Thanks, Carl H! Welp Sarah's merch the s just too dang fine to pass up

Thanks, Sam H! Hey Linus, Luke, and of course DAN! Glad I FINALLY joined Floatplane. Given LTTHackGate 2023, do you think 3+ multifactor auth would be worth businesses looking into?

Thanks, RICHARD F! Great job with dealing with everything LTT staff. You did great! Also the viewers who sent super chats to warn people...awesome. Oh, and more Sarah and Dan pre-shows on Fridays would be great!

Thanks, Alan K! I feel your pain, been there. Will you ever offer the underwear in a 3 pack of ONE color? I'm boring and don't like to have to think in the morning.

Thanks, Peter H! Congratulations on getting back on YouTube!!! What are the chances of background play being a thing on the iPhone App? This is the thing that pulls me away from floatplane more than anything else.

Thanks, Anonymous! What are your thoughts on the future of A.I technology, and how do you see it impacting our lives in the next few decades?

Thanks, Will G! Picking up a screwdriver to support you guys. Question: you mentioned that during the hack, videos were being deleted. Are those videos gone forever or does YouTube have some way to recover those?

Thanks, Eric J! First time purchaser loving the chance to support y'all!

Thanks, Chris F! Linus, I'm a UPS tech and I'm grabbing the screwdriver for work. If it's not to late, have you considered Vertiv for your lab? You're UPS luck isn't the best, but I haven't seen any of ours catch fire

Thanks, Anthony V! Please tell me you're considering black hardware on the leather backpack 🤙

Thanks, Brandin L! Is there going to be a revision 2 of the screwdriver in order to address the robustness of the bit holders? I also picked up ABCs and the shape sorter for my 1 year old cousin on a separate order.

Thanks, Tyler O! Any updates on that magnetic cable management system you were talking about for desks? Also, I feel like I've been signed up for an alert on black / orange cable ties for 6+ months or so. Thanks!

Thanks, Rebekah H! this merch message is also a shout out to my dad, who celebrated his birthday recently and who is responsible for us watching WAN every week: what's your favourite memory of a parental figure?

Thanks, Shaun W! Bought one for the kids and me. We helped contribute to the creation, so wouldn't be right not to get one for each of us. 😂

Thanks, Collin M! Hope the team is holing up well. good to see you guys on tonight.

Thanks, Adam H! Love the new shirt, and hello to future me on monday! I know you are working on tall boi t-shirts but will tall boi hoodies or jackets ever come to the store? -Sincerely, a tall boi

Thanks, Anonymous! Can't wait to show these shirts to our cyber culture team at work :)

Thanks, Louis S! Is there any chance for you guys to make an extra wide flathead screwdriver? I'm a piano technician and we use screws with 1/2" wide slots on the piano harp that get the final tightening by hand.

Thanks, SCOTT S! Super happy to have you guys back! Question for Linus, how did your Taycan handle driving during the winter and how do you like the car so far in general?

Thanks, Orren S! Ready For A Nice Long Show After That Wait

Thanks, Aaron B! New Floatplane subscriber let's go!

Thanks, Vince P! During the 'outage,' did you see a bump in subs on LinusCatTips?

Thanks, Christoph G! Hi or "Servas" from Austria. Loving my backpack. Any updates on the zipper? Also the rubber bands inside the chest strap seem to get exposed. Known issue? And will the trust me bro warranty cover it?

Thanks, Sam H! Linus and Luke, with stable diffusion and large language models improving at a rapid pace, do you think AI progress is following Moore's Law?

Thanks, Robin L! Just wanna say great response to the breach. Setting an example the tech sector clearly needs (cough LastPass, Eufy, Expedia). What do you think keeps other companies from being as mature as you?

Thanks, Jacob W! Could a mass-sign-out switch/program be added in the future in the event an attack that accesses an account happen again?

Thanks, Tyler P! FYI - there's no gender select for the new 3-pack. Also, great job with new Floatplane Luke and team!

Thanks, Anonymous! Glad to see the channel back up again! :)

Thanks, Ezekiel J! Been watching you guys for years love the content! Have you guys considered using the lab as a 3rd party lab that companies could pay you to test and independently verify products?

Thanks, Jonathan W! tried to upgrade my floatplane sub from $5 to $10/month to support you guys, but was told by the amazing support team that it would be better to cancel and resub. Love you guys, and keep up the work!

Thanks, Patrick M! Linus and Luke, Just wanted to say thanks for all the content and I hope things are better after you are able to get some sleep.

Thanks, Quinn D! We love you Dan!

Thanks, Greg D! Backpack money makes lab go brrrrrrrr

Thanks, Andrew D! Hey Linus, Luke, and Dan! Congrats on the channel recovery, wondering if we can get a LinusPaintTips video, maybe as an April 1st upload. WAN show is keeping me sane at work, glad to catch it live!

Thanks, Daniel U! Has LMG considered content on the philosophy of technology at all? I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on older essays such as "The Question Concerning Technology," and modern, complex works.

Thanks, Andrew W! Since I'm already a floatplane sub I'm going to show my support by finally pulling the trigger on the backpack. Hopefully it gets here in time for my next work trip.

