[final quest]

I don't expect to get that mail in a newsletter, if it's a huge design flaw (which the carabiner v1 is) I expect to receive mails as a owner of said item - just like the time where they offered a 25 usd coupon because the backpack was in fact not dual layered. Which I even find less of an issue compared to the carabiner which goes 180° against the "made to last" philosophy of the backpack.

Something like "yea we made a mistake, here's a link to get your replacement kits, if you want"

Especially since it was said that "replacement zipper pulls will be send out to every backpack owner" in a Wan show, another reason I don't actively look into the faq or whereever I would have found the form - when I don't know if they are even finished yet, i only got back to that topic because I saw that new backpacks have the new design and that someone mentioned the topic here in this channel, otherwise I wouldn't have realized it for quite a bit longer that they actually offer replacements now.

You know what I'm trying to say there?

[peak halo]

That’s a long-ass way of saying you didn’t get this email

[final quest]

(also would have been fine with actually paying for replacements if they would have been avaliable during me ordering other things)

[final quest]

Yes, did Def not get it.

[peak halo]

It was a bit of a chaotic roll-out since they prioritised those who had broken carabiners already, but there was a separate Google form issued in December 2023 that accepted responses until June 20th. I don’t recall an email about it but anyone checking out the store FAQ or contacting support directly would have been linked to it #lttstore message

For context, I received that email more than two months after my replacement kit arrived 🤷‍♂️

[potent ocean]

Mine hasn't arrived yet 🤦‍♂️

(the carabiner, that is)

[nova quail]

will commuter have this problem

[ornate moon]

No

[lime fossil]

Commuter doesn't have carabiner pulls so can't have that problem.

[nova quail]

👍 aight, hope it ships soon

[modest shoal]

The 17th is the advertised date for first shipments

[pine bay]

the commuter has normal zipper pulls so the carabiner issue doesn't apply.
newer backpacks also ship with the new zipper pulls that don't have the issue.

[pine bay]

your confirmation email should tell you which wave youre in, along with an estimated shipping date

[rocky wolf]

Just a week and 2 days to go!

[undone socket]

What is new backpack start from? What date

[lime fossil]

Middle of 2024 or so?

Why?

[peak halo]

Backpacks as of late 2023 shipped with standard zipper pulls (no carabiners), it was a couple of months later (spring/summer 2024) that backpacks started shipping with the newer titanium carabiners

[solar glacier]

Man i was hoping to get that communiter backpack but they said the max laptop size is 14 in but mine is 14.7 in

For its height

[acoustic flax]

Does ipa breakdown the foam on the mouse matts?

Trying to figure out what happened to this scalper city matt

Id initially thought acetone but I feel like it's gotten worse and I'm not sure when acetone would have been near it in first place

It was gooey texture for a while before crumbling

[pine bay]

everyone panic! lttstore has no screwdrivers in stock! (other than the stubby)

[wanton torrent]

Hello, has anyone in a blue collar job tried the LTT cargos yet? I really want a pair but I want to know if they’ll be viable for heavy usage in the field 👍🏾

[low maple]

damnn, they might purge the colorways that werent doing too well ig and only stock black n orange or all black

[pine bay]

probably, but they didnt need to wait for it to be all out of stock to do that

[low maple]

prolly

it might also have sumn to do with the stock they were taking

idk

[nimble pewter]

Doubt it, there's only the 3 besides the main drivers

[low maple]

yeaaa ig, also there wasnt nay notice saying item wont be restocked like on some other items

[nimble pewter]

Two of those being the noctuas and the other being the retro. Unlike other things it probably doesn't affect them much to have a few colours since other than having to stock ratchet assemblies in all the colours, the the actual making of the drivers can be done in lower quantities since it's local

[low maple]

yeaa

[nimble pewter]

I wouldn't be surprised if it's just out of stock because of being marked as 0 while the organisation is going on

[pine bay]

nah, they ran out naturally

[low maple]

oh okay

[low maple]

ohkk

[bold ledge]

Beer makes a very bad cleaning fluid

[echo prairie]

Just ordered mine a couple days back, phew!

