I noticed that last week you didnt talk about spacex and starship. In 5-10 years when we are beginning our new off world tech journey, will LTT follow it, or do the tech tips stay on earth?
Thanks, Chaim S!
Hey let LDD, I like the latest tech to help with productivity, not gaming, but that doesn't stop me from running two ultrawides plus a vertical or two. Any chance of talking about that kind of tech?
Thanks, Zachary P!
Hi Two big L's and a bigger D! What's the biggest purchase miss you had personally, as in something you bought expecting it to be great but it was a total disappointment.
Thanks, Matthew B!
Buying a Retro for $69(nice).99; I was wondering, why don't you make it
$69.69? Double nice. Also have you thought of making a small case to
fit all of your extra bits and extension. PS Love you Dan
Thanks, Tyler F!
Hay DLL, love the show. I recently bought a Gigabyte Aorus 17H with a
4080 mobile and was wondering what your thoughts are on laptops
serving as a desktop replacement for gaming.
Reply @Tyler F!
Normally always kinda worse, but laptops in general are bad. BUT they
are at least portable. Maybe streamdeck tech will start to move in.
Thanks, Wyatt J!
High hosts of the show WAN. If given the option to either daily drive Windows, but with Windows erasing all data every days, or daily drive SteamOS (no data wipe). You cannot change later
Thanks, Matthew S!
Do you have a anyone going to the NAB, National Association of Broadcasters, Show in April? A look at broadcast tech would be cool. Also I would love an in-depth look on ATSC3.0 on future TV reviews.
Thanks, bastiaan v!
Linux, Lukux and Dannux, has there been ever a janky video idea that was so janky good that it actually rolled it out and use it. Any idea when the white rgb tshirt will return?
Thanks, Leomir I!
Hi D L LI really wanted the 12AM green water bottle, but it wasn't in
stock for a month, and for the past week, even the other Motherboard
designs haven't been in stock. Is there any way to change?
Thanks, Devon M!
Hi silly willies, question for all y'all. What would improve your life immediately, but by the smallest noticeable amount? Also if Dan beats Luke at Super Chexx I'll buy a 3d Down Jacket next week
Thanks, Ian S!
Hey all! Linus, first vid I ever watched was the "stupid" ASRock mini-ITX
mobo with LGA 3647 socket back in 2019. Have you seen any other
"stupid" tech you loved since then?
Thanks, Karen M!
Buying these since my gf got me a LTT store screwdriver for our anniversary. Figured some accessories for it would be a Nice extra. Love you B!
Thanks, Ben A!
Hello LLD! I am finally biting the bullet and grabbing myself a backpack! I'm curious what the story behind Colin De Graaf is, he seems like a supper funny character. Love the show!
Thanks, Andrew L!
Hello DLL from Eire :) Curious how the home automation is going and if Matter standard is making any difference, or is it still a hot mess?
Thanks, Nathaniel M!
Hey nad, sunil, and ekul Have you ever looked back on the growth of
LMG and thought about all the dominoes that fell to get the company
where it is today? What was the biggest domino to fall?
Thanks, William "Andy" S!
Hey LLD. I'm getting the screwdriver because the one they gave me at
my new fiber optic installation job sucks. Would you consider it piracy
to buy dvds from goodwill to rip to plex? I don't tbh
Thanks, Leo L!
Hi mom! Hi Dan, hi Linus and hi Luke! Luke, I stayed up way past my bedtime watching your dad's curling final with your commentary. It's genuinely a great time and so interesting, more streams plz!
Thanks, Christian R!
Hey LL Cool D, Where should someone start when they want to move beyond their tvs built in speakers? Are higher end soundbar kits with a subwoofer enough for most people nowadays?
Thanks, Robert E!
Hello DLL! For the longest time I've been infatuated with Maslow's hierarchy of needs and the idea of self actualization. Do you guys believe that "meaning" and "purpose" are found, or chosen?
Reply @Robert E!
Yes absolutely. But they may be discovered rather than made up. Found perhaps, but the choice to go and find them, and the choice to work at it, is the difference that makes them.
Thanks, Kevin M!
Backpack discount let's goo! I trust you bro. Anything you can share or leak about the upcoming smaller backpack? Nick said it was cool to leak it so don't worry...
Thanks, Michael S!
Hey dijiff.dll! Linus, I might have missed it, but any news on the NAS-software since the "you're live on WAN"? Also, Dan; do you stream? I need more Dantasticality in my life.
Thanks, Christian R!
I love the Screwdriver unfortunately i lost it. was thinking about grabbing the backpack but was wondering would you recommend it for telecomunitcation tools (wrenches, nippers, ect)?
Reply @Christian R!
Not entirely sure! Might actually be a fun question for LTT Store support who can forward it to someone internally who uses them a lot.
Thanks, Drew B!
Linus, Luke, and Dan I want to hear from each of you If safety was figured out, would you want nuclear power plants to become more common, and why?
Reply @Drew B!
In my own opinion, as Dan, safety isn't a concern, and it's often a more
green source compared to others. So yes. Please. More CANDU
production for more jobs too. Economy.
Thanks, Thomas m!
Hey DLL, what piece of audio tech do you wish was just better, or has
gotten better recently in a life changing way. For me it's how Windows
handles audio. Core Audio on Mac is just better.

