Hey Dan. When Linus says "Hit me Dan", have you ever considered standing up and actually hitting him? Would that be workplace violence? What if you had permission?
Thanks, Max B!
Hey WAN.DLL, Thanks for all the great screwdrivers. What's an underrated or not used enough tool or bit of equipment every tech should have in their Backpack or Tech Sack?
Thanks, David L!
Are the other colours of cable ties ever coming back? I learned that my job uses them for cable management, if not, who did they come from?
Thanks, Eli A!
Evening DLL, with the takedowns of popular switch emulators Yuzu and Ryujinx do you think it has caused more harm than good for Nintendo. I had never considered using an emulator before but now I do.
Thanks, Christian L!
Hi DLL. With the new Investment Round at EdisonMotors are you investing in the company? Wasn't a Collab teased some WANShows back? They could use some shout Out. Thanks.
Thanks, Kyle T!
I've got a new baby and cargo pockets have come in clutch! Excited to try the pants. At what age did you let your kids start using "screens"? Also thoughts on all the smart baby devices out there?
Thanks, Lewis H!
Hey LLD, I know you're exploring different inseam lengths for the cargo pants, are there any plans for different colors? I'd love to wear them for work but the colour doesn't meet dress code.
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hi DLL, given the legal drama between Qualcomm and ARM, do you think Qualcomm is even more interested in acquiring parts of Intel for their x86 license?
Thanks, Rowan C!
Hello DLL! Can't wait for my new screwdriver! Given the rapid growth of 3D printing technology, do you see LTT diving deeper into this tech space? Love the show and keep up the great work!
Thanks, Joshua H!
Hey WAN, my favorite flavor of DLL Pickles. Question for Luke, Helldivers 2 recently concluded its 63 day promise to improve the game. Have you had a chance to check it out? I feel it is way more fun.
Thanks, Anonymous!
hey wanple, I was eyeing those cargo pants, but as an xtra short boi (24 in inseam) I had to hold off. Couple questions though, are they hemmable? Are there plans for a short ver.? How are the sales?
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hey DLL.wan! Could we get a feature to buy items not in stock, there is always a item out of stock when I want to order. Rather wait a long time than to pay postage twice. Thanks for everything.
Thanks, Anthony O!
Controversial take: I prefer smooth face Linus Speaking of controversial takes:
Russian contributors were recently banned from committing to the Linux kernel.
Thoughts RE: "Freedom"/Free Software?
Thanks, Tymofiy O!
With the mention of chair partner, laptop partner and dbrand/pia during after dark, the number of ads in wan show technically doubled. Do you have an internal limit or policy on how much is too much?
Thanks, Christopher D!
Hi WAN.exe Do you think ipv6 will reduce the need for the cloud by making device to
device port forwarding easier? Why or why not? eg: laptop to offsite nas backup
loving my color block hoodie.thanks
Thanks, Matt H!
Excited for the MCM collab video! after collaborating with the worlds best off-roading youtube channel, are there any other non tech channels that would make for an interesting collaboration
Thanks, amelia p!
Hey Dan and Talent! First MM from the UK! Could we have an update on any womens clothes on the store? I love my LTT womens joggers being 5ft but wide, Ive lost weight and want new! pls say hi jake!!!
Thanks, Brendan M!
Hey guys! I've been learning unreal engine 5 for the past 6 months, it's been a great experience, but I'm a little nervous about the future of Al coding. Any predictions about how the engines use Al?
Reply @Brendan M!
I think most likely just like, a really advanced search. "How do I do 'this thing I'm trying
to implment' and it will help you through it. UE5 is great! I dev in it too.
Thanks, Jarrett E!
Luke and Linus, to contrast the usually depressing tech news, what's something you're looking forward to right now? (Tech-related or otherwise)
Thanks, Jay b!
Linus- with the roll up TVs a thing, could rolling screens becoming the next big thing after foldables? I'd love to see a like 10in scroll that opens up to a huge screen but can fit in your pocket
Thanks, Anonymous!
Whats the word LLD? Okay slight jokes aside. I'm looking to in the next few months or
so buy a new monitor along with building a new PC. Will there be any buyers list in
the future on monitors? Peace
Thanks, Ty Z!
Hi LLD, big fan of the show I've been watching all of the old WAN vods while driving the combine. We are very busy on the farm right now but this winter I want to learn coding what's the best way.

Tuck in asap! There's loads of knowledge on YouTube to help you through. But it can be super daunting, so have a "thing" you wanna do and work backwards.
Thanks, Eric J!
Hey DLL, sitting here listening to the stream doing my plaque brachial therapy for my eye cancer. Can't read well, but I can listen! What is your most interesting non tech podcast and or book to read?
Thanks, Dmitry B!
Hi, question for Linus. In Supreme Commander, how do you deal with end game lag when all players get to unit cap? Same in Stellaris, Kerbal Space Program, Minecraft etc when there are too many things
Thanks, Kyle T!