[pine bay]

looks like they just set the orange/black ones to unlimited stock for some reason

[modest shoal]

Search this discord, Reddit, and the store reviews. I’ve seen a number of posts from people who said they split/tore easily in the seat of the pants. That could definitely be a small number of cases, but it was interesting that a number of these reports said the same thing

[wanton torrent]

Yeah I’ll look around I just wanted to see if anyone personally has tried them. Because I seen them in the videos and it seemed like it would be nice to use for work

[paper mirage]

Not sure myself, I'd contact support.. that said, in my personally experience Alcohol tends to break down a lot of non-hard rubber..

[acoustic flax]

Bet. Don't really care about that mousepad it's a disgusting gpu scalper one anyway but would hate to have it happen to my ltx ones

[foggy sonnet]

Where did you see 14? I’ve only seen/heard them say 15” and even some 16”

[foggy sonnet]

Nvm you said height, not screen size

[radiant herald]

Which deskpad design is your favorite? Might cop one

[solar glacier]

Yeah thats the thing its a 17 inch xps so im prb going to have to get the big bag

[rocky wolf]

I use the northern lights one

[radiant herald]

Yeah, it looks nice

I actually haven't seen northern lights despite living in Finland for almost 2 years

[jaunty oxide]

Just got my pen and it matches my edc knife perfectly. Quality is top notch and cartridge choice is very nice as well 👌

[ornate moon]

Well that was a long minute

[ornate moon]

Hopefully it gets to my closest centre tomorrow so I can drive to pick it up (and pay the double tax)

[quaint abyss]

I hope he meant Isopropyl Alcohol.

What If LTT made BEER?

*next video Linus adds a mirco-brewery to the badminton center

one of the brews could be Id.10T err

[ornate moon]

Oh damn my other parcel didn't get custom charges?

[peak halo]

Probs assessed at less than £135

[ornate moon]

Weird because this one was $390

[echo prairie]

I keep checking the tracking on mine like a maniac while I remember perfectly well reading a 14-28 day shipping time

[ornate moon]

I wish it took 28 days

[tawdry condor]

This is probably gonna sound like a stupid question but is there really no way around the shipping and tax fees on the mousepads/a way to lower them? I'm in the UK and the price of a mousepad more than doubles because of the fees

[ornate moon]

Welcome to taxes (you pay them on everything)

[pine bay]

just write it off /j

[ornate moon]

But yeah https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty

No way around them

[hazy wren]

ltt just needs to open a global supply chain so they can store them in local warehouses

but also raise the prices to cover the cost of the local supply chain

just so you dont have to pay higher taxes

[ornate moon]

You don't say!
How haven't they thought of that

[stuck torrent]

Ah yes, simply open a global supply chain, no big deal.

[ornate moon]

Also you would still pay tax lmfao

[tawdry condor]

yeah I know, just here we're used to the taxes being included in the price and not after you get to the checkout lol

[reef tusk]

That is much more complicated than you realised

[hazy wren]

i fully realize the dumb logic

[pine bay]

so instead of paying taxes directly, you would be paying the taxes through the higher prices, plus the cost of more warehouses and employees

[hazy wren]

yes...this is the same logic as paying $139/year for free shipping

[stuck torrent]

Seriously though, biting the bullet and becoming multinational is a thing on their radar (full on 'global' might be a bit ambitious) in the long long term if they can find a point where it remotely makes sense. As it stands, is doesn't really make sense because of all the additional overhead and having proper oversight and so on causes practical issues on top of financial ones. Currently they're at a scale where it'd cost (e.g.) people in europe about the same amount at the end of the day even if they had a EU warehouse compared to the current situation (albeit with faster shipping times), but with all the other hiccups it doesn't make sense. If they keep on scaling up, maybe in another 5-10 years EU warehouse might be a reality, but for now they're still a relatively small fish on the global scale.

