Thanks, Tessa V!
Hiiiii~ Ordering a gift for my boyfriend and wanna tell him Happy almost-Valentine's Day! His name is Derek and he loves you. Probably even more than he loves me. Anyways, yay screwdrivers!!
Thanks, Nick M!
L: "I'm Over it" - As a fellow ADHD-er, this phrase of yours hits close. But I often feel guilty admitting I've lost interest in X, be it after just 3 minutes, an hour, or a month. Ever felt similar?
Thanks, Caleb T!
Hey Low Level Design, Monday | was planning a trip to Canada, and now I'm stocking
up on merch just in case. With all this tariff shiz going on, is the brick-and-mortar LTT
store going to be a thing?
Thanks, Chris G!
Where I live, we can get Bell @ less than 1mbps, xplorer @ less than 5mpbs or starlink at 140- 250mbps. All for the same price(125-140) per month. Bell has fibre 200' down the road. You're right.
Thanks, Evan W!
Hey TechTips, Duke, and LAN! For Linus, It seems like there is more violence prevalent
in new games. How do you moderate what your children play, and do you have any
fun family friendly game ideas?
Thanks, Anonymous!
hey LLD! Its hard for me to justify spending much on tech that advances often. What types of tech do yall think will likely maintain their usability and luster for decades if you buy a nice one now?
Thanks, Ben B!
With Nvidia's priority of AI performance, not rasterization. Are you worried about GPU
software subscriptions. AI is reliant on good software, which in other markets has
already shifted to subscription
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hi LateFees, Librarian, and Dewey! I'm writing a paper for an organization of information class on how LTT Store is organized. Any chance you could share early results from the recent customer survey?
Thanks, Aidan S!
With advances in AI, how do you feel about it being natively integrated into networking technology such as firewalls and switches. Fortigate released FortiAI.
Reply @Aidan S!
I think it's invading everything, and getting pretty spicy. Fortigate might be okay, but any software on a network device could spy. Even without AI if that's the concern.

Hi the Brains and the Braun. I was wondering after watching the Clustered Storage Server video. You mentioned "a secret pastry related project". Is it still yet to appear? Can we get a tease if not?
Thanks, Perrin D!
Hello LL&D! About a year ago I got an intel arc A580 at microcenter. It works extremely well, except for one thing. VR. When you used it how did you get around this? Driver Support when?
Thanks, KENTON P!
Hey Wan Show, Time for my annual birthday merch message :) hopefully it goes through properly this time... What are your tips for staying cool while gaming in this scorching Aussie summer?
Thanks, Benjamin H!
Any chance you would do solid shank bit inserts for your ratcheting screw driver? My snap-on set has 1 piece shanks. 1-3# Philips and 1-3#Flat shanks which are great and you never lose a bit tip.
Thanks, Scott M!
Fellas fellas fellas, sick work pants, screwdrivers, and backpack. I use your goods all day everyday at my job as a maintenance man. Can we expect any other killer work products soon? -Nipleless_Cage
Thanks, Cody C!
Hi LLD, when's more Women's Underwear? Also, Luke, you said avoiding news felt wrong—why? Any tips for balance? My wife follows it all, and I ignore it.
Thanks, Jeisson R!
Hello, First Time Purchaser. As I am trying to move to Canada, I'm wondering if anyone has heard or know of the experience of moving across country and how painful it is for future reference. Thanks!
Reply @Jeisson R!
Moving anywhere new is always hard. But worse because of the billions of documents you need to update. Plus losing your community. It's hard from paperwork and friends. :c
Thanks, Jarid G!
Hello Duke, Linus, and Lan, curious your opinions on the future of Gen Al and if people are going to run into issues going too hard too fast!
Thanks, Jason B!
Hi DLL! With Smash Champs being hybrid tech and fitness, have you considered attractions such as StepManiaX? The game even licensed Supernova and Crab Rave- Shortcircuit unboxing an arcade machine mb?
Thanks, Caleb A!
To DLL I'm an IT major in college at 16 and I would to thank you for influencing me to get into tech. Also, I was wondering if you guys have any fun college stories?
Thanks, Anonymous!
Linus after installing every smart home product known to man, what would you do differently if you started over? Building my home soon. PS floatplane on AppleTV when?!? I watch all my content there.
Thanks, Tyler O!
What are your thoughts on the supply of 5000 series GPUs, insofar as, how much do
you think the low supply is a cynical business decision to increase demand versus
how much is supply chain related?
Thanks, Emanuel V!