Dear LAN Lecturers (DLL), first merch message didn't go through - will
there ever be mystery screwdrivers again? I love getting the random
colored parts to show off!
Thanks, Nick B!
Danielle, Lynette and Lucy. Hello from Melbourne Australia. A personal
question if you want to answer it. When have you felt your lowest in
life and what steps did you take to guide yourself out
Reply @Nick B!
My story is far to heavy for discussion here sadly. :) Basically, you need support, and you have to try, every day, forever. Which sucks.
Thanks, Louis S!
Any chance to do a build for Captain Disillusion (or at least his overworked intern Alan)? Something fast to speed up his posting schedule?

Hello WAN.DLL, Given the security concerns of cloud based camera systems, will you ever make a video showing how to setup a local camera system with your own private tunnel for remote viewing?
Thanks, Nathan M!
F*** yeah! WAN Show on my b-day! What's your thoughts on a major car company (Toyota) finally showing interest in hydrogen engines? Ps. Bought a hat earlier, but a bit too early to merch message lol
Reply @Nathan M!
Hydrogen doesn't really make any sense now. It's great on paper, but
most gas stations don't even carry propane. Deployment is way harder
than just a plug. Electric+green sources.
Thanks, Luis M!
Hello DLL, I have enjoyed some floatplane exclusives featuring Sarah and Maria. Are there any plans to bring them into more mainstream releases
Reply @Luis M!
Lots of us non-standard hosts appear occasionally! Normally only if something is best for them. Sarah and Maria in particular have very intense jobs which videos take away from.
Thanks, William G!
Hey Guys! If you could go back to any video call/conference software from the last 20 years and modernize it for pro/personal use today, which would it be and why? Love the show!
Reply @William G!
MSN messenger. I want that in my life. Although Telegram is pretty good 5 out of 7 perfect score. Something gross like Skype. I hate Discord which is Skype quality at this point.
Thanks, Brian B!
Hey all, Any chance of content expanding into the education sphere. Us K-12 techs may have many software options that seem redundant and we want to do the best we can for the kids.
Reply @Tyler L!
They removed the "select" of a folder with the right mouse button. Now you have to left click on a file, then right click it. Instead of a combo click with RMB.
Thanks, Kevin K!
Just like with homework I waited with my backpack discount code until the last possible moment :^) (sadly a lot of the cheaper stuff I wanted is still out of stock)
Thanks, Hendrik W!
Apple was also sued recenzl, by the eu over 1.8 billion € for music streaming shenanigans. I don't know what came of it tho. Really hope they'll get another fine for their 3rd party appstore scam xD

Are there any plans to become B Corp certified at some point? After last week's mention of being a center of trust in quality products I feel like their mission aligns with your own.
Thanks, Michael H!
Thank you guys for all of the awesome content, love the streams.
Linus, do you ever think about your kids inheritance, will they get
everything? Will you try to deploy most of it prior? Philanthropy?