Did you see that Musk acknowledged that Linus called it? During the earnings call Wed. he said HW3 “may not achieve unsupervised autonomous driving" and that in that case they will upgrade those cars.
Thanks, Antulio R!
Hello guys! Why does my system boot weird when I use 4 sticks of ram vs 2? It thinks for a bit before it fully boots. With 2 sticks it boots instantly. Why would that happen? Love the show!
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hey Luke's mom and DLL. What are your thoughts on CoD Blops 6 having a advanced audio subscription? What's next charging to unlock framerate?
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hi LDL, any thoughts on 80/20 business principles? My company has a new CEO from private equity. Sites are now closing and jobs at HQ are being cut, many from IT.
Thanks, Brandin L!
DLL, but mostly Dan, you should take the cut footage from the karaoke video and make the new album with the help of volunteers for more songs >: D
Thanks, Jacob M!
Howdy from Texas! As a current comp student, seeing that chatgpt can do simple code better than me rn, how do you stay confident software engineers will still exist in our quickly developing ai world
Reply @Jacob M!
I think it might be an adaptation thing. There's a lot of integration it still can't do. But
it might end up as a filter which is scary. Only the top 1% will do well.
Thanks, Cody S!
big fan of the interior color of the lux backpack and the luxe tech sack. Is there any plans to do more things in this color? Big fan of the blue/teal color.
Thanks, Noah S!
Hey Linus, Luke, and Dan! Are there any interesting tech crossovers with analogue gaming that you would like to explore? (Table screens for D&D campaigns, 3D Printing, Models, ETC.) Thought?
Thanks, Chad H!
Hey Luke and Linus, thanks for inspiring people to love tech! I've been watching since the Langley house and you've kept me up to date ever since. What's your favorite video from that era?
Thanks, Nate B!
When the stars finally align that I'm buying something and it happens to be WAN show at the same time... and now I can't think of anything. So hi there!
Thanks, jon o!
Hey LDL, I'm 28 and own a n msp. manage about 500 endpoints across 30 ish companies. I love the tech and dislike the business side. I'm about to hire somebody. Should i go tech or admin/assistant
Thanks, Anthony N!
Hi Dan and Ls! I'm doing a project on materials failure analysis. I can pull some random stuff, but I'd love to analyze something related to PCs or tech (metals are easiest). Any ideas for sourcing?
Thanks, Anonymous!
Dan, why do you choose Chewy over Bell to read extra merch messages? Chewy chose too many merch-related questions the last few times, and I don't think Bell has put LMG under any controversies.
Reply @Anonymous!
Chewy is more available than Bell is. Both can act as my backup, but it's nice to have more assistance than just Bell. Bell's already trained, Chewy is still in the process. :)
Thanks, Dustin M!
I've watched your content for years, I love all the various channels. I buy this water bottle in thanks for all the knowledge you have passed on to millions of people including myself. Legends....
Thanks, Daniel R!
Hi dll, Does the Floatplanes tech stack utilize open source software? If so, do you worry that license changes (like what happened with Redis) could impact future maintainability?
Reply @Anonymous!
Can't burn out if you're always being burnt out. What I was told one day was to
actually schedule relax time. Like on the calendar. It can be a lot, but your focus has
narrow.
Thanks, Joshua H!

Have you guys looked into spinning up additional businesses/ non-profits to fund the new campus? I'm doing something similar where I work now.
Thanks, Anonymous!
Linus the Short, Luke the Tall and Dan the Man, how do you feel about the need to not say PR unsafe stuff? How do you keep the balance between being PR safe and being genuine/transparent?
Thanks, Anonymous!

You say you're against tiktok doomscroll things, BUT you do make YT shorts etc. So
isn't that just being part of the problem at that point? Also, does that mean you don't
condone anybody using tiktok?
Thanks, Judah H!
Hey there D-Branded Blonde, Fluke, and Danish! I must say the scribedriver is the best pen I have ever purchased... any future plans for more office supply type products? Would love to see it!
Thanks, Anonymous!