Hi DLL, been watching your older content on crazy hardware such as the laptop CPUs working on desktop and such. Ever thought about making a video on laptop GPUs made to work in a desktop?
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hey LLD, I didn't realize how different Quebec from the rest of Canada until I saw that
Nintendos Canadian Regions are "Quebec" and "Not Quebec". Does Microsoft Teams
suck less on iPhone?
Thanks, Anonymous!
After listening to the 2-6-25 episode of Distractible, where they talk about PC tech for
a few minutes, I think they would be a good fit for an upcoming channel like LTT.
Thanks, Jacob W!
Hey Linus, Luke and Dan. Do you feel the weight that LTT has on how it can influence a specific products sales? Do you have any examples where it can have a very positive and negative impact. Thanks!
Thanks, Anonymous!
Do you think gamers are being brats over the 5080/5090? The 5080 is the same price and 10% better. Isn't this just the result of Moore's Law slowing down?
Thanks, Anonymous!
Are there any new screwdriver colors coming down the pipeline? I really miss the retro edition, and would love some more color options. Also is there a future for a colorful stubby?
Thanks, Justin P!
Hey Wan Show nerds! After around 20 years I recently completed Digimon World 3! Do you also have any "White Whale" games that have long sat on your to be played (or finished) list?
Thanks, DIEGO R!
Hey LLD, I just bought a new keyboard and have not kept up to date on switches in years. My last purchase were Cherry MX browns. Any recommendations on some keyboard switches. I'm considering linears.
Thanks, Paul B!
Hey LLD, Odds on the Nvidia Shield 2 happening? If not, will we be stuck with ad infested boxes from Google/Amazon/Apple or will someone else make a top competitor with decent specs and AI features?
Thanks, Anonymous!
Linus, I built up my confidence in my hands on skills/knowledge via robotics programs in school. You've mentioned taking shop classes, did it have a large impact on your skills or approach to problems
Reply @Anonymous!
He's talked about it before and yeah, those kind of physical skills are super useful. I also did robotics in school! They are invaluable.
Thanks, Michael W!
Hey LLD! Yall are awesome! Completing out my LTT drivers with the Precision set!
Layoffs are hitting my industry too- lumber sales. Have yall seen any AI usage for
Lumber Material takeoff yet? Thanks!
Thanks, Caleb C!
Hi Linus, first time catching the show live. Currently rocking my 6-week old daughter to sleep and wondering what advice you have for a new parent in general and regarding tech/ screen time.
Thanks, Luke P!
The current US administration has Streisand-ed (if I can use that here) me into buying more Canadian things because I'm scared I won't be able to soon.
Thanks, Eston W!
Hello LLD, just turned 13 and am going to Microcenter for the first time tomorrow. Any recommendations for a first visit? Also, what do you think the future for MAC gaming is? Will it improve or not?
Thanks, Michael C!
Hey LLDan! - I'm moving my game/office computers to a server rack. I want to keep my cable run(s) clean. What do you suggest I do to handle longer peripherals and display runs (~15ft across room)?
Thanks, Andrew S!
Hey LLD, have you ever considered doing some sort of collab with Edison motors, with the development of their first production hybrid semi-truck, and their mission on repairability it that industry?
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hey Guys, upgraded my NAS and started downloading in 4k HDR. Plex stutters and Dolby Vision doesn't work at all. Switched over to Emby and all my issues went away. Linus, when are you ditching Plex?
Thanks, Emma S!
Hey Linus! I've noticed that "segue to our sponsor" has evolved into just an obnoxious catchphrase lately. I miss when they were clever, topical jokes. Is this something you've noticed as well?
Thanks, LEAH K!
My husband doesn't know I'm buying this for his birthday.. until he watches the VOD that is. So in that case, Happy Birthday Chance! <3
Thanks, te p!
hi ld when will the dan show happen. linus and luke trying to produce it and dan
hyperventilating, while trying to get through topics. PS beanie restock when
Thanks, Brandon S!
Yello Dinus Lan and Luke! Why are server chassis SO expensive! They are less flashy than most normal consumer cases, but often twice the price. Finding cheap racks also sucks!
Thanks, Samuel L!
Had to scrape together survey rewards to pull the trigger on the screwdrivers.
Choosing the black because I equate orange with the Tangerine.
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hey qwertyuiop/Linus, stoked to see Pebble maybe not dying in a fire. Ever tried the Garmin Vivoactive 3? its what I switched to out of necessity. 7 day battery, colour, media controls, etc.
Thanks, Corey C!
