[low maple]

Yeaa

Idk if the foam eases up or the body gets adjusted

But yeaa

[final quail]

They do. But they’re built to last so they won’t be “soft” so much as more flexible.

[green holly]

I was team camel but now that’s it’s colored I’m sold on cobalt

[final quail]

When my bag is loaded it’s pushing 30lbs. I just weighed it and my water bottle is empty and my steam deck is at home. 27lbs lol

And the shoulder straps are comfy.

[pine bay]

Good

[reef tusk]

Well looks like I’m ordering a shirt when I am getting a bag.

It’s $5 unless you are a OG supporter

[lime fossil]

Yeah yeah same difference

[reef tusk]

Not if you are like me and paying nzd to usd price differences

[lime fossil]

Yes. I'd like a wearable suitcaze so I can pack a week or so of clothes along with laptop, switch, and charger

Current backpack struggles with more than a weekend really

Partially due to the design not opening up like a suitcase

[reef tusk]

Sounds like you want the backpack that jet lag boys use.

[sour acorn]

I have a wearable suitcase like you’re describing. It’s just not a Ltt product

[lime fossil]

Which one / do you like it? I've yet to find one I like

[low maple]

yeaa thats 1 thing i kinda dislike about it, cuz in the laptop compartment, i keep the laptop ofc, in the middle compartment, i keep the 40oz bottle, tech sack, my lunch and my cutlery and its full then

for a daily basis i dont need more than that but yea

[lime fossil]

Been very tempted to just bolt a couple straps to a suitcase

Since finding a good backpack is so hard

[green holly]

Wearing a fully loaded LTT backpack is already like driving a motor home

I can’t imagine something bigger lol

[lyric abyss]

at the price I would have been thrilled with any of the options, just happened to get my most favorite of them tho lfg

[pine bay]

yeah that mystery screwdriver price was pretty crazy

[low maple]

Yeaaa

[low maple]

I have the same one!

[soft siren]

Even crazier is the fact that it seems almost everyone got the exact mystery driver they wanted too (myself included :P)

[lyric abyss]

some company’s gather a ridiculous amount of data to better sell you shit, and still fail, somehow ltt manages to gather minimal info and they still know their audience better (it was random chance… or was it)

[pine bay]

it seemed like most people wanted the Noctua Edition, and thats the one they had the most of

almost 10k vs ~800 of the retro

[bold ledge]

I'm super particular about beanies and ltt beanies are so far the closest I've found to a perfect beanie by far so i ended up ordering like 5 of them and they finally just showed up

[pine bay]

https://www.lttstore.com/products/backpack-rain-cover

$40

[rocky wolf]

I received the same!

[lunar compass]

Love the design on the rain cover.

[low maple]

ty!

i live in an area where it rain maybe 10 days a yr but i feel the need to have the rain cover

[final quail]

I’ve been waiting for this since the backpack came out. I ride a motorcycle year round and it rains 8-10 months of the year here lol. My current rain cover “works” but doesn’t fit right.

[reef tusk]

I would have loved that design on my camera bag rain cover rather than DANKE

[quartz comet]

a rain cover would be awesome but $40 + shipping is insane

because it'd be $50 + tax, so basically $60

[reef tusk]

Ikr I freaked out when I opened the box and it was a big purple box that I was hoping for.

I even got two matching mystery bottles which were set aside for gifts

[final quail]

I have a cover from a reputable hiking brand and it was almost $100. $40 is actually not bad…

[reef tusk]

Did I mention my camera bag is more than the bag and the cover that we are discussing?

Besides you can order other things as well.

[sour acorn]

That’s what I wanted, that or mystery. I got another brown noctua drive (I already had one)

[sour acorn]

Hey same! I have a like 400 dollar camera bag

A replacement rain cover for it is like 90 bucks

[modest pond]

I love the merch. I want the backpack but just can not get it yet

[reef tusk]

It’s insane right? But I love mine (and got it for $50 second hand)

[peak halo]

I wonder how much this thicc card stock cost (and who paid for it)

[peak halo]

Yeah, I’m not sold on this. The design is fine, but I’m not looking to make an already large backpack that much more conspicuous just for extra water resistance. I also seem to remember Linus wanted reflective ink, which would have doubled the cost.

Has anyone found an alternative rain cover that works for them (and optionally has sewn-in reflective strips)?

[peak halo]

Oh, it is reflective… I was half-asleep when I read the product description on lttstore-dot-com

I wonder if it’s reversible so I can just have the plain colour side facing out, might wait for a sale or a combo deal with a commuter cover

[devout hatch]

I actually bought the case

It's pretty good

mostly bought it because it was cool rather than being cost effective

If I wanted that I would have gotten a 20-30$ spigan case

[quartz comet]

you paid for it

[hollow pewter]

i wanted noctua but got retro

but they are all extremely cool colorway anyways

also dbrand case got drastically more expensive over the years

my s10 case was bought when it was about 25 cad and it was pretty good

now it is drastically more expensive with skin force bundled in

[viscid shell]

Looks and feels similar to Moo.com's thick card stock, so not super expensive but also not cheap. And you paid for it. 😄

[reef tusk]

the cost was rolled into the stuff we brought haha

[foggy sonnet]

I’m sure it was heavily subsidized by dbrand too, doubt they were throwing them in there for free

[paper mirage]

Thats my bet too, dbrand is the one that covered the cost to get their promotion included with every order.. I mean if even a couple of people who ordered from LTT on BF ordered those skins they likely would easily cover the cost..

[modest shoal]

Moo.com has some damn nice business cards

[viscid shell]

Absolutely. Even the cards 1-step up from their bargain basement cards are wonderful. I still have my original batch of cards for the select few small businesses / residentail users I want as regular IT clients.

[modest shoal]

So I’m not the only one who keeps nice business cards around? 😂

I work for a real estate company and there are a handful of realtors I know who started getting Moo.com cards, they thought it was weird when I specifically asked them for one lol

[reef tusk]

TBH i got some nice ones off vistaprint and my friends keep them even though they don't need my services, they like the feel of them haha

haven't tried moo.com but if thats what came with my order, i would agree its nice

[lime fossil]

Local print shops are another option. I try to stick to them if reasonable to do so.

Mine aren't actual business cards though, just contact cards I had out at conventions and such. Makes things a lot smoother than "yo what's your email or discord, I'll message you now" which is a surprisingly long interaction and can be skipped by just having a card in your pocket

And time at events goes by fast, spend that extra minute or two actually talking to the person rather than hunting for where a button in the app has moved now so you can stay in touch later

[dire current]

Hi guys I'm a big ltt fan. I love the look of the ltt screwdriver and want it but the price is putting me off. I know it will be good quality but is it really worth £70?

[sour acorn]

Yes

[dire current]

But I see alot of other screwdrivers with the exact same features but for cheaper

[viscid shell]

Doing your own research is the best way to determine if something is right for you.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=845HUaWYSQA

[paper mirage]

Yep, and advertising a feature, and having the feature work as intended, and hold up, are very different things

[mortal garnet]

Buyers from the UK, does this look right to you?
*Sorry for the ghost ping

[rocky wolf]

Yeah

Although

Why parcel force

All my LTT orders have been DHL then passed to Evri once in the uk

[mortal garnet]

idk personally I have no regrets that parcelforce does this delivery instead of Evri

[low maple]

I think it depends on how many items and the overall cost of the item

If it's just 1 or 2 or a small package they send with a diff one as opposed to more items being shipping in a box

[ornate moon]

Mine just reached the UK and is also with parcelforce

[nova quail]

will this restock

[main cobalt]

HI

[rocky wolf]

[nova quail]

hope its at 26th

[mortal garnet]

Oh great

I shall have a lack of christmas presents for myself

[lime fossil]

I have a few, they're alright, they're worth the money despite not being the best thing ever for me. The handle shape and size just doesn't work well for my exact hands.
But they're worth it as the 12 bit storage, strong magnet, and more importantly the low reset travel of the rachet make it super convenient to use as a general purpose driver. I keep one in the car in addition to my other tools and bring one with me to events as its just kinda handy. Other people often find the grip good so also handy to hand to someone else, great lender.

[rocky wolf]

Did you order the backpack?

That explains the use of parcelforce

And the customs

[rocky wolf]

Backpack order?

[mortal garnet]

yep backpack

[ornate moon]

Nope

[lyric abyss]

There is a gridfinity LTT screwdriver holder on makerworld with a cool hex pattern on it, but the file they uploaded doesn’t have the pattern which is lame and false advertising if you ask me, so anyways i made my own let me know if you have any suggestions on it

[pale herald]

Rip

[burnt marsh]

Is this a joke? I get a shaft extender instead of a screwdriver???