[ornate moon]

Tbh I'd preferred if they offered better shipping options (even if you have to pay extra) like DHL express instead of the standard that gets used

[lime fossil]

that would likely dilute their buying power basically towards shipping and raise their rates overall even for the base service

and complicate their processing, like having to sort which boxes get picked up by which shipper or such is another complication which takes man hours to resolve

[misty stump]

I was on the store website last night and found there are WAN trackpants and the picture shows Linux wearing a matching hoody, are these still available?

[peak halo]

WAN Hoodie (v2) is long gone from the store and not coming back, but they are working on a version 3.0

[frigid wolf]

b

[restive dust]

Should I get the Precision Screwdriver?

[low maple]

but its super nice and useful , also the 4mm adapter bit is usper nice

[restive dust]

No there's still stuff

[low maple]

nvm it was out of stock yesterday

[restive dust]

But like only 57 left

[low maple]

oh okay

yesterday all screwdrivers except the stubby showed out of stock

[modest shoal]

Do you need one?

Do you have the money set aside for one?

Do you want to support LTT?

Good questions to answer if you’re trying to figure out if you want to buy something 😊

[restive dust]

I just want to know how good it is

[low maple]

if u have a normal screwdriver its a bonus to have the precision

also depends if u want just the driver or the bitset too

[vital burrow]

Me waiting for my backpack a other stuff (Wave 2)

[bold ledge]

I pay that because I buy a lot of random shit that you can't get locally and it's often small orders under $10

[nimble pewter]

Feel free to create your own browser extension that modifies the displayed prices on product pages to add your local sales tax

And then you never have to see the non tax price

[molten prawn]

I have one. It’s high quality like all their products. I like it personally ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[potent ocean]

There are reviews on the store, it may be worth reading those to get an idea

[lime fossil]

How good a tool is varies by use and user. A screwdriver makes a pretty bad hammer after all, and the screwdriver that fits my hands well doesn't fit a small child.

Personally I like the added storage, the bearing is a gimmick 90% as the ifixt one was more than good enough for being a tool. The grip on the handle doesn't fit my hand / grip style as well as the ifixit though so I still use the ifixit handles a lot despite having 8 ltt precisions.

[potent ocean]

Why do you have 8?

[sleek wraith]

Welp, it looks like there's a chance I can never order from LTTstore.com again

I do not know who it was, if it was Creator Warehouse, Wizmo or MBIC Distributions but someone decided to enter an incomplete shipping address for my parcel. I really really really hope it was a mishap from Creator Warehouse as I would assume someone there just made a mistake and entered my address in wrong, which can easily be fixed. However if it was a systematic change by the shipping service or the distributor, then we are in trouble. because that would mean they will ALWAYS put in the wrong address

Trying to get it rerouted to a post office, but I sent a headsup mail to support anyways JIC, I have a feeling I sounded too much like a Karen in it, so I apologized in the mail itself for doing so

[lime fossil]

I'm a savy consumer

[ornate moon]

Wooo my first order arrived

[rocky wolf]

[ornate moon]

The water bottles feel so much nicer than the other ones I have

[nova quail]

so fking true

[modest shoal]

Me but wave 1 lol

[ornate moon]

Damn the scribe driver feels solid however is quite heavy

[modest shoal]

Weak arms 😉

[dense wind]

Does anyone know when the first wave of backpacks are supposed to be sent out

[rocky wolf]

17th

Well it says estimated 17th in the email

So around there

[dense wind]

thank you

[pine bay]

Wave 1 is January 17th, Wave 2 is January 31st, Wave 3 (current) is Febuary 14th

[ornate moon]

Even though I'm wave 1 I probably won't get the backpack till late Feb or early march

International shipping™️

[pine bay]

ah

was about to say - theyre pretty good about sticking to their shipping estimates.
but that is the shipping estimate, not arrival 😄

[ornate moon]

