Twitter Vs. Threads Is Not The Big Story

Thanks, Anonymous! Hey gang! Hope the stream is going wonderfully! Are there any PC components that you think are underrated/overlooked by builders? Any components you wish companies focused more research on?

Thanks, Naftoli K! Hey DLL! Noticed video title changes every so often, sometimes within a day or two of release. Could you talk about that process? Also, how about Labs testing cat breeds, to revitalize LinusCatTips?

Thanks, Craig M! Hi DLL, loving the merch. Getting a "winter" Polo too. Any word on a left-breasted Pocket Edition Polo? xD

Thanks, Phil H! L and L, are you ever going to let Dan out of his prison? Every time he pops up on the WAN show, it looks like you're keeping him in some soviet era gulag. Also, tech dinos sticker packs when?

Thanks, Sara K! Happy Birthday Mark!

Thanks, Garren O! Currently watching during a thunderstorm. West OK, I am fine, but no power. Bringing back the snacks, what are y'all's preferred candy?

Thanks, Joshua C! Hello D.L.L. and future me! I started watching since I was 10 have been watching for about 6 years. What would you say to any young teens in your audience? P.S. Thank you for paving my tech journey.

Thanks, Jamison W! As a small business owner, I can tell you that every time we bought google search result ads, it was very difficult to tell if it had an effect, making the amount we spent at best a wash.

Thanks, VICTORIA Y! I helped build a new PC for my sister (i5 12600K, RTX3060), big step-up from the off-the-shelf HP, she can now play GTAS,

Thanks, Tuomas S! I was left dissapointed with my new steelseries mouse because the softw. does not have the option for a dpi clutch button. Mouse reviews never contain the softwares options in detail, could labs help?

Thanks, Nathan A! What happened to the aquarium PC Luke was gonna build? Did you guys figure out about the coolant and if it was okay or not?

Thanks, Kendall K! Have you ever thought about the ability to "cache" a merch message? IE - I buy something now, but can chime in later with a message when I feel it's appropriate using my stored merch message.

Thanks, Zach M! In an older WAN show, you mentioned not watching the Apple WWDC but saying you read the comments. It has been years since Apple has had comments enabled on any of their keynotes. How is that possible?

Thanks, Erik H! Hi LLD, what are the plans for labs, do you plan to test all types of hardware, high end, low end. And would you ever consider taking requests from the community for certain things to test.

Thanks, Anonymous! Hi all, what are your thoughts on Ad industry being one of top targets for tech companies and what other fields do you think would be alternative money raker for a tech company? Thanks

Thanks, Bill P! Linus, any update on your zwave switches issues? I've was burned by Insteon going defunct and now have settled on wifi/ip based switches with homekit for Home assistant integration as a replacement.

Thanks, David S! I'm trying to find a budget GPU for doing Stable Diffusion, but info on AI performance is hard to find esp. for older GPUs. Could MarkBench include an AI benchmark like a standard set of S.Diff. gens?

Thanks, Damien M! Hey Dan, Linus, & Luke, I hope you guys had a good week. That recent fan video was wild with the wig.

Thanks, Reed G! orange is not the most mature color any chance will get a shade of blue or gray for backpack? And on premium bag black zippers? i thought i saw silver on a Prototype

Thanks, Connor W! Hi DLL, do you think that because Threads is linked to instagram, it will have a better chance than similar “Twitter-like” apps? (Eg: Truth social, or parlor)

Thanks, patrick T! Hey LLT Team, Can I get a shoutout to the Lanfest Team and Buffalo NY's Massive Lan Event we are 218 gamers Lanning it up this weekend for charity! Thanks love you guys

Thanks, Mark B! Hi LLD, as someone with an interest in tech and video editing how does someone get into this line of work? What should someone do as a first step?

Thanks, Marysa S! for my boyfriend sam

Thanks, Matthew R! I love it when you guys do vids on enterprise equipment (NetApp). Do you think you will do more in that space and maybe hire someone who specializes in that area?

Thanks, Bill P! Is this working? Dan you are my favorite, stop just giving me "thanks"! Let me know you are ok!