[near comet]

Definitely contact support there

[burnt marsh]

Email sent, just wanted to share here to see if anyone had a smilar issue. I just really hope I can still get a screwdriver I really cannot afford it at the normal sale price ;-;

[pine bay]

i mean, i got 4 of the large things of ptm7950 instead of 4 shirts 😄
(sent an email to support already, no reasponse yet)
the mistake in my order appears to be because of the SKU #s of the two items being one letter off, but yours isnt like that so I have no idea how that happened

[foggy sonnet]

Good chance you'll end up with just a regular orange or black colorway screwdriver, since the Retro and Noctua designs are out of stock

But they'll definitely send you a screwdriver to fix the mistake

[burnt marsh]

I hope so

Just sucks I won't be able to get it before Christmas

[burnt marsh]

and not a great experience being my first time ordering from LTT store

[foggy sonnet]

Mistakes can happen no matter where you order from unfortunately

[burnt marsh]

Thats very true, Im sure they will make it right

[foggy sonnet]

I'm confident they will, their support is usually great

[paper mirage]

Ya LMG makes more mistakes during peek times, understandable, small overall staff being swamped with orders in a short time.. but they also do their best to make it right too.

[reef tusk]

Most likely they will let you keep that extension and will give you a screwdriver to make it right.

[paper mirage]

Very unlikely they will ask for it back, the cost of shipping is likely the actual value of the extension..

[reef tusk]

I’m basing it on what others have discovered when a similar issue has been found

[low maple]

Yeaaa i both said the same thing

Lol

Took me 2 reads lol

[reef tusk]

lol

Just wanted to reassure them 🙂

[vapid ledge]

anyone know if the new rain cover will fit in the RFID pocket in the backpack?

[mortal garnet]

curious. Earlier tracking suggests that I will have to double pay taxes before parcelforce would deliver it, but now it seems to instead suggest they'll deliver it soon. *UK

[pine bay]

I’m wondering what they’ll do in my case. They sent me almost $300 worth of ptm7950 instead of $50 worth of shirts 😄

[paper mirage]

Thats probably worth them paying for shipping back.. and depending on what you do, probably better for you too :p If you're lucky they will given you some bonus too..

Back in the day when I ordered an iMac, the last mile delivery co left it outside my appartment.. bulding.. Signature Required btw.. only found it cause SIX hours later I got tired of waiting for them to show up.. amazed it wasn't stolen..

Anyway contacted Apple rather than just pretending I never saw it, and they gave me a $150 in iTunes Credit..

[pine bay]

Yeah I definitely do not need this much ptm7950
If they don’t ask for it back I’ll probably need to find someone to give it to or something

[foggy sonnet]

I was wondering the same, I’m gonna try it out when I get my cover

I don’t expect to need it super often so I would rather keep it tucked away

And don’t use the RFID pocket on a typical day

In fact I’ve only used it to keep my Passport when traveling

[versed galleon]

sheesh

[candid brook]

The LTT precision screwdriver has saved Christmas for me. I was upgrading the CPU on my LGA1700 motherboard when I accidentally dropped it corner first into the pins in the socket. I was able to use the smallest flathead bit and a magnifying glass to very carefully unbend them. Thanks LTT Precision Screwdriver for keeping my expensive computer components from being rendered into multiple expensive paperweights until I could afford a replacement. Merry Christmas y'all.

[low maple]

i use it to store the suitcase strap

bonus pts if they both fit together

[muted gazelle]

I had a similar experience and this was in the end of November when i ordered but in my case they straight up missed sending my stubby screwdriver so instead of getting a stubby and a normal one i only got a stubby one, was simple to resolve it tho, contacted support, i even got a free shaft extension after telling them i was pissed after waiting 23 days for it to arrive with 1/2 of my items in the package

[wooden jungle]

have you made your file public? I'd want one lol

[wooden jungle]

I work in customer service industry for reference. You'll more likely than not get the screw driver and keep the shaft

Shaft extender is only $9.99

You'll probably get a screw driver and may be able to even request a specific color now that you've had an issue, shoot for the stars

Logically, even if youre candian it's more costly time and monetarily to ship back the shaft and then ship you a driver.

Imo Manufacturing cost + shipping is cheaper to get you that screw driver than it is to go through the labor to inventory, replace the wrong items rather than get you the correct one

[lyric abyss]

yea I threw it up on thangs/makerworld having a hard time getting photo's to actually upload on thangs rn tho https://than.gs/m/1232059

made a 1x1 version for a friend that I also uploaded last night https://makerworld.com/en/models/908501#profileId-868917

[modest shoal]

Can’t wait for the commuter bag release. I have Christmas money all ready to go for it 🧐

[rocky wolf]

Same less than 48 hours to go

[reef tusk]

Yesss i'm so ready to get a decent sized bag

my targus is just too small

[modest shoal]

The Lenovo bag that came with my work laptop is literally falling apart 😅

Ready to be replaced

[quartz comet]

imo you should get compensated for that considering the inconvenience

like what if that was meant to be a christmas present for someone?

[quartz comet]

at least it was for you and not someone else

[modest shoal]

I get the sentiment, and I’m sure there are occasions where companies are willing to compensate situations similar like this, but making something like that a habit or official policy is a very slippery slope

Anyone could claim that their incorrect/late order ruined their plans for something

[low maple]

got an email that precision is on the way

[quartz comet]

hm, i guess i did not think about that, and i suppose that is an oversight on my end

[reef tusk]

as someone who is a freelancer that has had people take advantage of my kindness i can see it going way off track and beyond what it was meant to be. Letting them keep the shaft, saying so sorry (geniune) and sending the OG order would be more than enough

It is an inconvience but human errors are human errors

[low maple]

i agree, people take advantage of human kindness and the fact that ltt has the trust me bro gurantee worries me that atleast some percentage do take advantage of it. and as linus said, if people abuse it they will have to revise their policies, and it will be one of the "this is why we cant have nice things" moment

[hollow frigate]

Finally got my mystery screwdriver

Just in time for Christmas

[ornate moon]

Mine are still in customs

:)

And I don't expect it to move at all untill like the 27th

[modest shoal]

That said, I’ve definitely seen companies that are more than willing to make things right depending on the circumstance. In fact I’ve even seen LTT support offer to send replacement products and let the customer keep whatever it was they wanted to return. Again, depends on the situation, but it does happen 😊

[proven blaze]

I was in the exact same Position, the devery message updated after a few hours to say that i had to pay the fees and wait for a letter. However i just went to the parcel force office for my area and payed in person.

[mortal garnet]

oh I did not realize that was an option. Time to see if such a PF office exists in my area and if they are open on Christmas Day... Thanks for the info!

[proven blaze]

Going by there website all are shut christmas day and boxing day

[mortal garnet]

I am just 30mins away from the North London depot by cycle though

Ah yes just found that out. I shall learn to be patient

[ornate moon]

Mines like a half hour drive

[proven blaze]

I just knew where my local office was thankfully not that far. soon as i saw the message it was in the depo i chanced my luck

Beyond shocked i got it as it was stuck in California for so long

[ornate moon]

Must be busy this season

[mortal garnet]

Did you mean you were able to pay the taxes and retrieve the parcel on the spot (?)

[proven blaze]

Yes

[mortal garnet]

That sounds like efficiency beyond what was possible from PF

[proven blaze]

Seems to be a normal way. Walked in said my postcode showed ID got the card machine out and not even 30 seconds he handed over my parcel.

[ornate moon]

Oh you have to go to the depot where your parcel is actually at

That can either be fun or not

[mortal garnet]

I might as well try going to the depot as post Christmas workout..

[ornate moon]

I would check what days they are open

[proven blaze]

I belive if you just wait for the post to come and you pay it online they will deliver it but with new year and christmas it will proably be into january

[mortal garnet]

That's the fun part

[ornate moon]

I'll see what depot it ends up in after it clears customs and decided whether I'm bothered to drive or not

[mortal garnet]

my address don't see many successful mail deliveries

[proven blaze]

it will be the closets depo to you.

They are closed Christmas day, Boxing Day and New Years day. With shorter times on new years eve.

[ornate moon]

I live in between like three lol

[proven blaze]

When its delivered to a Location it should say the name of it for example the above screenshot says "london north west"

I believe you can also phone and ask for clarification on what location its at

[thin vale]

Today in answering questions nobody asked: the tech sack is large enough to fit a Type 2 phaser in it

[modest shoal]

I think transporting weapons voids the warranty 😜

[quartz comet]

My carabiner got stuck beneath a car's seat and now it's ruined :'(

[foggy sonnet]

I’d reach out to support and see if they can do anything, maybe they’ll offer you to purchase a replacement set + the tool to swap them

[quartz comet]

Thanks for letting me know

I have no idea how in the world it got caught

For anyone wondering, it's a Ford SUV with black seats (I know that's not very specific information but I don't know the car model)

[foggy sonnet]

No guarantees of course, but they’re very likely to help you if they’re able

[quartz comet]

Right before Christmas too

[low maple]

if it can fit that, it can probnably fit my precision bitset

[thin vale]

Well at the time it also had a set of Pixel Buds Pro 2, a Flipper Zero, two Scribedrivers, a pair of handcuffs, handcuff key and a Kindle Paperwhite so yeah I would think so. In a recent video Linus showed he had a number of full size screwdrivers in his. I intend to keep the precision set in there too

[low maple]

Yeaaa it seems like it would fit but ig I'll find out when it arrives

[oblique osprey]

Santa wife did good!