Thank you guys and the whole LMG team for a much needed distraction this week. as well as some calming thoughts and words from the preshow. your whole team means more to people then you guys know
Thanks, Christine K!
Hi ALL, finally needed to get stick locks, glad you still carry them after all this time.
How do you decide which LTT store items live perpetually on the store?
Thanks, Matt D!
Luke, as an Eight Sleep owner, What are your thoughts on companies removing features after purchase? Referring to the removal of support for HomeAssistant, and requiring internet to function at all.
Thanks, Nick M!

Hey all, long time lurker, first time buyer! Always been curious: What's your favorite style of eggs? Scrambled, poached, fried... Thanks for all you do, WAN Show is one of the best parts each week!
Thanks, AJ L!
Hello gents, if poo hits the fan and tariffs heavily impact C.W. sales, have you considered using platforms like AMAZON FBA? Store your product with them and they fulfill online. Net cost might work?
Thanks, Martin L!
Hey LLD, I'm a junior in college and feeling a bit hopeless in the internship search. I've had a few interviews and been ghosted every time, I'm unsure if I should turn my focus to personal projects.
Thanks, Benny M!
Hey there! I am about to graduate college next month, and wanted to treat myself w
a gpu upgrade. now im unsure if a 3080ti is worth upgrading... thoughts? I am on AM5

Thanks, Derek R!
Any chance of a high Viz T-shirt blank? Everything I have tried so far feels cheap, although I think I've been getting spoiled since I started buying LTT merch.
Thanks, Alex F!
LLD just sold my 3090 and on the frontlines for a S080. Luckly I have a 980 to game on but my 1440UW monitor is too good for it. What is the most unbalanced setup you have had the pleasure to game on?
Thanks, Noah S!
Hey Linus & Luke, fan for a long time! Do you plan on making any more gaming setup roast videos? Those have been my favorite videos of recent years! Also gaming/programming socks when?
Thanks, Vanyel T!
Hi LLD! Been watching since the Mineral Oil PC. I really hope these tarriffs don't hurt you guys too much, don't want to see you guys go back to the "Whole room watercooling" house
Thanks, Mihai U!
Cheerio guys glad the shipping's flowing once more! Is all this tariff shenanigans making you guys reconsider any new products or consider cutting down on existing tariffs?
Thanks, Tevin V!
Hello LLD! Linus, my Harmony Remote and Hub died, and I'm looking for a replacement. You mentioned testing the Sofabaton X1—any updates or new recommendations? Have you tried SwitchBot's new remote?
Thanks, trenton t!
Hey LLD, I have been watching since 2011. Its been crazy watching you guys go from Linus's kitchen/Living room to the garage to the house and finally to your current situation. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, Dalton D!
Why isn't the cable ties listed under the cable management category in lttstore? I thought you guys were no longer selling them until I went to the "other" section.

Is there any plans to do something similar with pc cases as with what you guys are currently doing with power supplies? I recently changed pc cases and man there were a lot of quirks to the case
Thanks, Jacob M!
Hi LLD, I work in a tech repair shop and am so happy to finally get my hands on a precision driver! On another note, what was the best decision you made when choosing your spouse/significant other?
Thanks, Erich A!
Hey guys. What kind of improvised fidgets have you come up with? For example I have a rod of motherboard standoffs screwed into each other with thumb screws at either end for balance to fidget with.
Thanks, Matthew M!
Hey LLD if you could erase your memory of your time playing a video game, what game would you pick? I would erase my memory of Zelda: Breath of the Wild with Return of the Obra Dinn as a close second.
Thanks, Ryan Z!
Hey DLL, I recently was promoted to a manager at the toy store I work at, and I'm curious to know if any of you have any advice for someone new to a management and leadership position.
Thanks, Anonymous!
Hey DLL, stocking up before tariffs return. I bought a black shaft screwdriver a while back. I love it, but the ratchet is broken. I'm assuming there's no excess stock for warranty with black shafts.
Thanks, Samuel M!
Howdy! Glad to catch WAN live AND want to spend money for once! Anyways, I recently moved to the Seattle area and would love to visit LTT. Are there any Whale LANs or events coming up soon?
Thanks, Jack S!
My partner and I just adopted 2 kittens, while they've had many, I've never had cats. Advice for tech/WFH with cats that love to explore your setup? (They've already discovered that laptops are warm)
Thanks, Ben H!
Hi LLD! I just ordered a backpack before the tariffs hit. What are some of your favorite tech gadgets you keep in your daily driver tech backpacks?