For me arrival is the only one that matters lol

Like my order that shipped on the 16th arrived before the one that shipped on the 12th

[ornate moon]

However that one I'll probably get on Monday or Tuesday

[dusk hemlock]

Just got a tracking number for my commuter backpack (Wave 1)

[velvet geyser]

Same

[peak halo]

I might have an unexpected flight to catch on a budget airline next week, so I’m sad that my wave 1 Commuter won’t arrive before then, but it is what it is

No label for mine as of yet

[rocky wolf]

Me neither

[snow stone]

still waiting for mine (Wave 1)

[bold ledge]

Same

My order is 1011xxx for reference

[peak halo]

Oop, dispatch email arrived a minute ago 🥳 (also #1011xxx)

[pine bay]

Oh nice they passed a million

[undone socket]

Also Backpack is amazing hard it for 3 months and so good

[pine bay]

I just got mine Black Friday. The shoulder straps were kinda uncomfortable at first but it’s gotten better as I’ve worn it

[patent pebble]

I’m wave one but also waiting for the floatplane shirt

[reef tusk]

woah.
commuter bag is on its way.

[reef tusk]

I've had a few packages so far from LTTstore and no problems, i believe this could be a one off human error, have you emailed support?

good thing i put in the family home address, not my actual address, just told my brothers to expect it.

[azure stratus]

Dang, 1015XXX for me, and also in wave 1

[reef tusk]

[i live in a place where there is a reception which is closed for the holidays]

lets see ....

I'm order #1011...

[paper mirage]

Same, got the email ~2hrs ago..

[bold ledge]

If it actually got to me by Friday of next week, that would be sweet since I'm going on a 3 day trip next weekend

[final quail]

I have a launch backpack. Ride a motorcycle daily. Including a big crash last summer. It’s completely fine. Aside from the body being more pliable because it’s worn in, it looks new.

[undone socket]

Oh Man in the 3 months I've hade it idk how it's alive. My old bag died after 2 weeks of daily use. Happy I found a bag that won't break in my life style. One thing it's pretty big and takes a lot of room on the Public Transit. Get some weird looks lol.

[final quail]

Yeah it’s not small. But it’s so useful. And I need to pack around a bunch of stuff. My bag regularly weighs 25-30lbs lol

[patent pebble]

I’m swapping my dnd/Magic the gathering bag from an old adidas bag to the original LTT backpack, and swapping my stuff in the OG backpack to the commuter.

[final quail]

I almost bought the commuter to have a backup bag that is smaller, but talked myself out of the expense. It’s really nice looking…

[undone socket]

I feel that. I over stuffed it today couldn't fit anything else.

[undone socket]

Was about to do the same. If my load changes cause of a change of education and shit might just change to the smaller commuter one.

[final quail]

My gaming laptop doesn’t fit the commuter. But it does fit the OG. And if I can’t bring my computer to work to game when I don’t want to work I’d be sad lol

Another note. Looks like new hoodies may drop on the store soon. Goddammit Linus, I want that pink one… he’s good at taking my money

[undone socket]

I'm waiting for the cables.

[final quail]

I foresee spending ungodly amounts of money on those. Home theatre full rework. Desk rework. Backpack cables.

[undone socket]

Don't get me started

[modest shoal]

For real?? speed checks shipping status

[reef tusk]

I am in wave one and ordered after it was annoucenced

[reef tusk]

yeah me to

[undone socket]

I'm in wave that is people that get it when restocks

[sleek wraith]

I have, this is the first time I have ordered in 5 years, a lot has changed since then

[reef tusk]

[modest shoal]

I did too. I don’t have an updated status though 😔

[paper mirage]

Yep i'm Wave 1 and put in my order in the first 20min..