[nova quail]

does the tech sack external bag has a cable pass through?

[thin vale]

The sack is completely enclosed when the compartments are shut; no gaps to poke a cable through to the outside unless the zip's open (and they aren't carabiners so you can't clip them to only stay open a little like you can with the backpack)

I wonder why they didn't use carabiners for at least the main opening; I don't recall if it was right in the midst of trying to fix the original backpack carabiners so they just went with the regular design, or it was deemed unnecessary or what

[nova quail]

i mean if it has a hole between the internal and external bag, like the peak design one

[thin vale]

I suppose if you had an extra carabiner replacement kit you could use it to add carabiners to the tech sack but that is not an endorsement

[thin vale]

If I stick my hand into one of the pockets I can get my finger under the side flaps and outside of the pocket, which is still in the sack but you could get a cable through it

I can take pictures if I'm not explaining it well

Unless you mean the external pocket on the sack itself which is totally separate from the main pocket

[nova quail]

i think i understand you bro, using the deepl translation, thanks, clears my doubts

[thin vale]

Were you thinking of a specific use case like charging something outside it?

[nova quail]

like phone at the external pocket and power bank at main pocket

[thin vale]

Right, then you would need to have the zips open

[nova quail]

okay🥺

maybe i just need to poke through a hole myself

[thin vale]

You could but I wouldn't recommend it. Honestly if they had opted for carabiner pulls that would seem to work for what you wanted

What kind of situation would you be charging in?

If you're in one place you can just open the zips a little. If you are out and about and had the backpack the battery would slip in there and you could route the cable through that

[nova quail]

yeah your right, i'm just being too demanding while have no particular use case in mind, saw that in some product so want it for the ltt one as one

[thin vale]

I reckon there would be enough space to have the battery in the rear and route the cable to the front and charge your phone completely in the main section

[left thorn]

Anyone else’s precision driver constantly fall loose?

[lime fossil]

Wish they sold the carabiners stand alone

[smoky scarab]

Anyone know what time the commuter is dropping tomorrow?

I’m so excited to buy one and Linus said he’s doing something he’s never done for a product launch before so I’m really curious what that means

[lime fossil]

Did you subscribe to the notification?

[smoky scarab]

I did

[lime fossil]

Then just watch your email

[rocky wolf]

Im assuming 6pm GMT

[lethal storm]

I'm good, thanks

[onyx drum]

Wan show

[devout elbow]

Had an awesome round of GPU Crash, the kids were SUPER excited to get a Jenga set that actually worked right lol

[buoyant crag]

Has anyone seen an estimated time for the commuter backpack tomorrow?

[paper mirage]

Nope.. it'll be announced when its announced.. beyond "workday Pacific Time" would be as close as probably you can get, since LMG rarely is consistent on when stuff goes live, at least between different sales..

[foggy sonnet]

Yes, I find the I have to push it down like towards the shaft to get it to actually stay

[viscid shell]

[rocky wolf]

18 hours to go!

Maybe

[thin drift]

how do you figure?

[rocky wolf]

Bfcm started at then but i did notice the precision driver first released at around 4pm gmt if i aint wrong so its within those couple hours, 4pm - 6pm

Gmt

[thin drift]

that would be great!

I want to grab one asap

[rocky wolf]

Me too

Really curious to see what the “thing they’ve never done before” is

[thin drift]

yeah that’s what has got me hooked too

My europoor wallet hopes for free shipping but I will manage without just fine

[candid brook]

Nope

[modest shoal]

They’ve done free shipping to Europe before, just on accident 😂

[modest shoal]

Really has me curious.

[wooden jungle]

you know what

some guy near me is selling a LTT Packback that he's had for nearly 2 years for $50.

Thats a steal to me.

[reef tusk]

Tbh I got my camera bag for $50 just needed the outer bit washed. It’s worth hundreds new. Might be a deal for you depending on why they are selling it that cheap

[bold ledge]

I read this without context...

[peak halo]

I’m a little nervous for today’s launch, but I’ve added money to my no-foreign-transaction-fees card and signed into lttstore on my phone so fingers crossed I don’t miss out

[ornate moon]

Still at the mercy of exchange rates

[rocky wolf]

Which card do you use? Iv found chase offers the best exchange rates compared to monzo, starling and revolut

But the difference is only 10p so isn’t a big deal

[peak halo]

I use Revolut, I know that Chase operates in the UK but I haven’t been bothered to compare their exchange rates

[drowsy hawk]

Woah I just experienced non Canadian healthcare

It cost me $650 NTD & I didn’t have to wait a few days for an appointment

Comes with prescriptions

[thin drift]

happy little accidents

[astral vortex]

So, seeing the commuter completely removed from the store,.. is the ‘surprise’ that this launch will have its own site? Keep traffic down?

[sturdy plover]

It's still there - so not sure what you mean

[astral vortex]

Isn’t for me

[smoky scarab]

It’s on there for me just under one of the headers when you first go to the site

Like the scrolling thing that is showcasing the rain cover rn

[paper mirage]

https://www.lttstore.com/pages/commuter-signup

[sturdy plover]

It might not be on mobile browser, but it's still there if you check from a pc

[paper mirage]

Its in the carousel, at least on the desktop version of the site.

[astral vortex]

I followed the link above, and now it’s appearing in the home carousel.
Maybe a cookie error

[subtle plinth]

I think it’s because it’s not a product you can buy yet like the ltt modmat where you can only sign up for it

[rocky wolf]

It was never in this section to begin with, only appearance is the banner on the homepage same as modmat

[rocky wolf]

OOOO

https://www.lttstore.com/products/commuter-backpack?_pos=1&_fid=8a038f1ed&_ss=c

[rocky wolf]

20% off is a really nice incentive

[modest dove]

german customs will for sure

already looking forward to it

[little hemlock]

How do we get the discount?

[unkempt seal]

[reef tusk]

Oooo discount, I like, makes the nzd to usd conversion not so sore

[thin drift]

Yeah, Zoll did me dirty on the bigger backpack. Got my refund from LTT but the audacity aswell as those hyper complex forms

[reef tusk]

Any extra steps with YouTube shop, do you have to sign up etc

[rocky wolf]

Will it be that you have to purchase from YouTube cause rn clicking the products on YouTube app/website just redirects to lttstore.com

[tardy salmon]

Wow gone

[unkempt seal]

not sure. there is a link on the product page but not live yet

[modest dove]

yeah, they are just testing it atm

[paper mirage]

Not gone, hasnt gone live yet.

[tardy salmon]

Saw the discount and before I could check out... Gone

[thin drift]

I think not live at all yet

[subtle plinth]

[lapis harbor]

And I don't see a link to purchase via Youtube Shopping or whatever

[slender atlas]

Check under the YouTube store of ShortCircuit

[pine bay]

[reef tusk]

same it wants me to watch the video

so hopefully i got time before it is sold out

[lapis harbor]

Ordered!

[tall birch]

Nabbed mine

[rocky wolf]

Got mine!

[paper mirage]

Got it

[subtle plinth]

i got it

[thin drift]

So that discount was essentially free shipping for me, that's very nice.

[subtle plinth]

LETS GOOOO

[lapis harbor]

Used the discount to get my wife a Scribe Driver

[paper mirage]

That 20% off make the math work for me

Shame Backpacks aren't part of the GST Holiday

[reef tusk]

that discount helps heaps with the conversion rate

[rocky wolf]

£139.49 it worked out for me

[pine bay]

first size of the content cosmos t-shirt is gone

[rocky wolf]

Not bad at all

[warped sparrow]

ordered! bundled with content cosmos shirt

[reef tusk]

ordered! got stickers, that $30 discount really helped, paid for shipping

[paper mirage]

lol I forgot to get a bonus bin item.. hope there was only stickers

[reef tusk]

cost me 296.35 NZD

[reef tusk]

only stickers

[rocky wolf]

Yep just 2022 and 2023 to choose from

[sturdy plover]

How does youtube shopping work? can't find anything

[warped sparrow]

i only saw stickers, 2022 and 2023

[paper mirage]

Good I have enough of those..

At least enough I'm not gonna bother sending a ticket over it

[peak halo]

Whooooooooo and done

[scarlet sky]

worth it

[subtle plinth]

im so happy

[pine bay]

go to it from the video, then once you add it to your cart it should apply the discount. If not, make sure to disable any adblockers and try again

[paper mirage]

OH my missing pen, has returned to me.. so I no longer need to buy another one..