Thanks, william s! I've noticed a very high frequency of ads playing in Youtube videos for toddlers and young children (videos about counting or shapes, etc.) kids that are obviously not capable of skipping these ads.

Thanks, Anonymous! I'm an electrical engineering student with an amazing opportunity to help design and operate a CubeSat. If you could plan a satellite mission, what would you want it to do? Thanks for all you guys do!

Thanks, Morgan J! Blue Sky opinions? Feel like it's screwing itself over by being invite only, though there might be server load reasons.

Thanks, Bill P! Ok just saw the message. I love you man! Feel free to skip those last two.

Thanks, Anonymous! Hey Ltt fan of the show. fix for the ad issue on the internet could via isp agreements have system where websites fee that can be tacked onto your internet bill allowing for 1> cent per vew payments

Thanks, Anonymous! More women's merch, please!

Thanks, Dallas C! Hey Wan team what tech have you gotten used to and realized at a later point "oh wow this thing is actually really awesome and I never appreciated it"?

Thanks, Jackson K! Wondering if you've seen MKBHD's coverage of that crazy green screen. Seemed timely with the gamelink launch video. I found the frame rate control for multi-camera green screen especially cool.

Thanks, Dylan Y! Hey LDL, Saw a previous wan show where you discussed a autonomous floor cleaner for the badminton center(?) Do you use a roomba or similar in your house that you'd recommend?

Thanks, Marc-Olivier T! Merci du Québec pour avoir traduit lttstore.com love u ♥

Thanks, Bryan P! Good evening gentlemen! Are there any "grunt work" jobs in the tech industry? I don't see myself as being a programmer but are there any jobs that are "someone's got to do it but I don't want to?"

Thanks, Robert G! Will labs be looking at PC cases? If so, info on vertical mount gpu space would be great. (Aka: Will my EVGA 3090Ti 3.5slot wide card fit a Hyte Y607)

Thanks, Michael N! hello everyone(especially dan), what's your favorite quote from around the office

Thanks, Bryson T! Hey L&L! Any plans to develop camera rigs that can showcase AR/VR products by reproducing the stereoscopic effect (i.e. a side by side camera rig) that makes these products work to test FOV, Hz, etc.?

Thanks, Mac K! Hey DLL, keep up the good work. Linus, do you think you'll be swimming in your pool this summer? It's been really hot on the US east coast and a pool sounds nice.

Thanks, Aaron N! I mostly use (and loose) flat heads for my LTT screw driver. You have Philips, metric hex, imperial hex, and metric hex. are you going to add a flat head bit set?

Thanks, Alex M! Hi DLL! Love the show.Apple grew into nearby buildings in its early years, like LTT, and eventually built a unified campus. Do you think LTT can get there, and what's your dream of LTT under one roof?

Thanks, Alexander W! Howdy LLD. I want to create an internet thing with limited experience. It may reach a wider audience and have more utility as an app, however I could make a website MUCH quicker. What should I do? TIA

Thanks, Bryan W! Hi LTT, I have a problem with my 8-bay Synology drive. The NAS is filled with Seagate iron wolf drive, and every few months the hard drives will fail SMART and warns me to replace the drives. Help!

Thanks, Ben W! Hi DLL! How is the video order on the LTT TV stream determined? It played the Secret Shopper series in reverse order so the conclusion episode played first. Loving LTT TV, really fun to watch so fa

Thanks, Alex G! I know it's commented a bunch, but any chance of a Linux based channel or series? What about more educational style content?

Thanks, Cameron M! I loved seeing the tech behind the GameLinked set! Noticed a few glimpses of Davinci Resolve in there and it had me wondering... What are the most "non-industry standard" tools you guys use regularly?

Thanks, Dustin S! Hello WAN Crew! There are many different home server builds that people make (whether it be for YT content or not) and I'm curious if there is a good middle-of-the-road spec for hosting games & plex?

Thanks, Richard H! Liking the new gamelinked channel and can't wait for more lab stuff. Are we going to get some merch themed off both in the future? I know i'd like a GL desk pad

Thanks, Chandler S! Now that Linus is no longer CEO, how involved will he be in the creation of new merch, and will he be allowed to leak things and upset the engineers and social team?