[modest shoal]

Oh well, I wasn’t expecting it to ship until the 17th so it’ll get here when it gets here

[reef tusk]

i've had some issues with one store local that kept putting my number wrong but now they are doing well, hopefully its going to get sorted

[sleek wraith]

Speaking of which I am still waiting for my payout from Linus for repping the shirt whilst appearing in the news

[final quail]

I think the hoodies they are wearing are going to be a loot box

The box at the front of the set has me speculating 🤔

[proper shell]

I thought new products typically go on the store before WAN starts so they can get merch messages ready?

[final quail]

Dan made a comment in preshow about Linus giving a signal of some kind

[ivory scarab]

its probably cus the pink(lambo edition) will be a limited number

like the beanie toque

[final quail]

If I can buy one straight up I will. It looks like the potato sack hoody. Which is the most comfy hoody ever lol

[sleek wraith]

Back when LTT store first launched, I bought the shirt you can see in the pic above. It was 19.99$ + 7.99$ shipping to Austria over Canada Post. Unfortunately not long after this, shipping has gotten so ridiculously expensive that I it costed more to ship the products than the actual products.

6 years have now passed and LTT store has totally changed. Taxes are now precalculated into the price (probably an EU thing) and shipping is done over wizmo who first ships to to a German forwarding company called MBIC Distributions who then passes it on to me. I assume somewhere in this chain someone screwed up and it definitely wasn't the LTT screwdriver

[reef tusk]

Shipping in general has gotten expensive. For me to send things locally it’s not cheap

[sleek wraith]

I placed a massive order for my standards which is why I finally justified paying the high shipping fee to myself. I used my merch message opportunity to get a shout-out to my home nation of Austria during the show

It got displayed in the ticker

Unfortunately missed out on the SNES color variant tho, so I went with black and orange

[sleek wraith]

It's actually crazy how much it has changed. Buying the disappointment pc shirt from gamers Nexus for example has become a yearly tradition for me and I own every single rendition made so far. It went from 20$ for the shirt + 10 for shipping with DHL to 28$ + 20 shipping over the past 7 years

[reef tusk]

Yep

And the people I am selling to think I can make it cheaper

[sleek wraith]

I mean I get it, Austria is far away, small nation on a different continent, not a lot of people live there, shipping volumes are low so prices are high as the economies of scale ain't scaling

[reef tusk]

I live in nz same issue

[sleek wraith]

Someone on this server once sent me a motherboard for free and they paid 60$ for shipping from the US with USPS. Being the based person they are they even covered that for me. But it's crazy nonetheless

[reef tusk]

So totally get it. Maybe yours is smaller but I totally get the whole small world vs bigger world situation

Woah that’s a boss move.

Also I got that screwdriver from Black Friday mystery

[sleek wraith]

I blew my BF money on something else. I decided to get the LTT screwdriver because I decided to make a massive upgrade to my current equipment. I've been building and repairing with the same dollar store screwdriver set my dad bought me in 2017. The magnets have lost their strength and remagnetizing only got me this far. So I decided I'll go all out, got the LTT screwdriver, an ifixit protech toolkit and a signed GamersNexus screwdriver set.

[reef tusk]

yeah i've been rebuilding my tool kit too

the mystery driver price was the only way i could justify the cost because at the time the USD was $1.77 per NZD

[sleek wraith]

This is the first time I am gonna work with ratcheting. But the order timing couldn't have been worse. It was the Friday before Christmas so most shit was sold out. I wanted to grab some shirts while at it, the only thing I found was a Case shirt that was one size too large

But I like wearing oversize sometimes so I grabbed it anyways

Kinda regret not picking up some PTM while at it

[unkempt sable]

Supersoft hoodie has ruined me... My old favorite hoodie feels.. Not as comfy

i want it but WOW thats expensive

[ivory scarab]

they're gone

[wise saddle]

yea lol

super super limited

[ivory scarab]

1min for 69 to sell out

[wise saddle]

i do wanna get the regular brown one tho

i regret not getting the uncle linus one so this is perfect

[paper mirage]

Mod Mat next Friday

[ivory scarab]

mod mat coming next friday

[wise saddle]

modmat is actually really cool wow

[languid mulch]

is the new hoodie a cleaned up uncle linus hoodie, or different material?