[molten prawn]

backpack backpack backpack

[lime valley]

hmmm I just got my replacement LTT Backpack. I like teh commuter but considering changing it up to the Nomatic traveller. Costco has it down from 250 to 150 so I'm flip floppinbg between that and teh commuter

[peak halo]

lol Linus said in the video the $30 discount brings the price down to $119.99, but I was charged $120. I want my one cent back

[barren silo]

Linus said in the video that it would be $119.99, but it was actually $120.00. How dare he mis-state the price by 1 cent... 😡 😜 \s

[scarlet sky]

watch one vid with adblock instead

[paper mirage]

According to the video they (someone at least) wants to double the OG backpack launch sales.. so clearly you need to go get the Commuter :p

[barren silo]

always watch with ad block and just buy stuff off store to pay for it. 🙂

[molten prawn]

Didn't they sell like 20k in the first couple days for that?

(Idr, I was wave 1 :P)

[split briar]

LTTstore take a penny leave a penny coming soon tm

[paper mirage]

Also, 19k means they sell out of discount codes day one..

Wonder what the actual number of codes are

[pine bay]

theyve sold 1k of them already

[paper mirage]

Gotta have a count of codes remaining.. gotta get that FOMO in action!

[reef tusk]

i just can't wait to get a decent bag, i'll give my current away

[scarlet sky]

i use both bags, but for many things a slightly smaller is nice

[peak halo]

For once the notification email beat my order email by five minutes while I was still furiously refreshing the ShortCircuit video

[reef tusk]

i have a nice small camelbak, but it doesn't have a space for a laptop

[pine bay]

yeah their notification emails have been pretty timly recently

[paper mirage]

Also I see their initial order of the Commuter Backpacks on the box at the start of the video.. 30k..

[peak halo]

Okay time to watch the SC video properly this time

Glad they put the wave 1 estimated ship date on there, helped me know where to send it

[lime valley]

theyve already sold 1000

[paper mirage]

I wonder if Honey has any codes for this 🙂

[pine bay]

bruh lol

[unkempt seal]

solid price, even after shipping and taxes to Europe

[reef tusk]

cool they showed me the NZD pricing... wait

[scarlet sky]

shipping just takes at least 2-4 weeks

[reef tusk]

no wonder i haven't ordered certain things

[unkempt seal]

true hehe

[peak halo]

Isn’t there a superstition about opening an umbrella indoors leading to bad luck, or is Linus not overly superstitious?

[paper mirage]

Oh interesting, that looks like theres 20% off for more stuff if you go through the youtube link..

[rocky wolf]

Didn’t work when i tried

[paper mirage]

Shame.. not that I wanted more anyway..

[ornate moon]

Damn I just realised the last two orders I made with PayPal I used their exchange rate and paid like an extra £30 :(

[pine bay]

https://www.youtube.com/@ShortCircuit/store

[scarlet sky]

i rather pay fees at my bank than paypal exchange rates, would still be cheaper

[modest shoal]

Link isn’t working

[pine bay]

which link? for the discount?

[rocky wolf]

Open a revolut/chase/monzo account and get no fees on exchange rates

[pine bay]

try disabling any adblockers and try again

[modest shoal]

Yes

Just takes me to a generic YouTube page

[rocky wolf]

I think you have to click on the actual video

[scarlet sky]

that only helps if he remembers to change paypal to usd instead of conversion 😄

[paper mirage]

Open the video, open the youtube store, click on the backpack from youtube store, add to cart..

[ornate moon]

My credit card doesn't charge for transactions in foreign currencies which is the big kicker

[rocky wolf]

Or don’t use paypal at all

[ornate moon]

I do have Monzo but I prefer my credit card

[scarlet sky]

mine also, but my debit card charges and i had that selected one time, still cheaper

[rocky wolf]

Listen to this guy

[ornate moon]

I'm the person who doesn't like typing in card details into websites

[scarlet sky]

i don't like to enter my credit card details on "random" websites and for that paypal is a nice gateway for that

[rocky wolf]

Shopify

[paper mirage]

You guys are making me regret using paypal.. but alas I like mostly one-click and keeps my info in fewer spaces.. that said I don't LIKE paypal, I just like having as few sources for leaks as possible, and for all of Paypals faults coughHoneycoughpiecough they seem to be secure enough..

[modest shoal]

Ain’t working

[paper mirage]

Adblock off?

Though it works for me with ubo still on..

[ornate moon]

Anyhow this is the most expensive backpack I have ever bought, hope it's worth it

[scarlet sky]

if there are false payments on my credit card i can't cancel it easily, I have to go to the police for a report, send that to my bank, the bank would instantly block my card and some days later i would get a new one, after i got the card i have to register for online payment, for that they send me 2 letters, so it would take 2-3 weeks before i can use my card again in case of fraud

[peak halo]

I dislike how Linus is teasing the blue cargo pants in the video

[scarlet sky]

so i stay with paypal and try to remember to select the right currency 😄

[reef tusk]

if the other LTT stuff i have is anything to go by it will be.
It is for me too.

[modest shoal]

It’s working now, it was taking forever to load

Hug of death I guess

[ornate moon]

I would've also got a super soft hoodie but they are still out of stock

[reef tusk]

will be interesting to see if they beat the OG backpack day one

first time i have been on a day one order

everything else was a couple of waves

[scarlet sky]

i wanted to buy a third water bottle but they are out of stock, now i have to wait for my next bigger order

[ornate moon]

Yeah, I've spent way too much on LTT (black Friday deals were great this year) so I probably won't be ordering anything again till this time next year

[rocky wolf]

Same iv spent way too much

[paper mirage]

Oh wow main channel video drop today too.. always nice when it shows up in my feed before here heh

[scarlet sky]

i didn't spend anything on black friday, waited for the precision to be in stock

[smoky scarab]

Man I wanna buy a backpack so bad but idk if I wanna spend $120 especially since I gotta pay my phone bill and order my chewy order on the first

[reef tusk]

i don't want to think in NZD how much i spent on what i brought this year lol

[stuck torrent]

I'm armed with christmas money now, but soft hoodie+long sleeve polo in my size are both out of stock so I'll probably just IOU myself a late lttstore gift a few months down the line.

[scarlet sky]

don't but it if you can't afford it. yes it's probably going to be a nice bag, but don't build up debt is even nicer

[smoky scarab]

I can afford it just not sure if I should spend the money on it

Is there a hidden AirTag holder on this one?

[ornate moon]

Yes

[peak halo]

Yes, near the top of the inside of the bag of holding

[paper mirage]

Yep he shows it off in the video

[smoky scarab]

Ok guess I just didn’t watch far enough yet

[paper mirage]

Its towards the end

[peak halo]

I don’t think I’ll buy another AirTag for the Commuter, I’ll just use the one that’s in my OG Backpack

[scarlet sky]

i can't wait for a more robust google find my rollout

[pine bay]

theyve sold ~2k now

[ornate moon]

Damn

[peak halo]

Linus says if they sell 19k on day one they’ll run out of discount codes, which suggests fewer than 19k code uses available

[patent pebble]

I ordered the bag, i had to.

I’m going to swap my beeg bag out for it, then replace my shitty adidas bag for Magic the gathering with the beeg bag.

[peak halo]

Darnit now I want a “beeg bag” patch for my OG

[scarlet sky]

how does attaching a patch impact the water resistance?

[peak halo]

I guess it doesn’t if you use some kind of glue-backed Velcro

[patent pebble]

Any kind of glue should be fine, sewing would mess with it.

[smoky scarab]

Decided to bite the bullet and do it

[scarlet sky]

ok glue could work, but that would leave residue if the patch got torn off

[reef tusk]

hey you stole my order XD

[nova quail]

these all have 20 off?

[pine bay]

thats what they say

[smoky scarab]

My b

[patent pebble]

While true, just cover with more patches.

[reef tusk]

we just ordered the exact same thing lol

[smoky scarab]

Yeah I knew what you meant lol

[patent pebble]

No FP shirts???? Yall crazy

[nova quail]

damn they still don't restock the bottle

[smoky scarab]

It really sucks they got rid of all the colored bottles and lanyards

Or most of them at least

[scarlet sky]

also a shame that they don't have the cpu pillows anymore

[nova quail]

and they dont even post any pinned messages for merch, no one

[patent pebble]

Yall should have bought more when they were around.

They feel so nice.

[scarlet sky]

I have the small one, but after getting that the bigger was already out of stock so i couldn't order it

[patent pebble]

[ornate moon]

I know, the year I actually have a decent job and all the good colours are gone :(

Really wanted a blue lanyard

[pastel vortex]

Looking to buy the commuter bag or the laptop bag, but I need to check if my laptop even fits in the thing...
https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/Legion/Lenovo_Legion_5_Pro_16ACH6H/Lenovo_Legion_5_Pro_16ACH6H_Spec.pdf

Anyone with knowledge able to help me out?

[patent pebble]

16 legion kinda thicc

[pastel vortex]

I think I'm borderline.

[patent pebble]

Tell you what- if it doesn’t fit, i’ll buy the laptop off you.

[ornate moon]

Might be a squeeze

[pastel vortex]

I've had the bags in my cart a few times but don't want to order if its gonna fail

[patent pebble]

Ltt store support is great with any kind of returns if there is an issue.

