Adam Neely has a great video on how Janet Jackson's “Rhythm Nation” was breaking laptops by hitting the resonant frequency of their hdd's. Would be cool to see something similar explored from LMG's side.
Thanks, Ken W!
Linus: I'm a bigger dude and I've got a lot of bigger friends, have you considered going with bigger sizes for merch, possibly up to 5XL? The quality of your merch is impeccable and I'd rather not buy from places

Linus joked about using Safari, but it is entirely possible to run a Safari-based browser in Windows. (Gnome browser running in Ubuntu on Windows)

Luke has been daily driving the 640z. Loves it because of an "out of sight, out of mind" kind of outlook. Refills it once in the morning and has water all day.
Thanks, Robert S!
Hey Luke and Linus, is there any talks about another live show, maybe not tech related or maybe just have Bell do ASMR ? PS I love you guys and the show. LUKE ROCKS.
Reply @Robert S!
We do have a couple live shows. They're Just Movies, and Talk Linked.
Could always give us some suggestions on the LTT forum.

I think 1080p is the line. I don't own a 1440p monitor the only thing in my house capable of viewing 1440p is my phone, and it doesn't look better than 1080p because it's a phone lol.

Hi Linus and Luke! Bought a gift card so I can say Hi from the Philippines. Question for you both. Would you ever consider hiring on a permanent remote work setup?
Reply @Paolo R!
We do have some remote work positions, but it's more for Floatplane and really handled in a case by case basis. Most of the time we are all in the office as much as possible.

Most games are just, kind of optimized for 16x9, and frame rates have a little bit of diminishing returns. Most of the best monitor tech is just 16x9 currently.