Thanks, Anonymous! Do you guys plan on releasing a video for the 7950X3D? You can partially hear someone talking about it in the photoshoot FP Exclusive.

Thanks, Robert L! Do you pay your editors hazard pay when they have to edit your nude videos?

Thanks, Roberto M! Dear Linus, now that you were given another awakening to how important security is, do you plan on doing some content on cybersecurity?

Thanks, Anonymous! Stay strong Dan, my your fingers survive the night

Thanks, Alex F! Love your content! Does skipping the sponsor part of a video effect your revenue? I'm a premium youtube user to avoid ads sooo most the sponsor parts I just skip. sorry not sorry?

Thanks, Evan D! Luke, will background play similar to youtube premium be coming to floatplane 10S app? Rip floatplane lovehug. Welcome back

Thanks, Rob L! With the recent Tarkov events in mind, what do you make of the F1 2022 game cheating that came out today? For an eSport with millions in prizes to be embarassed by Alex Gillons video earlier today...

Thanks, Christopher S! Why do you sleep naked? No LTT underwear?

Thanks, Robert D! I am so proud of our community! LTT is a TANK. Long time a viewer.

Thanks, Sarah K! YAY for some merch specifically for women? What other women's clothing do you have dreamed up, even if not in the works quite yet?

Thanks, Kyle R! Awesome stuff for me and my SO! Thanks for this guys! Love you Sarah!

Thanks, Easton P! I get it, "phishin".

Thanks, Matthieu S! Why does Apple hinder their products with poor software choices? Just found out that Macs output at max resolution. On a 4k display, you can potentially be stuck at 30hz even if it is scaled to 1080p.

Thanks, Cody P! Any Plans to attempt to find who did this all to you and persue legal action. Surely the hacker wasn't 100% obscured. Thanks for all you do and love you guys!

Thanks, Justin F! Glad to see y'all made it out alright. Have you seen any of the US committee's hearing with TikTok's CEO? They seem real set on forcing them to find a US buyer.

Thanks, McClain M! Hi linus & luke, I was wondering, you always complain about how bad Teams & Slack are. What is stopping you from using Discord. Is it security? or the possible sensitive info that needs to be shared?

Thanks, Emmanuel B! Great to see y'all back! With all the crazy things going on this week, what is one thing that you are looking forward to now that the chaos is hopefully calming down?

Thanks, Austin G! Love the channel have been watching for a very long time and it never gets old! Also is goggle/ YouTube going to improve their security to possibly get rid of the issue your channel faced? Or no?

Thanks, Alexander M! How do you ask a merch message?

Thanks, Geoffrey R! Amazing job on everything! Been a fan for a couple years now and love watching!

Thanks, Evan W! How's the weather been up there this winter? The Southwest has been drenched, so does that mean the PNW/BC has been drier?

Thanks, Jaden S! Got a year on Floatplane. R. I. P YouTube

Thanks, Tirth P! How was this experience and what do you think you'd be doing differently going forward?

Thanks, Sasha G! Glad you guys made it through this mess okay.

Thanks, Chris H! I can finally justify getting a few things from you guys. Have the issues with the backpack zipper pulls now been fixed?

Thanks, Jeremy F! Just got a Vive Pro 2, full kit. Upgrading from Quest 1. Pretty pumped about it. What do you guys see for the near future of VR tech, say in the next five years?

Thanks, DiAnne C! Needed to show support!

Thanks, William C! I have a new AM5 system ready to go and am waiting on the "opportunity" to buy a 7950x3d. What can be done to stop paper launches? I was thinking of a queue to buy, would a newegg or amazon

Thanks, Sean M! Has this week changed opinions on 2FA vs hardware key authentication? Most corporations seem to have moved to physical security devices- we'd be interested in your thoughts!

Thanks, John Henry W! Finally both underwear options! Now everyone can be comfy. Since Foolish Bailey also got hit with this fake sponsor email scam, will email services need to change to prevent these things?

Thanks, Cameron P! Thank you Luke. Inverted Cordon Bleu still has 100% success rate. :)

Thanks, Lucy L! Glad the WAN Show happened! Looking forward to testing my new underwear. Any other clothes for women in the pipeline that you can preview or spoil? Also, what was the most stressful moment this

Thanks, Maren P! Love you guys! Joined Floatplane in the maddness this week! :)

Thanks, Miguel S! What is some tech stuff you wish you would've learned in school? I'm a LAN admin with a student intern and wanna know how I can better prepare them for after high school! Also, Titanfall2 Linus?

Thanks, David N! Thanks for the tech tips and phishing advice. Why are usbc docks so hard to shop for and validate? Anything you would recommend under $175 usd?

Thanks, Leif E! Subscribed to Floatplane to feed my need for LMG while you were gone fishing. Live it!

Thanks, Anonymous! Finally replacing my Water Bottle. No question- just wanna shout out Sarah for the great job on the Livestream earlier!

Thanks, Brendan S! What do you guys think of "glossy" OLED screens like the new one from Dough? Are they actually better than matte displays or is it just another marketing gimmick?