[pastel vortex]

I have a northface backpack that works just fine, im just a bit bored with it

[peak halo]

You know how lttstore has a desk configurator for their desk pads, they have enough data on different laptops and tablets that they could have a “will this laptop fit inside which pocket(s) of the backpack” tool

[pine bay]

^ for the commuter

[pastel vortex]

356 x 260.4-264.4 x 21.7-26.85 mm (14.02 x 10.25-10.41 x 0.85-1.07 inches)

those are mine, pasting to compare

looks like im just out of spec

[ornate moon]

Yeah definitely a squeeze

[scarlet sky]

it's too thick

[pastel vortex]

cool - i appreciate the quick answers, thanks!

i dont know if i can handle the refigerator box look of the OG

[nova quail]

samn bro

[pine bay]

my backpack arrived last week. I was considering waiting for the commuter, but the bigger backpack seems to have the space I would want, so im a little glad I didn't

[ornate moon]

For me the regular backpack is too big and too expensive (for me)

[peak halo]

Keeping my OG for car/train journeys and less fickle airlines, Commuter for everything else

[pine bay]

they just passed an hour since launch, and theyve sold around 3k already

[scarlet sky]

also my plan, for everyday use the commuter is nice, but for travel the og stays

[peak halo]

I still haven’t opened the notification email so I wonder how little it’ll affect their open/convert stats

[scarlet sky]

i didn't even get the mail

only got a notification once for black friday, but nothing before and after

[pine bay]

did you sign up for the commuter notification specifically?

[scarlet sky]

yes

[pine bay]

weird

[scarlet sky]

at least i get the order confirmation mail

[peak halo]

Email reached me just over an hour ago

[pastel vortex]

Hence my hurried question lol

[pine bay]

i wonder how big wave 1 is

[peak halo]

Box said X of 30,000

[paper mirage]

^

[scarlet sky]

nice, the commuter also has a attached luggage passthrough ... so i need to travel with both bags on a plane

[pine bay]

yeah but are the splitting that into multiple waves?

also the store only got 29.5k (i guess theyre keeping some for RMA?)

[paper mirage]

My assumption is thats all one wave..

RMA, sold to staff, QA, etc

[scarlet sky]

rma and probably ads on other channels

[slender atlas]

nah, they've all been stolen by the staff to be found in the AMD upgrades

[peak halo]

Oh true, initial OG order was also 30k but it came in waves of 10k because of physical warehouse capacity. Smaller box = fewer waves?

[paper mirage]

I mean Linus wants almost 20k to sell day one :p

[pine bay]

at this rate theyll hit that. sold 3k in the first hour

[pastel vortex]

Have you had issues with the OG on airlines? That's what I wanted to get a new bag for. I fly frequently for work

[paper mirage]

So one should hope they are more than 10k waves

I think 30k is how many they got sent wave one.. thats just the way I read it on the box.

[pastel vortex]

But lately I have the Lenovo, a surface pro and a portable monitor so the commuter was a pipe dream I think

[paper mirage]

But I'm sure someone will ask tomorrow.. or not cause veryone already purchased today and there will be no merch messages tomorrow :p

[nova quail]

got the commuter, saw that Estimated ship date, wonder what could take 20days to send it out bro

[ornate moon]

Damn what do you work as

[pine bay]

i guess we'll find out tomorrow (maybe saturday at the latest) when the first 29.5k run out (if they keep selling at this rate, which there is a decent change theyll slow down a lot)

[peak halo]

It’s about three inches or 10cm too thick to fit in most short haul airlines’ cabin baggage sizers at check-in and gates (I’m in the UK), I’ve only ever taken the OG on Lufthansa and Brussels when I deliberately avoided flying easyJet to Germany

The Commuter loses that extra 10cm so will be my carry-on of choice

[pastel vortex]

I teach computer forensics periodically... big laptop for the big software, surface for the binary/hex/decimal/filesystem instruction... writing is way better than powerpoint

[ornate moon]

Damn

[pastel vortex]

and second monitor because I don't hate myself. I wonder if I can use the surface as a second monitor and save some space... brb googling

[rocky wolf]

Macbook pro 16 inch is part of that “some”, i know some people were asking before

[pastel vortex]

apparently it's a thing. I just saved a little bit of room.

[scarlet sky]

how heavy is the software that you need such a thick device? I got a thin intel ultra 7 laptop and it can even play modern games (in most cases, the rtx 4060 mobile slows it down a bit)

[pastel vortex]

In 2021 I bought to "futureproof" as best I could. 4tb storage, 64gb ram, it's a great workhorse. I would go intel next time for software support

In general I would say it's probably more than I "need", but I'm usually instructing to classes with newer dell precision machines and keeping up with them during processing is the biggest concern.

I don't want to be the bottleneck

[scarlet sky]

ahh ok, that explains it, and remoting into a god machine wouln't be an option, right?

[paper shuttle]

Anyone getting this page

for the backpack link

[bold ledge]

Christmas, boxing day, new years and Canada Post strike

[modest shoal]

So stoked for this bag. I can finally retire my disintegrating Swiss Gear bag I’ve used for like 12 years

And it’ll get in just in time for my first big work trip of the year

[reef tusk]

try clearing the cache and try again

[opal kindle]

I've been getting tired of using my old handled laptop bag and carrying the water bottle, etc. been waiting for this for months as a splurge for myself

[nova quail]

got it. new year

[wooden jungle]

Bout an hour.

[pastel vortex]

right - I've had to run some class internet off of a phone hotspot before

[wooden jungle]

QUESTION IS

LTT Packback used for $50

or LTT Commuter for $120 new? 🤔

[tall birch]

I mean a $250 backpack for $50 is a good deal

[wooden jungle]

agreed

2 years used. Gonna see if theirs any damage and maybe run out to grab it

it's an hour away

so 2 hour drive total 🤷

[scarlet sky]

so it's $50 + costs of gas + costs of car usage + your time

[wooden jungle]

in reality yes.

My time aint worth that much during the holidays albeit

[rare ibex]

Don't think of it that way.

Think of it as an adventure.

[wooden jungle]

No loss of income for me.

[wooden jungle]

This is also true! Just moved to this state so I'd explore a bit

[rare ibex]

Pro tip, make sure it's not in a rough area lol

[wooden jungle]

very true not a bad area tho so im chilling

[rare ibex]

You'll enjoy the pack. It's well made, though big.

[reef tusk]

I would honestly go for it

I spent a hour and a half one way to get a $70 tripod

(The tripod is worth hundreds)

[scarlet sky]

i would go for it but would do a sniff test before i buy it. could be from a smoker and in that case even free would be too expensive

[rare ibex]

My mind when the other way at first.

[lime fossil]

"Big"

Its only big relative to like a purse or day bag

[wooden jungle]

luckily im a big enough fellow

I dont need it to travel with my northface is just kinda shitting the bed on the pockets for drinks

[rare ibex]

My gripe is the LTT backpack is huge when empty.

[lime fossil]

My gripe is it's so rigid that the 2 main compartments can't "combine" like most other backs

Which makes it effectively a lot smaller

[rare ibex]

That's also a negative unfortunately.

I got mine effectively for free.

[lime fossil]

And I've not quite figured out the pocket intended to be for chargers or something

[rare ibex]

Water bottle holder is inside the backpack.

[lime fossil]

As its not big enough to really hold a brick and a cable

[scarlet sky]

which pocket?

there are "some"

[wooden jungle]

well

heres my gripe

my northface has holes

I was gonna patch them

BUT.

If I dont have too

for $50 it's worth having a new bag

[lime fossil]

Who?

[rare ibex]

Yep, @ $50 it's a steal.

At $250 retail + tax/ship, I'd give it second thoughts.

[scarlet sky]

you figured out the pocket there isn't a single pocket, so you should say which one you mean in that case

but a pocket can be for anything that can fit

[lime fossil]

The side pocket? The entire area is too small

Have yet to find a good combination of power stuffs to put in it

[azure stratus]

Just ordered mine. It’ll replace my smaller bag I use on quick trips (it’s an Under Armour Storm my company gave out last year). Already have the full size that I use daily and for longer trips. Can’t wait!

[lime fossil]

Yes there's multiple flaps inside the entire pouch but it's all too small in total

[scarlet sky]

ahh ok. In my case i use it with a powerbank

got the anker 553 that fits

[lime fossil]

And no cable?

[peak halo]

I already had a 22500mAh Ravpower bank that juuuuust fits the side pocket on the OG

[scarlet sky]

powerbank is in the other room, that thing is a bit bigger

and a 5m 120w usb-c to c cable

[lime fossil]

Interesting I found it just a smidge too crowded to be convenient

Similarly the sunglasses pouch doesn't fit sunglasses for me

So I moved the power cables to it

[scarlet sky]

Sunglasses pouch would fit, but i keep them in their box and use the pouch for stuff i want to access easily and fast, like a pen and wipes for my glasses

[sage pier]

My sis is already going to contact support, but anyone else purchase a gift card in the last few days, and not get it yet?
My sister bought me a $50 gift card on the 24th, but as far as she understands, she hasn't received the email with the code yet. Only the order confirmation.