Thanks, Daniel A! With YouTube TV integration improving, and the rise of smart TVs, do you see a world where we start paying YouTube hundreds of dollars for channel subscription bundles like traditional cable?

Thanks, Jason K! Since you guys seem to always be wanting new Co-op games, are you looking forward to Remnant 2 coming out this month?

Thanks, Ryan F! Hi all, Just ordered the 400z mystery water bottle. Will I need to order a separate spout lid, despite the product page showing the bottle with a spout on it?

Thanks, Etgar K! Hey WAN team, do you have any tips for being the family/friends IT guy? I've built all of their machines which makes me the de facto support guy and there's always something to fix or track

Thanks, Kevin D! This is a test of the WAN Show Merch Messages system. Insert Question/Comment here. This is just a test... I swear. (Thanks for the mystery water bottle option guys!)

Thanks, AJ M! Linus is always telling me to say hello to my mom. So hello, Mom!

Thanks, Anonymous! With the end of Moore's law, the increase in AI/ML workloads, and the emphasis on power consumption, will the consumer CPU/SoC/GPU industry rely more heavily on custom accelerators moving forward?

Thanks, Gary K! Hey Team, China just launched a new "home brew" linux distro that seems pretty cool and it got me thinking. We should have another linux challenge! Is that on the map coming up?

Thanks, Dan C! What is the point of the 24/7 stream? Aren't you afraid you're going to poach viewers from your normal videos?

Thanks, John L! Any updates on the messenger/sling bag?

Thanks, Anonymous! Hi LDL I am an engineer in space launch and I'm constantly surprised by how much 30yr old software is still in regular use. What's the most surprising piece of old tech you have seen still being use

Thanks, MARK W! Y'all are awesome and I always enjoy getting my weekly dose of tech news from team DLL

Thanks, Anonymous! Hi LTT, first time catching this live because of the timezone. I'm building a HTPC for my living room. What's the minimum specs that support 4k 120Hz TV. No gaming, just content consumption.

Thanks, Tobias H! Hi DLL, thanks for all the great content! Have you thought about a time-stamped merch message archive? Often the banter and interesting topics distract from nonstop watching the screen like a hawk.

Thanks, Dayton D! Hey DLL, With CPU nanometer sizing getting smaller & smaller to an unmaintainable level, will we begin to see more examples of processes that companys like Apple are doing by combining individual dye

Thanks, Andrew H! Can't be there in person but.... LTX LETS GOO0O000!

Thanks, Marco C! Finally a shirt made for me...!

Thanks, Elliot T! when y'all get around to cables, would you please make an actually good one sided retractable cable? thanks for all the great content!

Thanks, Leopoldo L! AMD is rightfully getting flack for sponsoring games and seemingly prohibiting the use of DLSS. Do you think the developers are getting a pass for accepting these deals but not getting called out?

Thanks, Peter H! Hey DLL, do you forsee any other social networks/internet institutions being replaced in the near-medium term? *cough* Reddit *cough* BTW LTX merch looks fantastic!

Thanks, Alexandre G! hi

Thanks, Tyler L! How long do you think until other apps and sites start to implement Thread support? Would sites wait to see if it sticks around or would Meta's backing speed up that process because of branding?

Thanks, Sam j! Thanks guys for the desk pad! Is there an area of tech that you two feel is not covered enough today? Or is there a niche you wish was larger than it is?

Thanks, Joshua S! If money wasn't an issue and success was guaranteed, what tech industry, company, or dead tech would you want to step into, take over, or resurrect?

Thanks, Brody O! Love thecontent. Love the products. Thanks for being awesome everyone.

Thanks, Martin P! Just out of curiosity will you guys ever make Tall versions of the jackets and clothing D: ???

Thanks, Joseph S! Hello LLD, question for y'all, I have been dealing with my internet dropping service since late March. What is the longest you have dealt with a tech related issue with no obvious fix?

Thanks, Josh M! Hey LLD! I would move to Canda for Linustown. Update on the NAS investment project?

Thanks, Noah M! Dog wears people clothes, brain makes serotonin.