[reef tusk]

it honors that hoodie, but due to that one being a limited release they couldn't bring that one back so they did this one to do it 🙂

[patent pebble]

Thanks barrington

i can't wait to have a new backpack again, that new backpack smell better be the same- i loved that smell slightly less than the steam deck but still it was wonderful

[foggy sonnet]

Damn, I checked the store when they went live because I wasn’t gonna be watching live tonight and this wasn’t up yet

I’m not the biggest fan of super limited drops, like yeah you make a small number of people very happy but then everyone else gets to feel like they missed out

[paper mirage]

It went up as it was announced cause there was only 69 of them..

[ivory scarab]

just like the beanie

[paper mirage]

And agreed, I'm not a fomo guy.. especially limited quanity..

But as I said in wanshow, they sould do more or another colourwave and sell it for LA Relief or for the affected creators down there..

I'd get one of these hoodies if they were wanshow colours or something.. I don't like the brown, or the lambo.

[foggy sonnet]

I would’ve definitely bought the lambo one for the meme

[foggy sonnet]

MIBC is I believe the logistics company they use, and is in Canada. They ship via a company called Wizmo, who then hands it off to a downstream carrier

[nova quail]

damn

wave 1 on the way

[ornate moon]

Package 2!

Time for me to grab my car keys

[rocky wolf]

Yay woke up to my commuter being dispatched!

[ornate moon]

Box 2 collected

Gonna park somewhere else and see what mystery drivers I got

[echo prairie]

Follow up on what you got!

[ornate moon]

I was meant to then someone needed help jump starting their car lmfao

Wow I literally got one of each colour way for the mystery drivers

[echo prairie]

Damn that's nice!

[ornate moon]

If I had a double it would've been my defacto use and abuse, now I gotta pick

[echo prairie]

Really wanted the retro one myself but it was out of stock when I decided to buy earlier this month so I just got the classic black/orange color

[ornate moon]

Starting to fill the tech sack

It's replacing this little thing

[hollow bane]

Is that a stick I see? A man of culture

[ornate moon]

Indeed it is, however most cars in the UK are manual anyways

[dapper axle]

I've only had it for 2 weeks but the Precision and bit set has helped me greatly with a ton of laptop repairs

Very glad I waited for the combo to be stocked again

[low maple]

niceee

[peak halo]

At 3am local time of all things. Not only was I fast asleep for the go-live but also the reveal. 420 should be the new 69 for Lambo-style limited edition stuff

[stuck torrent]

690 6.9k 69k... seems like the natural scaling progression, although I grant the demand curve for 'limited' stuff can get weird if theres too much supply.

[night arch]

Sweet my commuter backpack shipped.

[wicked ice]

Hey, do you know if maybe https://www.lttstore.com/products/the-offsite-laptop-bag Offsite Laptop Bag has ever been featured in a video?

[mortal garnet]

Can't remember seeing it on a main channels video, likely featured on a wan show, search on whenplane.com

[final quail]

I refreshed the store the second it went on sale and I still didn’t get one…I had everything ready too.

[modest shoal]

Let’s goooo

Too late for my next work trip, but just in time for my big conference trip

[warped ruin]

Linus said on WAN that they should probabky do 690 next time they do something like this

[warped ruin]

Hoping I get my email soon 🥲

[foggy sonnet]

I’d be a lot more ok with that even if I still missed it

Bc at least it gives people a chance

[reef tusk]

They prob didn’t think it would go in borderline seconds

But it was a chance for them to learn and they will

[near path]

Watching recent wan show. Modmat is on it again, any idea of release date? Or is it just "coming soon"

[peak halo]

Friday 17th

[near path]

Cheers. I must have missed it. Did you catch a time?

[reef tusk]

Sign up for the email, 100 people will be randomly chosen to get 40% off and it will be sent when in stock.