Gonna use it to get a Commuter backpack w/ the 20% discount if stock holds up. Else I'll just hang onto it if they run out of stock.

I mostly just wanna see if anyone else is having the problem, or if maybe she didn't input something right.

[reef tusk]

Are you able to order it now then send a ticket with the invoice with your sisters order and get the value of the card refunded back? Just thinking it’s Christmas Eve and it may not be a auto thing

[reef tusk]

wait is her card charged?

for example, just under $300 is gone from my account for the bag this morning (please note i am in NZ so the us dollar sucks for me atm)

[sage pier]

She paid through ApplePay. I did mention the screenshot she sent me had her icloud email (and the screenshot was of her gmail account, so IDK which exactly she's getting the code email through.)
I believe she's checked both emails. (At least, I mentioned to her that it may have gone to the second one)

[sage pier]

I'd rather just hope she's able to get/find the code before they run out of stock, or just wait and hope it goes on sale next Black Friday. (Or put into a bundle)

[reef tusk]

i would contact support asap because its a hefty discount

[paper shuttle]

Just ordered the Commuter backpack, black screwdriver and precision case + driver

https://tenor.com/view/money-wallet-broke-gif-7855913

was waiting for the precision bit set case to come back in stock and it came together with the commuter backpack

it was a sign

[sage pier]

x3

[reef tusk]

i know the feeling

nz dollar isn't great atm lol

[paper shuttle]

im in eu so import bs will still be a surprise

hopefully not too bad

[reef tusk]

the discount almost gave me free shipping and taxes.

[peak halo]

Even with the discount taxes+shipping puts me over the £135 threshold so hellooooooo import duty (maybe)

[reef tusk]

$46.74 for shipping and taxes

[scarlet sky]

You don't have pre payment?

Normally with llt store I pay what's listed in the store and nothing more. I don't have to pay dhl 6€ for handling my package

[reef tusk]

SP LTT STORE+16042507363 $302.33

so yeah this bag better be worth it.

it would have been around $400 if i got the tech sac

[scarlet sky]

I have to pay $25 shipping and $39.90 taxes on a $184.98 order

[modest shoal]

Anyone have insight why they did the commuter bag discount with YouTube Shopping? I don't know anything about YouTube Shopping so I was kind of surprised when they issued such a nice discount on day one of the bag's release.

[scarlet sky]

Probably it's something youtube offered to promote yt shopping

[peak halo]

Paid partnership with YouTube Shopping, LTT was one of the pilot channels for shopping integrations so YouTube effectively funds the discount

[reef tusk]

def a way for youtube to build that part of the platform

they have done things like this before, didn't they do a promo with the bag or something?

the big bag

[modest shoal]

Makes sense

[scarlet sky]

Yea there were promos before

you put a pair of headphones, a pencil case and a actual laptop power cable in there, you can't put in anything else

[paper shuttle]

it listed taxes but usually you get import duties

and some import fee

but we'll see

[peak halo]

Yeah, I think the first promo they did was 20% off the OG Backpack, that’s when Linus said YouTube pays them the difference

[paper mirage]

He did one around spring-summer this year..

I forget what it was for though, and it didn't interest me..

[reef tusk]

yeah something like that, was discussed on WAN at the time.

[patent pebble]

I love my tech sac

I have 2

[reef tusk]

I will get one eventally

prob next year black friday

[patent pebble]

I use one for d&d

And the other for work

But i’m gonna split those off soon enough.

Just have 2 for work

[lyric abyss]

more discounts just dropped was able to cop one

idk if they ran out earlier or it just wasn't working for me but i jumped at when i saw the hidden gaming room video and it popped up

[rocky wolf]

Average of 956.73 sold per hour recently. 21,942 in stock of the commuter

Will be interesting to see if they sell out by wan tomorrow

[indigo nest]

Is YouTube Shopping not available in Canada? o_O

I'm a YT Premium sub with no adblocker enabled

all I see

ah there we go

it auto adds at cart

Where is my penny Linus?

[indigo nest]

Oh no it's Superman 3 all over again

[pine bay]

they might sell out during wan

sales are definitely slowing down a bit, but they always pick up when wan is going on

[indigo nest]

this still might be too much backpack for me...

I don't want to be the ass that returns this

[charred coyote]

No YouTube shopping in Korea it seems...

[reef tusk]

code should work worldwide, if not contact support

[charred coyote]

Man even with the discount, the exchange rate has gotten bad.. not sure I can swing ₩213,000 before the new year.

[reef tusk]

$1.77 per dollar i paid (USD to NZD)

so i walked out with it costing me $303.

[naive night]

I'd say it's a small upgrade from my previous mousepad :D

[charred coyote]

Yeah I will still get it but before I need to refill after spending a bunch during Christmas.

[reef tusk]

Same boat

savings looking bare

[charred coyote]

I don't think it's a bad deal. Just need to wait 5 days

Might be gone by then though

[reef tusk]

its not at all, i was happy with full price

oh you might end up in the second or third waves

[charred coyote]

Yeah will lose the $30 off though perhaps

How long will the discount code run?

[reef tusk]

yeah that was part of why i just went for it

till all codes are used

[charred coyote]

I have the bigger backup and I love it for weekend trips but man is it too big for the subway

[sterile hollow]

I'm actually kinda surprised the backpack didnt sell out already.

[charred coyote]

I think they ordered 20K or more

At the end of the video they are making guesses of how many will sell

[sterile hollow]

ah... I assumed there were only gonna be a few hundred on the first wave so I ordered mine within a minute of it dropping lol

[charred coyote]

Haha sick

Man I hope shipping is better this time, last time I ordered 2 hoddies and a mousepad and it took 25 days to arrive.

[paper mirage]

I think first wave is 30k, as thats how many it says on the box when he unboxes (#### or 30000)

And I don't see them numbering boxes like that if they are gonna send them in batches.. but I could be wrong

[charred coyote]

I agree with that. That seems like a reasonable number when I hear them talking about scale on WAN show.

[paper mirage]

They sold what 50k so far of the OG backpack, and this is basically half off for most of the features (and for some like me, features that the OG one not having made it a dealbreaker)

[naive night]

Does anyone here have the LTT lanyard? If so, how does it take abuse? I'm a mechanic so my stuff goes thru absolute hell, and I've had a couple lanyards split on me at the point where metal meets fabric

I've got ~200 keys so I have a TON of lanyards

[molten prawn]

I have two, they’re pretty strong, but I’m not a mechanic. Definitely beat them for a few years though.

[naive night]

Would love to just replace them all with something that's good and just have a good working thing going

[naive night]

Yeah I mean, mechanics aren't that special. Just how did they hold up to dirt, and general crappy conditions?

They get banged around in my oily ass pockets, dropped, hit by things, etc

[molten prawn]

They’re gonna get dirty. The metal on mine has lost like half it’s paint, but no issues in operation. Still spins freely and the clasp is strong. The lanyard itself is definitely rugged, mine haven’t even frayed.

[lime fossil]

YouTube mobile app had me excited for a moment

[naive night]

Oh yeah, I don't care about dirty (everything I own is dirty lol). Good to hear they hold up well. I break the clasps a lot, and often tear the fabric. Think I'll grab one to daily drive and if it holds up I'll order a dozen or so. Thanks!!

[lime fossil]

Its showing 20% off of merch it lists. Which would've brought the techsack to $48 which is tempting enough to just grab it

Am I missing something?

[molten prawn]

20% off a few items through YouTube shopping while supplies last. They did a promo for the commuter bag launch and it has a few other products with it. Just click the link via YouTube shopping and the coupon code is automatically applied.

[lime fossil]

Doesn't seem to be working on the techsack

Although it advertised it to me

[molten prawn]

It might’ve expired. It went live like 6 hours ago, and on WAN last week when they alluded to it said it would be super limited. I’m not sure though.

[indigo nest]

oh the backpack doesn't come with the tech sack?

[molten prawn]

If it has expired and still advertised it to you that’s a good example of why YouTube would be paying people to advertise YouTube shopping given it’s annoying XD

[indigo nest]

the video kinda implied it did

[molten prawn]

Not to my knowledge, but I’d have to rewatch the video.

It doesn’t mention it on the product page, and being a 60$ product on its own I honestly doubt it.

[pine bay]

i dont really think it implied that, but i see where youre coming from

[reef tusk]

i never thought the tech sac would come with the bag

[lime fossil]

If it included a techsack that would be crazy deal

[reef tusk]

i thought it was made to accomodate it

[lime fossil]

My main question is how do the framework laptops fit in it

[pine bay]

just now saw this banner - looks nice

[molten prawn]

It can fit “some” 16 inch laptops. Not sure if they mention the framework specifically, I didn’t watch the launch video carefully.