Thanks, Ryan M! What HDD with SATA connecter do you recommend for 16 to 32 bay servers? Also, LLD, what is your favorite snack food?

Thanks, Brian L! Just laid my EVGA 560Ti to rest. Bought it after watching your unboxing 12 years ago. Thanks for the recommendation. Any components that stuck around for so long you got attached to them?

Thanks, Dustin T! I would appreciate if you would save some of my money for me. :'/

Thanks, Chandler R! Any plans for a JIS style bit set?

Thanks, Brandon W! Google statistics shows positive latency impact of IPv6 vs v4 in the US and Canada. Might be a good video topic if you have the ability. Only 36% v6 adoption in Canada according to Google.

Thanks, Anonymous! Lol was going to buy twice as much but now going to try my luck during Lime Day, thanks for the heads up!

Thanks, Ethan L! Hey DLL, with the planning of LAN parties at the badminton centre, has there been any thought to also hosting any game jams at some point? They're fun social techie events if there's enough interest.

Thanks, Stephan S! Hey DLL, What have been your thoughts on legally splitting up LMG into different companies to minimize the risk of one investment goes wrong? Are holding structures common in Canada land?

Thanks, Nathan M! My LTT pin collection shall be whole again! Seriously love combining my love of pin collecting and LTT thanks!

Thanks, Chase H! Hey DLL hope y'all are having a good evening! I'm looking for a new indie game and was wondering if you had any recommendations

Thanks, Martin P! Do you guys have any plans to make a Tall version of any of the clothing that is currently in place?

Thanks, Chris A! Do you ever see gaming becoming an outdated medium? How close or how far are we?

Thanks, Dominick S! Hello DLL, as an engineer at Thermo, I was super excited to see our industrial chiller featured in a handful of videos. Have you found a permanent use for it, or do you plan on doing any labs testing?

Thanks, Joshua C! Does open sourcing make stuff non-user friendly? Linux is open source but it's pretty difficult to daily drive for most people, making closed sourced systems like Windows and MacOS more popular.

Thanks, Anonymous! Will floatplane ever have merch?

Thanks, Justin J! Hey DLD first merch message to the Dan show. I was just wondering how with have built a startup from ground up. How did you avoid burning out during your growing period. When you had dragon energy.

Thanks, AJ O! Hey guys, I know you said you're considering doing ScrapYardWars again. Would you consider doing a similar competition where you see who can scrape together the parts to build a better Hackintosh?

Thanks, Alex D! Hi .dll, how do you think Matter will change the home automation environment? Will we actually get better compatibility and interoperability between devices and systems?

Thanks, Joshua C! Hey LLD, I miss the old 40-50 videos from CES, COMPUTEX, etc. If not full length videos, could we get multiple YT shorts covering the entire show floor on upcoming trade shows?

Thanks, James B! Hello hello. For tech news that is only somewhat gaming related, how will you decide between GameLinked and TechLinked? Most news is pretty obvious, but I feel like some stories could go either way.

Thanks, Jonathan E! Hey DLL, love the show as always, hope you all have a great weekend! Linus is there any update on the NAS software you mentioned a while back? Any public site we can check for updates? Thanks :)

Thanks, Zane D! Is there any interest in a video about code development tips? Maybe something about linting, CI/CD, static code analysis, or infrastructure-as-code. To help new developers learn about those topics

Thanks, Conor T! I noticed Linus speaks often with a lot of Uptalk in the WAN show. As a non-north American, it's quite difficult to listen to, reminding me of valley-girl-talk. Is that unintentional?

Thanks, Tanner N! Lately youtube's viability has been a topic. What would the future of online video look like if Google pulls the plug on youtube or fundamentally changes it?

Thanks, Cole P! Any update on the Pool situation? Has any progress been made?

Thanks, Christopher J! Hello DLL! My wife LOVES the boyshorts for sleeping, had to grab her another set! Any updates on the residential NAS solution Linus is invested in? Btw, love my 400z WB, had to get a smaller one!

Thanks, Anonymous! Bring back black shaft screwdriver!!!