Thanks, Jonathan D! Hello Linus Luke and Dan.long time viewer and first merch msg. Shout out merch messages the only WAN ROl.sorry for the bad week.What is one of your favorite memories with Luke and\or Yvonne.

Thanks, Kaleb N! Hey Dan, Linus, Luke. Any update on we re-print of the Floatplane shirts? I was too slow to get my size last time.

Thanks, William B! Who censored Linus in the last video? Also what did they do to make you hate them so much? My friends think it was Dennis, but I think it was Colton because he needs job security.

Thanks, Isaac K! Hey Linus, Luke, & Dan. Do you expect to see big/tall sizes for hoodies and sweatpants? or just shirts? Also, any plans to post old youtube or wan content on FP a la Stuff You Should Know Selects?

Thanks, EDWARD G! Linus where do you like to ski? Luke and Linus if you could image any new tech into being what would it be?

Thanks, Jared P! I recently got a 32:9 Ultrawide. The stream is showing up larger than my screen height. I have to scroll down to see the bottom third of the screen and controls. VODs play fine. What up?

Thanks, Justin D! After the fun-filled week you have both had, what are some other catastrophes that you have survived in LTT's history?

Thanks, Saul T! With the company growing so large, and with the need to share knowledge throughout the company, have y'all thought about moving to a Wiki type system? ie, Notion, Coda, Anytype, Obsidian?

Thanks, Chuck P! Have you guys ever considered that 200 characters isn't enough length for a merch message that has some real, actual substance to it? I mean, sure it's longer than a tweet, but is that really a metric

Thanks, Tyler P! Merch message #2 for the week just cause I wanted the underwear ASAP and not have to wait for this cool shirt

Thanks, Aston D! I'm very excited to try out the screw driver. I'm very glad the channel is up and running. LTT means a lot to me. Thank you Linus for all the years of tech tips!

Thanks, Nathan P! First time getting to watch live in almost a year. I have my first kid on the way so probably won't be getting more free time but keep up the great content.

Thanks, Joseph T! Luke, did you have auto scaling on your FP servers? Did your cloud provider have to step in to help?

Thanks, Billy P! S/0 to the OG FloatPlane crew! Also, have you ever thought about looking at DiGiCo and their consoles, the way they run Windows with FPGA based audio engines for live event work? Could be a cool video

Thanks, Kim K! Glad to see you guys live and still bulling on! Dan, are your fingers on FIRE yet? Let's gooooo!

Thanks, Brandon T! MORE UNDIES!!! Awful to see LMG get hit with the same hackening/hijack scam. Glad y'all managed damage control fairly effectively; appreciate the transparency and bringing us along.

Thanks, Max B! Glad to see LMG back on their feet. Massive props to all crew involved. In the wake of the hack. Any security measures you recommend your community do or enforce for more safety? Regards from Guern

Thanks, Henry B! Shoutouts to Dan!

Thanks, Daniel P! Linus is there a location items are shipped in the states for faster shipping? Also any word on torq bits being in stock?

Thanks, Michael K! Hi guys! The hack turned out to be a great teaching moment. I was talking to my kid about computer security the afternoon before the hack. It didn't seem too important to him. It does now... Thanks?

Thanks, Ryan B! For Luke or Linus, have you guys looked into Lean Six Sigma to help clean up some of your processes around the office, or anything like it? (It's a QA tool/program I've used in the Navy)

Thanks, Marco C! LTX WAN Show going to break 4 hours...?

Thanks, John U! Hi y'all, avid "WAN show as a podcast" listener here. How do you think the format of this show will change over the next 10 years?

Thanks, Anonymous! Hi L+L+D! You guys talk about how digital privacy is important, but continue to use Discord, Google, etc. I was recently called out as a hypocrite for doing similar things. How do you approach privacy?

Thanks, Ryan Y! Always a shame to lose an independent review outlet.

Thanks, Joshua A! Thanks for the great clothing. Hang in there. PS. I hope they find some way to figure out who is hacking all these YouTube channels...

Thanks, Pierre-Luc D! Still waiting for my free BTC !!

Thanks, Cody C! Can you explain what's been going on with the Floatplane app? Subscriptions not being listed. Forced log out. Extremely difficult time loading the WAN pre-show. Lots of issues with the newest update.

Thanks, Rhys T! Intel Cofounder Mr Moore just died :( Also, all three of you including you Dan have been both as executives and the underlings. How on both sides of things have you dealt with constructive criticism?

Thanks, Jacob L! "Give a man to teach a hotdog, a day. Eat a man to give a hotdog: lifetime" - steven seagull

Thanks, Andrew T! As containerization becomes more prevalent, have you considered content spotlighting this tech? Perhaps some Docker-based game server content or 5 CPUs 1 gamer using k8s? Would love this.

Thanks, Patricia G! Hi Linus and Luke! I would love to make a talk at a security conference about yesterday's hack and would like to get the details straight. Would someone on your team would be open to be interviewed?

Thanks, Morgan K! Yeah! Another not black shirt. Best Regards.