hi wan.so, you often talk about how running a VPN is like printing money, but then turn around and talk about how expensive streaming is. Both are bandwidth intensive so why the difference in margin?
Thanks, Jacob B!
Linus, Luke, Dan...What is one tech product that you frequently use day to day that you would not miss if the technology did not exist at all?
Thanks, Stefan I!
Hi Dune, Lake and Lun, I manage around 180 people in a land far away. I am having trouble with my two Area Managers (they manage around 90 people each). Their performance has slowly gone down over time
Thanks, Adam S!
Any updates you have heard/can share on HexOS. My home server recently went down after 5 solid years. Wanting to wait on a new build (I've got a raspi to get me by for now) till HoS comes out.
Thanks, Bruce L!
Hey DLL, How do I explain to my dad "the algorithm" to my dad? I recently had to explain to him that a musical artist that he *doesn't* follow/keep up with is still relevant today despite their legacy
Reply @Bruce L!
YouTube shows you videos that keep you on the platform. Other profiles like him, based on his watch history, stay because of certain videos. So they are served to him.
Thanks, Lance S!
Thank you Linus and the gang! I'm finishing building my first pc and I wouldn't have
been able to do it without your videos. When's the next pc build stream?
Thanks, Shawn-Michael W!
I noticed you haven't had any new bonus bin items for a while. Are there any plans to make a 2024 sticker pack, another postcard, some more of those cool pins, or anything similar?
Thanks, Jacob B!
Just entered the pinball world myself. If you want a safe bet and are willing to enter
the era before solid state, the 1977 Eight Ball by Bally was a best seller until the 90s
and is around $3k US
Thanks, Joe C!
Hey ya'll, I loved the Karaoke video. In a similar vein, a video covering the realm of at-home golf simulator setups would be amazing. So much variation and a deep rabbit-hole to go down.
Thanks, Jordan W!
Hi! One specifically for Linus. This is a personal plea to bring back 100% cotton white tees. I recently bought some of the last 8 shirts. They are my favourite thing to wear. PLEASE BRING IT BACK.
Thanks, Merlijn E!
Hello Dan the WAN man and friends! | just quickly want to remind Linus he promised
us a new pizza heating PC this year. He said so in the "reacting to our best PC build
ever” video at 16:55.
Thanks, Scott G!
Have you thought of consistently pushing out novelty products (e.g. microfiber shirt) with the ability to bring back if there are large amounts of purchases (like you did with scribedriver)
Thanks, Kyle S!
Hey DLL, after years of watching day after, I finally caught you live thanks to my off days being shifted. What are your thoughts on cars that have installed features being locked behind subscriptions
Thanks, Brian B!
Hey WAN! All of you are competitive: Linus has talked about teaching his son the drive to win and watching superchexx tape to beat Luke. Is there anything you do purely recreationally win or lose?
Thanks, Fletcher H!
Currently switching our field sales departments to iPhones. Do you have any experience with the management side of them? Been working on them for weeks, and as far as I can tell, they are nightmares.
Thanks, Nicholas M!
Love your earth-conscious business efforts. Noticed some of your clothing contains a blend of plastic fabrics which make them difficult to recycle. Where is your line between quality and sustainable?
Reply @Nicholas M!
Some of them still come in plastic bags too. The goal is to reduce it, but having plastic apparently makes the clothing a little more better. It's pretty sad.
Thanks, David N!
So excited for the datacenter video. First time watching with my gf and she wanted a
merch message. She wants more women's fit clothes.
Thanks, Josh O!
Any plans to sell 4mm bits in packs smaller than a full kit? Would be great to pick up specific bits that I want to keep in a driver. The set is so nice, I would hate to break one up!
Thanks, Brandin L!

Hey ld, what's your guys most wanted future sci-fi technology that you think we could actually get in our lifetimes? (The next 100 yrs or so?)
Thanks, Joseph B!
Give me an early birthday present, next time Linus gets premium access to a company let it be Valve. I want to see inside the company we all have so much invested in with our libraries.
Thanks, Dmitry B!

Is using an old computer with a fx 8350 to host game servers worth it or would it be better to buy a newer budget computer for the purpose?
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hey Luke's mom and DLL. What are your thoughts on CoD Blops 6 having a advanced audio subscription? What's next charging to unlock framerate?
Thanks, Sam M!
Hey LLD, Linus - how's the iPhone going and how long do you plan to use it for? Also, any idea if the Retro Pet Cave will ever come back? Thanks :)
Thanks, Orrin A!
If you could get rid of one tech product you have to use on at least once a week, by consolidating it's purpose into something else, what would it be?
Thanks, Dominik M!
Hey LLD ever considered to do a how to video on Speaker-refoaming / reconeing ? It
is such a great way to get very good speakers on a low budget.
Thanks, Jason M!
@Shorty Swift You've spoken a few times about your disdain for Sleep Country on the show but you've never really delved into it, care to share more info as to why you dislike them so much
Thanks, Daniel R!

Thanks, Logan C!
Hey LLD! Hopefully this is my 5th and final spout lid for my 400z bottle! | definitely unintentionally ignore the warning saying the v1 lid was fragile. Can't wait for more sizes in the cargo pants!
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hey LDL, I work as a private teacher for a family of billionaires, the family does pro motorsports, if you homeschooled with an infinite budget and had lots of travel opportunities What Would You Do?

Hello Dan, Luke, and Lunis. Are there any more long sleeve shirt designs coming in the future? Or a crew neck sweater (no zipper no hood). If so can we get any hints as to what to expect?
