Hi Linus. I am 15, just got the screwdriver. I am an entrepreneur trying to make well thought out products, I am wondering where I should start manufacturing wise aside from 3d printing

Hey Linus Slick and Dan long time viewer not first time buyer question are you going to do a WAG hoodie v2 and also any big plans for 2026

I hear you both use Home Assistant (me too). Is there a reason you want the all-in-one switch sensors? Keep it separate and upgrade as needed.

Hey DLL, Couldn't help myself and collecting them all! Has there been any discussion of display stands or racks for the screwdrivers? For those with so many drivers!

Hi all, I'm an old follower and finally wanted to support you. I'd really appreciate a screwdriver option with the standard-size handle but a stubby shaft. Thanks for everything, keep up the work.

Linus, Does it feel weird to skip your own vids knowing the YT algorithm is -always watching-? I watch VODs on Floatplane but WAN on YT—always think about how I'm sending bad signals by skipping VODs.

Hi LLD! I would love this memory shortage to incentivize less memory usage by a lot of native applications, but I'm hesitant to be too hopeful. Whatya think? Less electron apps would be appreciated.

Luke. If a few AI write all the code, and those AI are trained on the same sources, won't we have a future where all the software will have the same security blind spots that attackers can exploit?

First, if a video gets demonetized, do YT Premium views still pay out, and what are your thoughts on YT allowing you to cut videos differently for Premium subscribers, shorter ad reads, for instance?