Hey LLD, I don't watch the wan show live but i do listen to it on Spotify. what do you think the future of listen only Wan Shows are? I am interested to know if you are considering not even filming it
Thanks, Sebastian S!
Hi LiDaLu! What's a video idea/project you wish you could do if you didn't have to worry about a budget or how well it would perform?
Thanks, Simon B!
Hi LLD! I am working in IT for the last 6 years and I am still trying to find good and reliable sources of information for news, hardware and software reviews. Can you give me some suggestion
Thanks, Juan L!
Why didn't the team go with IDFs for the LAN center rather than run everything back to the server? Was there a particular reason that made more sense?
Thanks, Thomas B!
Thank you so much for the quality products! I work as a touring lighting designer/ technician and use the screwdriver and backpack every day.
Thanks, John H!
Are there any plans to create more bit kits for the screwdriver? I'm loving mine but would love some security torx in smaller form factor so I can carry more bits around with me.
Thanks, Franz J!
Any plans to sell just the magnets of the cable holder products? I have a 3D printer and would rather design my own but using your magnets to save myself the trouble of sourcing good ones!
Thanks, Brad G!
Any way I can get just the #3 Philips bits? I don't want to buy more of the other sizes of Philips as the screwdriver already comes with them, and I mostly use the #3.
Thanks, Noah D!
Hey WAN folk. I work on PLC/Industrial Robotics and always find it difficult to find a great terminal screwdriver. Will the new Precision screwdriver have flathead bits that can withstand some turns?
Thanks, David H!
Hey DLL! Did you see that the APL lawsuit claimed their rules are so far reaching that it caused some devs to cancels app projects due to the fact that its not viable to dev for only one mobile OS?

Hello LLD! My husband and I welcomed our first baby two WAN shows ago and would like to know if you have any suggestions for idle games to play while the baby is sleeping.
Thanks, David H!
a question, the baby wooden toybox, is it normal that the controller dpad is mirrored? My little is one has been playing with it since she was 3 months and never noticed this little quirk
Thanks, Julien V!
Hi LLD, I've loved the quality videos and merch for years. Watched your
Handy Tech under 100 and built myself a Deej. What are some other
projects like this you feel like might need more attention? <3
Thanks, Blaze H!
My daughter wants Luke's water bottle, but they're sold out. Luke, can she trade this order for your bottle? She'll clean it, and take good care of it. I promise!
Thanks, Brandon W!
Linus, Luke, Dan: I can't think of a relevant merch message for you guys, but how're you all doing? How's life? Whatchya got going on?
Thanks, Gordon C!
Any updates on new bit types for the screwdriver? I'm still in dire need of a #3 Robertson bit. Looking forward to the precision screwdriver. Keep up the great product development.
Thanks, Jacob P!
Hey LLD, great debate between me and my brother that maybe you could settle. Would you rather lose and arm or a leg? Would the cut off point matter (wrist, elbow shoulder ect.).
Thanks, AJ O!
You have always recommended DRAM SSDs, but unfortunately most SSDs only have SLC cache. Has your opinion on DRAM-less SSDs changed much? Sometimes you guy use them in your builds, like

Hi LLD! As a truck driver, I've noticed there is a large number of people on their phones while driving! What if anything can be done to combat this growing issue?
Thanks, travis p!
hey DLL as a photographer would it be better to spend the money now
and spec out a good NAS or just do the eternal SSD or M.2's as needed
for back ups?
Thanks, Alexis P!
Hi DLL and future me! My Question is, what do you guys think about
non major brands GPUs? I've had a Inno 3d 3090 for a year now with no
issues but i heard its not always the case with Chinese brands.
Thanks, dean v!
Hey DLL. As the importance of things like GPU's/CPU's keeps growing,
do you think we'll see more competition in this space soon? Or is it just
too expensive of an industry to break into?
Thanks, Anonymous!
I had an early Kingston SATA SSD die on me. I was using it in a Linux system, so there were probably a lot of extra writes happening.
Thanks, David C!
Hey L, D and remote L. Would you do a build with a more senior person? As I am an old time pc support guy, it would be fun to see the 'in the 90s, we did this'.
Thanks, Victor M!
Hey Luis, Lucas and Daniel, there was a "comparison" for the screwdriver vs other screwdrivers, was there something similar for the backpack? is the precision screwdriver having something like that?
Thanks, Cosmo T!
You mentioned stopping development on the UV Protective sweater. I have been waiting for this product for years! I burn in 20 minutes in the winter and don't care about it being antimicrobial, I need!

I'm a software engineer and have been watching LTT for about a decade, since high school! Always thankful for LTT as my window into the hardware world... and also the maker of my preferred backpack.

Hi best boi Dan + LL I am trying to avoid Twitter, but often LTT promotions require interaction via twitter (that is fine, i just miss that one). Any thoughts on doing promos via different platforms?

A long while back there was a frequent string of shows where either one or both of you couldn't make it. Since then, you've been on a 0 miss streak. Was it an attempt to test the waters on many hosts?

With all of the power outages you have at your studios, could you get a natural gas generator and ATS? I had an office building where I put in a 50 KW unit to keep a small server room running.

Hello DLL! Given your stance on piracy - buying a game/movie and
playing it on a different HW or platform. What's your take on pirating a
game at launch and buying it a year later when it's on sale?