[lime fossil]

696 Kappa funnier number

[lime fossil]

speaking of modmats, anyone got a recommended soldering mat? / mats?

[mortal garnet]

a mildly wet sheet of plywood is all I'll ever need, probably

[fair belfry]

Is backpack wave 1 still shipping around the 17th?

[ornate moon]

yes

Some people have also got their tracking numbers already

[fair belfry]

Good to know thanks!

Honestly I was going through my current backpack setup and I'm surprised there's hasn't been an insulated LTT lunchbox

I hope my current lunchbox fits in the commuter bag okay

[low maple]

Probably during Wan show but possible any other random time

[modest shoal]

I want an LTT baby onesie that has the “Do Not Drop” warning on it 😂

[sour acorn]

Not gonna lie. I actually am pretty irritated with how quickly shit sells out and how it doesn't get restocked. I want a couch potato hoodie and my size apparently sold out during WAN, and probably won't get restocked. They need to do better or scale and plan better.

I've been buying LTT merch for four years now and I think the last ~14 months has just been some of the worst experience trying to get stuff.

[reef tusk]

the amount of babies i would actualy buy for o.O

[wet garden]

I got my care package of the LTT backpack, and got both the screw driver and precision screwdriver kit and so glad i made the move and finally ordered everything. In the excitement of ordering everything. I totally forgot about how to leave a merch message. RIP.

Input i gott say on everything I got:

-LTT Backpack. It's an absolute beast of a backpack and I love black and orange aesthetic. It's perfect for my work day where I can have my laptop/Rog Ally, a hoodie, my lunch, and even my daily previsions in there. Such a good backpack.
-LTT Screwdriver. Severely underrated in the world of drivers. As someone who's a technician and uses Snap on, matco, mac, Icon, craftsman, etc. This driver absolutely rocks. I love how it feels.
-LTT Precision driver set. This driver is extremely thoughtful, feels so nicely made, and the case with the bits is an absolute must. The spinner top is a huge plus for me as I love to press them into my palm as I rotate and its butter smooth.

Was it an expensive purchase yeah. But absolutely worth it for everything.

[ornate moon]

Tbh I would've got the precision driver if I didn't already own two ifixit toolkits

The normal screwdriver is great tho

[wicked ice]

anybody?

Its LMG's own fault for doing such limited releases.. if they wanted to sell only 69 of them they shoulda done an auction and used the profits for something (like the wildfire relief) imho.. or if just selling, increase the numbers, as Linus said, 690 or something more on par with the hardcore audience..

One can only hope no one buys the scalper stuff

[astral vortex]

Why are they still on the store?

[paper mirage]

Either cause it was the weekend and no one took it down, or more likely, they keep it up till it at least ships

[sour acorn]

This shit also pisses me off. They could’ve easily sold thousands

[paper mirage]

Not sure about thousands, but for sure a lot more than they made..

[lyric abyss]

Yes, but at the same time they made over 5 grand profit in less than 5 minutes, I really can’t wait for the next “How LTT makes money video” Creator Warehouse has been absolutely killing it for the last few years and that chunk of the pie is only going up, which means that more of these issues will be alleviated as time goes on. I didn’t get one because I hesitated, but I honestly think that’s awesome, and I appreciate the limited run items even I don’t get the ones I want. (I also collect keycaps, so my opinion is bias and irrelevant)

[lyric abyss]

It’s just cool that they CAN sell more, but choose not to, adding arbitrary rarity value, and a kind of nerdy prestige. Now I don’t like Supreme style brands that only utilize limited runs to create insane demand, but LTT hasn’t really done that, instead just using the insane demand to generate quick sales, while typically offering a more available in stock item along side it.

