Thanks, Zackary H! I sometimes say things I've heard Linus say such as “that's actually not how that works” or “you are objectively wrong.” I've decided to call them Linusisms. Can you think of any other Linusisms?

Thanks, Larry W! Since the thing, LTT videos are not on my YT home page. I have to look for them to see them. But the views don't seem to be that bad. So is it just me? This live isn't even on the top of my sub feed.

Thanks, Jean-Marc C! Hello DLL, I like the WAN show bumper music very much. I was disappointed that there is no 10 hour video of it on YT. You think your YT channel or FP could get a 1, 8 or 10 hour loop available?

Thanks, Nicholas K! Would you wipe away all your past controversies if it also meant wiping away everything you've learned from them?

Thanks, Edwin P! Hello, Wondering if there were any thoughts on creating a bit holder case to store all the bits that you have available.

Thanks, Matt D! Hey there DLL! As a software developer who has worked in both smaller startups and enterprise environments, how do you address technical debt in projects (like FloatPlane)and how do you prioritize it?

Thanks, Nathan B! YAY Wan show 2! Over the years of wan show how many times has Linus or, probably not but possibly, Luke or Dan, said or done something that caused "chaos" within LMG?

Thanks, Samuel P! Hey LDL, are you guys going to talk about how the launch of Payday 3 went this week

Thanks, Leif M! Why does MarkBench use OCR to apply the settings, when it can just replace the config file?

Thanks, Levi G! Hi LLD! Podcast listener here. Turns out, we do exist. I was just wondering why the podcast doesn't get the same

Thanks, Ilkka K! Another 'Hello!' from Finland to the whole WAN crew. :) Is there a ballpark timeline for the precision driver, or do I have to stick with a micro bit quarter adapter for the stubby I just bought?

Thanks, Anonymous! still waiting for Ludwig's bro vs bro with Linus

Thanks, Nafis S! Hey LDL, do you have one game that you can always replay over and over again? Aside, quick thing: the LTX-Exclusive store page's header says "Floatplane Exclusive". Was that intentional or a bug?

Thanks, Anthony K! This is my 4th screwdriver purchase. Already have 2 full size and 1 stubby.

Thanks, Ryan B! Wondering if Linus has an update to his shadowNAS. I have outgrown unRaid and TrueNAS has to high of a disk cost for it to be effective. I'll prob go back to Windows. Over 750TB & over 70 drives.

Thanks, Stephen M! Hey DLL! First merch purchase from a rare apple podcast listener! I've been considering moving my side hustle to full time. I do a variety of consulting. Has LTT ever used consultants or contractors?

Thanks, Deon S! Hey LLD, huge fan, long time follower. I find the 'business' side sometimes more interesting than the tech. Have you ever felt or dealt with imposter syndrome as you grew your team and success? Tips?

Thanks, Nick H! Hi guys what is your thoughts on the Cyberpunk 2077 comeback with update 2.0 and the expansion.

Thanks, Matt D! Hey there DLL! As a software developer who has worked in both smaller startups and enterprise environments, how do you address technical debt in projects (like FloatPlane)and how do you prioritize it?

Thanks, Wojciech S! Hey LLD, as proffesional plumber from Poland I have a solution for Linus's server room problem. You need recuperator with internal heat pump that pumps heat from room into your hot tap water tank.

Thanks, Anonymous! What strategic changes have happened or planned with the new CEO in place

Thanks, Alex B! Left my LTT Screwdriver at a jobsite and need a new one.... I was having tons of problems with android glitches, so I switch to an iPhone for the first time. I feel sad to say it, there's fewer glitches

Thanks, Anonymous! It looks like LTT's weekly viewcount is down ~50% from a few months ago according to social blade. ...are y'all doing ok financially?

Thanks, Tyler B! Hey all, Linus If you had to move where the studio is located out of, where would you choose. Not aloud to say that you would stay in BC.

Thanks, Tyler L! Thank you guys for having Jake help LANFest down here! My buddy told me he was super helpful!

Thanks, Taj P! Hi LLD. I am looking at downsizing my PC setup and the cleanest setup video from a few years ago has piqued my interest. How viable do you believe that setup is today? Any shortcomings? Thanks!

Thanks, Bryce B! Screwdriver. Screwdriver.

Thanks, Anonymous! About a month ago I won a CTF event using GPT-4 to analyze Nmap results, select and troubleshoot Metasploit attacks. All I had to do was to tell it I was at a CTF and it helped me without question.

Thanks, Anonymous! Why is the zipper slider on the hoodies on the wrong side?

Thanks, David D! Throwback to the monetizing mods topic a while back. Do you think projects like Black Mesa add anything significant to the conversation? Or is it by the benevolence of Valve they haven't been crushed?

Thanks, Jeffrey B! Hey LLD, With what Linus want's from AR glasses i think everyone should set aside their privacy feelings don't you think? (Also a 3d down jacket without the hood a possibility)

Thanks, Miguel T! Can you recommend a laptop dock that can do 1440p 144hz? USB3 or 4 is fine.

Thanks, James M! HI guys, first time merch message. Is there any notable difference in preference for merch that you guys see between regions?

Thanks, Cornell H! Thx for the nice merch. The Size guides could profit from metric measurements, for the none imperial dummies of the world. Maybe couple this with the account or display always both.

Thanks, Stuart R! Beep bop boop

Thanks, Jake G! I have recently bought 4 and they have been fantastic for work, will you ever buy/review the unitree Go1 or Go2 robot dogs? They seem perfect for a video and would be a great staff pleaser Hello isaa

Thanks, Lars O! Hey DLL, Greetings from Germany Is there a time line for the carabiners on the backpack?

Thanks, Alejandro M! Linus: favorite WAN show snack?

Thanks, Joshua G! Hey L And L, what do you think is a better solution to the forceful updating to the games on Steam? Do you think it'd work strictly on single-player games?

Thanks, Taylor F! Linus, I like city-builders too. I used to play a lot of the Impressions' series (e.g. Zeus, Caesar, Cleopatra.), Cyberlore's Majesty, etc. Do you have any modern recommendations that you enjoy?
