Thanks, David R!
DLL, recently upgraded 3D printers. Have been amazed at how the technology has progressed, 9hr prints went to 1hr+ and the quality is great, didn't have to calibrate. Any 3D printing content planned?
Thanks, Robert J!
Long time watcher first time shopper. Thanks to your CM3588 video, got into home lab and loving taking control of my data and services!
Thanks, Alastair P!
Hello DLL. What FF game would you recommend someone play as their first main line game? I have only played world of FF Maxima on switch but looking to get started with the main games on PC
Thanks, Chad C!
I'm a Microsoft stack SysAdmin & a tech Dad. My 6 year old begged for an ipad for her bday. I caved. I even bought 2 so I could manage parental settings better. It's been a less then pleasant exp
Thanks, Ryan Z!
Hey Linus Torvalds, Luke Skywalker, and Dan Devito! I've recently gotten into trading card games and I think I *may* have a problem now lol. What are some of your potentially unhealthy spending items?
Reply @Geoff G!
Linus and I love our beat saber. I like bumming around in VRC occasionally. But it's more fun to just try all the random garbage that tries to make VR work and fails.
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hey LLD, do you think AI clones of people are better or worse than people writing explicit fanfics without consent? Is the deliberate nature of fanfic is worse than the endless possibility of AI?
Reply @Anonymous!
This is a super scary and dark timeline because of the ease. It opens up a really interesting discussion on consent and tool availability. Photoshopping? Literally cut and paste?
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hi, are y'all going to add more games to your benchmark results on the LTT Labs site?
Also add the option to see results in order by preferred games. Thanks for being a
shining example.
Thanks, Matt R!
Hey Dinner Linner and Lunch, I'm very excited to get a fail pencil to match my fail pen.
What is your favorite most recant product that you have launched.
Thanks, Edward T!
Hey LLD I hopped on a used ESL speakers deal, but found out I needed a high end receiver to power them for HDMI eARC@4k120Hz. Have you hopped on a used tech deal and realize you were in over your head
Thanks, Ryan S!
Hey DLL! I noticed the commuter backpack straps often slip on the top fastener, causing the bottom fastener to snap when all the weight shifts. Can you provide 3D printable replacement files?
Thanks, Nikolaos P!
Hey there. I like to watch videos cropped so that they fill my screen. However, your graphics and text for specs are also cropped. Could you keep the info within a 16:9 ratio like in the olden days?
Thanks, Dylan M!
Tall shirts need to be a regularly stocked item. I've heard all the circumstances, but clearly the demand is there because they've sold out quickly at least twice now. Also I miss pre-tariff prices.
Thanks, Aaron L!
This question is for Dan - I know you have a history working in a recording studio. What kind of music did you work on and what was one of your favorite projects?
Reply @Aaron L!
You basically end up working with everything. My favorite project was a fiddle album (didn't like it) which was 70 hours of 6 songs. I somehow like fiddle music now. Life changing.
Thanks, Drayton A!
Hey DLL, what do y'all think of the current trend of console price increases? PSSs purchased 5 years ago have appreciated in value and a new PSS Pro with a disk drive is now over $800 USD.
Thanks, Chad M!
Love the show!! Have you heard Edison Motors? Canada's government is roadblocking them with absurd cirtification/regulations for their electric big rigs gererator systems. Any opinions?
Thanks, Daniel M!
Hey LLD! Does Linus have any updates from the smart door lock he recently installed? Is there a smart home device or feature that you wish existed but is not currently available? Thanks!
Thanks, Richard M!
Linux, Nuke & Bester - Dan, during Linus’ hair dying you started talking about conditioner and then your Big Hair brain chip was enabled and you shut down. Release the truth!
Thanks, Jonathan R!
Hey Wan! I have a question for Luke about the labs website. I've noticed it is really fast with a lot of cool web tech. I was curious what framework you guys use and how difficult Firefox has been?
Thanks, Tobiáš P!
WANers, How often do you play videogames in your free time, if you do? do you have
it as some schedule,'now i am not gonna do other stuff and i am gonna play
something” or just when you feel like it?
Reply @Tobias P!
I play them a few times a week. Really depends on the mood at the moment and if I have chosen to let something consume my life. Right now I'm doing random He Is Coming runs. 10/10
Thanks, Yan Y!
Hey LLD at this point I have and love all ltt screwdrivers(reg, short, and precision) any plans to release a super wide fidget top for the precision screwdriver? and (ltt hat pro large restock when?)
Thanks, Hope C!
I accidentally made the mistake of painting my whole house in my 2023 LTX shirt today. Had to buy more shirts to make up for it. Lots of love
Thanks, Michael B!
Hey LTT.DLL Please bring back the old shirts. also pricing to AU is terrible :( 2 shirts over $100 aud. love you guys, hard to buy your merch
Thanks, Sean M!
Linus Luke AND Dan, what do you see as some of big challenges LTT/ Floatplane in the next 2 years, what are some things you're excited about?
Thanks, Ava R!
I see breadsaurus, I have to buy. Thankyou for fostering my love for tech (even though I'm still mainly an Apple girl 🤗), much love from Aus au
Thanks, Pasquinel L!
Hi LLD. I work in 3D scanning. I think the consumer 3D scanners are at the same point
3D printers were about 7 years ago. Not bad not good. Good affordable 3D scanners
in 3-7 years? (BambuKindaThing)
Reply @Pasquinel L!
They are rocketing down in price. Check out some vids by like SuperFastMatt and there's a new carbon one that's only like 2-3k instead of 30k
Reply @Martin C!
I think we will try and find another product to horrendously mangle into a writing implement. To be honest, going through 100k would be sick and I'm sure we would continue.

One lonely LTT sticker is traveling across the ocean to Germany – shipping was the real premium feature. Globalization 100/10. Love u 🤝

Hey LTT.DLL please bring back the old shirts, like the keyboard and and gpu :) would love a green variant of the keyboard, nep or element. Thanks
Thanks, Alain M!
Hello bad cholesterol, LDL. What punishment are you 3 willing to commit too for the first person to break the WAN streak? Love the content...shave Luke's head please.
Thanks, Gabriel M!

Hey 6'2", 6'1" and (allegedly) 5'6". Are any example of products with really anti-consumer behaviour that you would refuse to review on (e.g. action cams requiring mobile apps to initialise)?
Thanks, Jenna P!
Hey LL&D, have you heard about the FF14 drama this week? Square Enix issued a C&D over an addon that let players share custom character mods. Do you think this ties into payment processor censorship?
Thanks, Daniel M!