Thanks, Harley B! Remember the beginning of watercooling when aquarium parts were the only option? I have multiple aquariums and am wondering if there's any tech in this realm that you think is cool or video worthy?

Thanks, Eric K! Hi DLL. Thanks for all the great content. WAN show is my absolute favorite part of my entertainment schedule. Lots of love. Keep doing what you do.

Thanks, Brandin C! Hey LL&D, any plans for a bendable screwdriver shaft attachment? Would be great for very awkward to reach screws.

Thanks, Kristian A! Ivan!!! Get on Diablo IV

Thanks, Jarod P! Love the content, love the merch, love the Dan

Thanks, John E! Hi from Delaware! Looking to do music stuff in the future, and also need to update my PC. Macs get mentioned often for production, but I've never owned an Apple device. Thoughts on which path/pros+con

Thanks, Robert S! BestBuy walked back their TotalTech contract- 200 a year for in-home services changing to a $180 tier that only has 20% off svcs + free shipping on .com with existing contracts auto updated. thoughts?

Thanks, Damien W! Hi linus been watching a while and first product buying hope I like it

Thanks, Matthijs B! Hi LdL, I would love to know if you guys have any opinion on walkable, cycle-able cities, and being non-car dependent. I'm from the Netherlands myself so I know how great it can be, :)

Thanks, Alan P! Graduating this next week with my MLS degree and figured I deserved a new mouse pad before going into the lab. Love your content and gear!

Thanks, ronnell d! Hey gang. First time buyer, long time viewer. I lose every water bottle I've ever owned so I'm buying an AirTag to keep track of this bad boy *slaps 40oz powder coated stainless steal bottom*

Thanks, Ramsay M! Howdy DLL! Loving the backpack, can't wait to put my Jerry Rig knife and screwdriver in it!

Thanks, Gianluca D! Loving the DAN Show! I am a bachelor student in Applied Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, what would be a good career path, maybe with LTT?

Thanks, Juan B! forgot what I wanted to ask, so I just wanna say GGs to the whole LTT team GG EZ

Thanks, Joanna D! If you had to choose an emote to be your signature which one would you choose?

Thanks, Ramon J! have you considered making a 24/7 wan show?

Thanks, Steve L! With the implosion of heavyweights of Reddit and Twitter. What do you think is going to the collective knowledge of the internet as communities fracture to new platforms?

Thanks, Isaac V! Hey DLL! Begging you to start R&D on a computer chair. Been shopping for a while and everything is expensive garbage. Anything with enough adjustments to support my 6ft is stupid pricey. Any chance?

Thanks, Anonymous! Hi! I work for a major US Telecom and there is a project in the works shifting outsourced care to a Voice AI so naturally speaking that "you won't even know you aren't talking to a person." Thoughts?

Thanks, Peter M! Hi LLD! For me, Twitter and Instagram housed very different communities. This is similar to a lot of young people I know, so I'm wondering if you think the unbreakable link to Instagram will backfire?

Thanks, saif a! wouldn't the 24/7 stream impact stream views?

Thanks, Matthew H! Hi DLL, I just wanna know: If you could make a tech product (Software/Hardware) disappear as if it had never existed, what would it be? Personally, I would delete iCue/Corsairs lighting engine

Thanks, Marcus E! hi LLD whatever happened to the mineral oil PC for Luke

Thanks, Clifford B! Hi DLL! Soon to be a first time parent. Just got done using my new LTT screwdriver to put together all the furniture for the nursery. Best screwdriver ever! Any updates on the NAS project?

Thanks, Michael D! Hey Lumi!!!

Thanks, Luke S! Any tips for conference rooms setups? Tried Logi Rally, Owl. never a good camera + hdmi combo and always ugly wires.

Thanks, Ian S! Hi Dan and the Gang, In a few weeks I'll be a dad! How do you parent in this era of divisive social media, advertisements at every corner, prOn everywhere, and no incentive to create your own fun?

Thanks, Joe B! What new to LTX activity are the three of you the most excited about this year?

Thanks, Kevin T! There is a debate on whether game mod developers are allowed to use AI voice cloning to clone voice actors without their direct consent, especially for indecent content. What are your stances on it?