[sinful night]

they didn’t mention the framework 16 but judging from the fact that he said most 15 inch laptops and the macbook pro 16 inch was one example he mentioned, I don’t think the framework 16 can fit

I definitely would’ve bought it if the framework could fit

I wouldn’t be surprised if it could fit in the laptop area but not the pocket, though

[pine bay]

looks like the 16in framework would not fit

[reef tusk]

tbh with that graphics module it does leave alot of bags out

[paper mirage]

Didn't they get asked about the Framework 16 on a WANShow or two? I can't remember if it was a flat no, or a yes without the GPU no with the GPU?

[copper minnow]

i finally bit the bullet, and ordered LTT merch

[astral vortex]

Crap, now you’re locked in to the LTT echo system

[copper minnow]

Oh crap, I didn't think of that

[fervent moth]

i have had the the normal ltt backpack for about a year should i get the conuter backpack? \

[molten wind]

Do you use up all the space in your current ltt backpack?

[paper mirage]

Not unless you dislike the current one, or need a second for another reason.. I mean the Commuter isn't unreasonably expensive, but its not cheap either..

[fervent moth]

yea

thanks

i use it for school and it is just very bulkey

[paper mirage]

For me I passed on the OG bag cause a few design decisions didn't work for me..

Big one being it keeping the bottle inside.. having it on the outside, along with an umbrella spot is just what I need

[fervent moth]

yea thanx

[paper mirage]

Also the og one was just too expensive for my needs..

[reef tusk]

the OG is way too expensive and overkill for what i needed. The commuter is the exact thing i need. Hence why i grabbed it

i have enough big bags

[modest shoal]

I have a feeling the commuter bag is going to sell like hotcakes for these reasons

Excited to hear WAN.dll talk about initial sales

[reef tusk]

tbh its well priced too

[modest shoal]

100% expected $175+ USD

[molten prawn]

I'm kinda surprised they managed to get it down to 150 given the original bag's price. Ik it's smaller, but you still have to make a whole bag.

Probably an R&D thing.

[reef tusk]

same i was sitting around that price. i feel like i kinda stole it off LMG XD

[molten prawn]

120 is wild too

[modest shoal]

The promo video today did mention cutting some corners from the OG bag, like dropping the carabiners

[paper mirage]

Which is fine by me, I don't care about Carabiners one way or ther other.. plus they have been a headache for lmg anyway lol

[reef tusk]

I'm fine with the cuts they made, i think it works in that bags favour

i like the zip ties they are cute

[molten prawn]

I actually didn't notice that - be funny if they sold an upgrade kit down the road given they got the zipper pull swap kit designed already XD

[modest shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/traffic-fbi-open-up-raid-gif-13450966

[paper mirage]

I think the big savings is how the bag is made.. OG is more structured, which probably is more expensive to make.

[molten prawn]

True, though this bag looks like it will sit just fine. And the OG has the lean issue.

[reef tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/run-running-running-away-gif-26050950

[reef tusk]

yeah OG needs the structure to be able to do what it needs to do, this one is lighter and more compact, which adds to its savings

[candid fern]

Wow they sold 8000 within 5 hours

That's pretty sick

How many have they sold now?

[molten prawn]

They're into wave 2, so I would assume at least 10k? I don't know for certain they're 10k each, but the box in the video says _/30000, so I assume 3 waves of 10k (like the 10k waves last time).

Regardless kinda wild for a premium product given their "small" reach.

[reef tusk]

mkay guys.
I want the bag with me right now, am i the only one lol

[reef tusk]

honestly when linus was discussing the mystery driver sales i was like wait what i don't even know that many people let alone i was among that many!

[molten prawn]

Wave 1

[reef tusk]

same

[modest shoal]

Yeah my first work trip of the year is several days before the orders ship 😭

But fortunately I’ll have it for my next big one in February

[reef tusk]

I can understand the delay

its christmas time

also canada has things going down with their postal service

[molten prawn]

I think the delay is just managing literal thousands of orders

[reef tusk]

that too

[molten prawn]

that of course all came at once

(smart to do it on a Thursday, poor Dan would die at that desk)

[lime valley]

I litterally havent used my LTT offsite Laptop sleeve/bag/skinsuit since my surface book screen cracked under the pressure in it. I wonder if I could return/exchange for store credit and get the commuter.

[pine bay]

the wave changed

[molten prawn]

I'm officially faster than the robot

[pine bay]

ah nice 😄

yeah it doesnt check super often to not spam lttstore too much

[molten prawn]

I kid, thank you for your always reliable merch stalking 🙏

[pine bay]

could have been around 10k in the first wave

might have been a bit more than that though

[molten prawn]

I mean, it is just a sleeve, it's not gonna completely protect a laptop (description specifically calls out "minor bumps and drops"). Situation dependant, LTT support is top tier though so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lime valley]

Oh no, it litterally cracked the screen when I zippered it up.

[molten prawn]

wth

they'd probably want to know about that

[lime valley]

i've made my peace with it. I have accidental coverage on it, I just need to find a time I feel like dropping the 50$ for the repair.

But yeah suffice to say I haven't touched the offsite bag since week 1

[molten prawn]

Still, if the laptop you tried putting in was of dimensions that are advertised to fit, for QC purposes I'm sure they'd want to hear if the bag is damaging a laptop that should fit.

[reef tusk]

and it gives them a chance to make it right

[molten prawn]

that too

[lime valley]

technically I was an early adopter before they revised the product page after the backlash.

[molten prawn]

Was there an issue where it didn't fit the dimensions listed? I wasn't following it.

[lime valley]

It's just extremely tight and you can barely fit anything in the storage pouches and still close the bag.

My theory is that it was only ever tested with a super thin dell xps and macbooks.

[reef tusk]

I looked at it and looked like a sleeve thats it

my strix has a powerbrick

could have cracked the screen

[molten prawn]

Would be an easy oversight, but still disappointing given it's LTT.

[lime valley]

like the offsite is a super high quality product, but there's a reason they didnt launch it like they did the other 2 bags and why theyre likely never gonna restock it.

[vast peak]

have LTT ever done a new year sale? i want to get a backpack with my christmas money but am going away early feb and want to have it by then to take with me so want to order asap. i dont think they have in the past but just want to check

[lime fossil]

Context was that you had a non slim power brick in the pocket right?

[molten prawn]

They don't do a ton of sales. Lime day and Black Friday are pretty regular, but otherwise just your occasional promo like we have with the backpack launch (usually to clear dead stock).

[vast peak]

yeah, thats what i thought

annoyed i didnt just buy it at black friday. i already knew it was somewhat inevitable since my current bag is dying and despite the price the LTT backpack ticks every single box on my list

[molten prawn]

Are you talking about the OG? Would the newly launched (today) commuter bag serve your needs?

[lime valley]

Slim enough to be reasonable.

[lime fossil]

Non specifically marketed as slim isn't completely reasonable

[vast peak]

nah, will be used as a work bag with a bunch of tools in cases so want that big bit at the front

[lime fossil]

Would try it but be cautious of pressute

[molten prawn]

Fair enough

[lime valley]

Again, it's perfectly reasonable to expect a laptop bag to be able to fit a travel adapter comfortably.

[vast peak]

do i also want the commuter for when i dont want to take all my stuff? 100%. but i can not justify that in the slightest

[lime fossil]

I'd expect to the commuter to work better for tools. Snagged one to use as a camera bag

20% less capacity but all that capacity is combined in a much more useful way it seems

[lime valley]

I'm so tempted by the commuter, but CW just replaced my OG wave 1 backpack due to zipper coming off the track.

[molten prawn]

I think you'd have to use your best judgement when looking at it. If it doesn't look like it will fit, forcing it wouldn't be a good idea, issues with marketing aside.

[lime valley]

So I'm like...I don't NEED IT.....but Iwant it.

[molten prawn]

I definitely didn't need it 😂

[lime fossil]

Sidenote the coupon seems to work for multiple

So if you're feeling spendy...

[lime valley]

I forgot how much I missed my backpack standing on it's own and the zippers feeling crissssp

[lime fossil]

Wish they'd sell the zipper pulls as a standalone thing we could add to other bags

[vast peak]

fair, i think i want the raw capacity though. especially with mostly rectangular tool cases the "bag of holding" section as Linus calls it should work well

[lime fossil]

That's actually where I'm least happy with the old bag

Because of how they 2 pockets are divided the overall max capacity is cut down dramatically

Bag of holding is teeny tiny

[lime valley]

though I forgot just how ridgid the material for the front flap pockets was at first. I usualkly use the bottom right pouch in the front flap to house my wf1000xm5s and a secondary backup pair of whatever buds

[vast peak]

i think that got asked and they said they dont want to encurage people opening up the retention bit of the zippers on other things since they are not designed for it and they dont want to deal with people complaining that it broke other products

[lime fossil]

That's somewhat fair. Sell it to floatplane only

[vast peak]

really? hm

[lime fossil]

We are likely to be a bit more understanding and to actually hear that sort of disclaimer

[lime fossil]

Yes. That's why I'm more interested in this one. Looks like it'll hold more of what I actually want in my case

[lime valley]

I think where the commuter is going to really help is making people look less conspicuous. We have tiny elevators at work and when I leave with my team its like you gotta pray noone else tries ccoming in cuz that backpack counts as a person 😄

[vast peak]

i really wish i could get hands on with one before buying it. i hate not being able to actually inspect something before buying

[lime valley]

I can tell already that where the screwdriver rests is going to likely cause issues with whatever you have in that main zipper pouch at the top above it

[vast peak]

but i dont know anyone with one irl and flying to canada from aus to go to one of their popup things would probably cost more than just buying the backpack and tossing it if i dont like it

[molten prawn]

This is true, they were very clear to only do it once with the repair kits. Though I think with the commuter not having the carabiner pulls to save cost it'd be nice to see an upgrade kit with the same 'you can only change this once' disclaimer. Probably not worth for them though.

[lime fossil]

Exactly my thought

[vast peak]

one thing i dont like about the commuter is that it has all the small pockets (for pens and such) in the main compartment. i much prefer having the seprate front section for that stuff (did not mean for that to be a reply)

[molten prawn]

My only complaint about the OG is it remaining bulky when I have it fairly empty (not actually a complaint, just not always matching my use case). So having the same quality bag in a slimmer form is gonna be 👌

[vast peak]

oh yeah, like i said, would love to get both. but just cant swing it right now. maybe next christmas

[wise saddle]

I just got the og one and while a smaller one might be nice I don’t think I need it

At least not yet

In happy with this one

[sinful night]

I'm still debating getting the commuter as I have the og and it fits my framework 16 but it's rather big for what I need, a smaller backpack would be amazing but if I can't fit my laptop then as a student I'm just stranded

I know it can't fit in the dedicated laptop part but it seems like it'll just barely fit in the laptop compartment

[molten prawn]

I bet it would fit in the laptop compartment somewhere, even if it's a squeeze, given the size advertisement - thought it may not fit in the dedicated sleeve area (just the bigger part of the laptop pocket). But that might not appeal to you, it's kinda an inconvenient comprimise if you have a larger laptop and already have the OG.

also that's me speculating, they haven't officially claimed that

I'd be happy to test it when I get mine though 😂

[sinful night]

yeah I feel like it would fit, looking at the dimensions, the width of the tech compartment is 0.5in smaller than the laptop which can definitely be squeezed out

I could buy it and trust them bro

[molten prawn]

If they don't claim it will fit I wouldn't "trust them bro"

I do think it'll fit though, I just may be misguided lol

[sinful night]

fair

if it doesn't fit honestly I do want a smaller backpack for when I'm just going out with friends and don't need to bring a laptop but I do need to bring other things

[reef tusk]

look into camelbak i have a bag that would do that that sounds like what your wanting 🙂 similar size and pricing to that one

[rare ibex]

Ewwww.

[reef tusk]

and what is wrong with the camelbak brand?

[sinful night]

the thing I want more than that use case is for my everyday college use so it'd have to fit my laptop

[reef tusk]

ah i see

[rare ibex]

Hydration packs are a pain to clean.

[reef tusk]

this one isn't setup as that primary purpose

I can add a bladder but it doesn't have the seperate compartment

[rare ibex]

https://www.camelbak.com/pro.html

[reef tusk]

that is not the bag

looks like mines a older design, as they used to make just straight backpacks

ahhh this model is from 2009 before they changed to the direction they now are going in. I brought a bag from that time that is bigger than this one and loved it till it fell apart and found this one for $15 at a op shop barely used.

[reef tusk]

... which is a shame, im going to treasure this one, the way they do the straps your whole back carries the weight you can't tell how much you are carrying.

[rare ibex]

I got this chonker.

[reef tusk]

I used to have something similar, found it too big for daily use

[bold ledge]

According to whenplane, they've sold 1.7 million dollars of commuter backpacks

About 11400 units so far

[rare ibex]

That's why I got a Dell one lol

[reef tusk]

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-professional-backpack-17/apd/460-bcbk/carrying-cases#overview_section

[reef tusk]

Woah wonder how much is cost to produce the bag and the cost of staff etc

[rare ibex]

It's actually pretty good.

[rocky wolf]

Damn backpack on wave 2 already

[glacial olive]

Here i was thinking they would have sold nothing because who actually uses youtube shopping

God this is dog ass i am NOT paying five hundred clams for a backpack

[rocky wolf]

Youtube shopping is basically an affiliate link in simplest terms since it just redirects to LTT store and you purchase as normal

[rocky wolf]

What two items are they? Yikes that shipping and taxes though

[glacial olive]

Yeah but who the hell wants to give google a cut of an already expensive product

[glacial olive]

Regular backpack + scribedriver

I'll see if the taxes on the commuter pack are lower when i can buy it on the store

[rocky wolf]

True that but hey at least we benefit too

[glacial olive]

But i doubt it

[rocky wolf]

Its just your countrys tax rate im pretty sure

Here (UK) its 20%

Worked out to £139.49 which is alright

[glacial olive]

Idk i'm in the netherlands

[potent ocean]

What is the shipping to UK like?
I use a forwarding service to get to me in South Africa. This time I tried it via the UK rather than US

[rocky wolf]

Delivery time? 10 days to 3 weeks in my experience

[potent ocean]

Blegh. Here’s hoping for 10 days

[foggy sonnet]

It’s available on the store since yesterday

[foggy sonnet]

People used YouTube Shopping specifically to get the discount, it was pretty significant, and there’s no downside to it. You’re still buying from LTT’s website, you just needed to click through from the YouTube video first

[glacial olive]

Lol it's the price of the fucking regular backpack

Idk the extra 5 liters of the regular backpack would be extremely useful but are they 200 dollars extra useful?

[rocky wolf]

Did you add the discount?

[glacial olive]

Nah

But still it's not like 30 bucks changes the overall equation

Not buying it today anyway

[foggy sonnet]

Sure it does, it saves you an extra $45 or so once you account for taxes

[glacial olive]

Yeah yeah I'll look at it later

There's also the thing that the commuter backpack will arrive like at the end of february while the regular one will arrive at the end of jan

[foggy sonnet]

Linus did mention the discount is limited, but no specific number, he said if they sell 19,000 they’ll have run out and they’re currently almost up to 13,000 so the discount may run out at some point today

[foggy sonnet]

And yes, the first wave that arrives in January has already sold through

[indigo rover]

have they said if the steam deck or other handheld fits? with case or without? looks like it may fit where the teck sack fits

[indigo rover]

not how that works. new bag had a discount which would lower it even more and if you were actually buying the regular bag it would be more like $450 so for you its not the price of the regular, you also have 3 items in your cart not just the backpack. with the same taxes and shipping charge plus discount your looking at $190.09. thats way cheaper then the regular bag and worth it if you dont need the extra space.

[peak halo]

Someone asked that on WAN Show and Linus took a Steam Deck (minus case) and fit it sideways into the bottom of the tech pocket

[ornate moon]

Out of habit I always have my steam deck in its case when I'm not using it, however I did order sticklocks during black Friday so I might try caseless when my commuter bag arrives

[glacial olive]

minus case

So they're engineering them on purpose to sell the analog stick locks, fuckin give 'em the blades and sell them the razor

(Obvious sarcasm)

[low maple]

i believe they said valve didnt announce that they would ship with a case which led to the issue

[reef tusk]

Google is paying for the vouchers

and tbh they are giving google money by being on the platform.

[vital burrow]

I hate ltt so much, I've spent another couple hundred bucks on merch... Well, that screwdriver made me want another one(stubby). Now the commuter backpack? I GOTTA HAVE IT! <3

[reef tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/from-this-moment-on-i-am-poor-eric-cartman-south-park-s14e8-poor-and-stupid-gif-22866049

[lime fossil]

I still need to find a way to get rid of the stick-locks I bought

Might give them away at some conventions or something as they're kinda just useless to me

I don't trust them given the force they put on my sticks

[pine bay]

spout lid v2 is restocked

and water bottles

[reef tusk]

I’m only poor til Feb. just can’t do any more crazy spending

[bold ledge]

I'm pretty sure Google is giving LTT money

[rocky wolf]

Curious which is more popular 21oz or 40oz

Noticed the blue 21oz didn’t restock

[viscid shell]

While I can't speak to actual store sales numbers, I find the 21oz fits into more cupholders / backpacks, but the 40oz obviously holds more hydration so it may be a better choice if you do a lot of sports / activities. Or you could just buy both!

[rocky wolf]

The buy one get one free deal was such a great offer

[lime fossil]

3D print an adapter to fit big bottle

[patent pebble]

See I just worked as a volunteer at LTX and was given one after already ordering one for pickup at ltx.

[reef tusk]

Man the total of bags sold blows my mind