Thanks, austin b! Ahh, i forgot to add a message onto my last gift card. saving up for a backpack, when will they be shipped out with the new zipper carabiners? If not already.

Thanks, Fletcher M! Hey, I work at a small repair shop in Missoula Montana and am picking up a screwdriver to try out. If me and the other techs like them hopefully they'll become standard.

Thanks, Isaac V! Hey DLL! Begging you to develop a computer chair. Been looking for a while and everything is pricey trash. anything with ergo adjustments to support my 6ft is outrageous and still crappy. Any chance?

Thanks, David S! Fun fact, because when there is loss (theft) on a card the liability is on the MERCHANT not the bank, the tap limit is usually set by the merchant. The bank has a limit too but it's usually higher.

Thanks, Joshua G! Tell Luke to emulate the Wii U version of Breath of the Wild instead of the Switch copy! Playing in high resolutions at 120fps is awesome. Switch emu’s run much worse though. Also blanks FTW!

Thanks, Nathan O! Business debt is a great motivator! You should do some videos on business topics, that would be a great way to give back to your community and enable others to find success!

Thanks, Eric D! With google controversy the importance of diverse revenue streams is more evident. Are you hoping the new CEO puts a greater focus on not just quality but sustainability of the merch like a Patagonia

Thanks, Sebastian G! Would you consider setting up a blue screen in addition to your green screen? It probably wouldn't be very feasible to make a GameLinked color block hoodie or wear green if you only had green screens.

Thanks, Jonathan L! What are your thoughts on more laptop/mobile focused accessories? Will LTT make a MacBook/iPhone case? Your attention to quality and detail is unmatched, would love it in a case!

Thanks, Ylan M! My husband and I have been watching LTT for nearly as long as we've been together and it's been an incredible resource in kicking off our interest in tech. Thanks for all you do!

Thanks, Adrian H! Hi, LLD! Any bets on how long it will take until Linus gets in trouble for what he says on WAN show now that he technically has a boss? Shout out to Luke for all the WAN show saves btw.

Thanks, AJ O! Hey guys. You've built a lot of computers over the years. Out of all of them, what are your favorite ones? Both personal ones and the ones you've built for work?

Thanks, Hezekiah H! Just got home from work. Do you know if you will be able to prevent the excessive wear on the black and gold water bottle?

Thanks, Brady H! Hey DLL, I've always wondered how much creative influence the editors have over videos? Is there an "editing bible" that you try to follow. Thanks for all you do.

Thanks, Brayden B! Hey DLL but mostly little L, in the framework factory tour you mentioned that they assemble the DIY kits to test them, if they assemble them how and why are they cheaper? Also B and T sizes

Thanks, Ben S! Your videos pretty much built my pc thanks for the tips.

Thanks, Reid W! Hi LLD, will be listening on Spotify on Monday. Has there ever been a time you've been tempted to stray away from the pro-consumer mindset LMG is known for?

Thanks, Brad C! Hey .dll. Linus are you selling off the computers from LTX lan afterwards? If this gets an answer when I listen Monday I'll buy the LTT backpack! ✨✨

Thanks, Daniel T! Will there be any plans to make Floatplane merch like luke has? Also When are the tech pants going on the store?

Thanks, Eduardo C! Open IT Support Technician positions so I could relocate to Canada Love ya

Thanks, Jacob L! Is Microsoft's Project Volterra worth buying yet or are there still no good consumer options for ARM Desktops outside the Mac bubble? I'm an open source dev and I want to start porting! Cheers, Jake

Thanks, James R! Hi LLD! This question is for Luke. As we know, you are a wonderful bird dad; but does your love of birds extend to bird watching as well? There is an app that uses AI to ID birds from their sounds!

Thanks, Brandon R! Hey DLL, In the past you have said you didn't want to go into PC retail because the margins were thin on selling parts and computers. What changed to consider it with "labs tested"?

Thanks, Weston H! Sup Luke & Linus! What are your thoughts of a Saskatchewan court ruling that the "thumbs up" emoji is just as valid as a signature and orders a farmer to pay C$82,000 for an unfulfilled contract. THX!