[tall birch]

I’d like to think LTT viewers know good enough to not buy scalper listings, but you never know

[paper mirage]

I see enough comments in twitch/youtube chat/replies to videos to know better than to assume the best 😉

[tall birch]

This is true

[ornate moon]

I used one of those ultra tiny screwdrivers once, absolutely destroyed the top of a screw head with it

Wouldn't recommend

[hidden pendant]

oh I agree, It's just one of those "free" ones that come with some products, I just tought it looked cute in there

[ornate moon]

Tbh yeah lmfao, got a screwdriver in your screwdriver

[molten prawn]

LTT driver with storage in the handle for the precision driver when?

[modest shoal]

When Apple sponsors an LTT video

[digital ravine]

do we know the composition of the metal if the screwdriver shaft?

[modest shoal]

This is the product description on the store page correct?

[green holly]

It’s the “product information” section directly under the description

[digital ravine]

ah didnt seem to find that on my phone, might just be stupid however lol. zinc is what i was looking for lol thank you!

[modest shoal]

If you’re looking to take zinc supplements you shouldn’t be eating screwdriver shafts.

[digital ravine]

nah trying to prevent contamination and can't use anything with zinc in it

[bold ledge]

Anyone else's backpack shipment say something like this?

[green holly]

That status is typical for UPS shipments until they're picked up by UPS itself.

[modest shoal]

She’s gotten me through 12 years of school and travel. This is her last time taking a flight with me. The commuter bag will take her place.

[foggy sonnet]

You likely wouldn’t have gotten one even if you didn’t hesitate, that’s how few of them there were

[foggy sonnet]

Limited is one thing, but sells out in seconds is extremely frustrating for more people than it isn’t

[paper mirage]

They were sold out before Linus finished talking about them.. thats when you know its too few..

[modest shoal]

Cmon, this is LTT, Linus’ company. The whole thing is basically built on memes lol

They don’t owe it to anyone to produce enough for us all to get one

[paper mirage]

Given Linus himself called out how few they made and how it should have been more during WANShow, clearly he gets it.

[lyric abyss]

esp a double price colorway, it’s a luxury high profit item, if they were doing 1k of these people would be complaining about the price not the availability

[hazy wren]

i bet there is nothing wrong with it...i have the same one....i'm just tired of it

[stuck torrent]

Its tricky for the limited stuff. You make too many and it loses its limited appeal and ends up overpriced dead stock you cant discount without people grumbling, but you make too few and they go in seconds before the whales can have their fill. Maybe they could do 690, perhaps even sprinkled throughout the day so people of all time zones get a shot, but the silly overpriced versions are weird to stock around.

[paper mirage]

Thousands is too much, for for this I think we should all agree 69 is too few.. it was gone in under a minute.. its not like, say, doing 69 of a special screwdriver thats they are gonna sell for hundreds..

Hell if they really wanted to do a limit they could have atleast allowed people to have say 24hrs to enter, then draw 69 to get it.. more fare than people who are watching at the time, infront of their device, able to checkout at a moments notice..

[vagrant ore]

Though it would be nice if they didn't oversell merch. Still extremely salty about my water bottle

[neon coral]

i've looked around a bit, is there no discount for if you're buying a screwdriver and shaft ext and every bit set except standard because it's included?

i kind of expected something like the precision+precision bit set combo for $10 off but i can't find anything on the store or any discount codes

[paper mirage]

Nope, but all of it didn't exist at launch, and its rare all of those parts are in stock at the same time..

They are making a case, so they might do it then

[neon coral]

true

is there any eta on the case at all? i know it's a trope at this point to want to know when. anyone know if it's planned for q1 or 2, or if it's likely going to be later in the year or early next year?

[nimble pewter]

What exactly do you think they oversold about the water bottle?

[paper mirage]

We never get good ETA's untill its just about ready, and even then they can dangle it for months

[neon coral]

yeah

probably won't be hyped like the precision was

[paper mirage]

I think they just know better than to put a date on it till its 100%

[nimble pewter]

They've previously put dates on things and it always gets delayed by the ports or whatever so they just don't anymore

[modest shoal]

Aside from the rips forming where the handle meets the bag, rips separating some zippers, the rubber on the handle falling apart, the bottom tearing, and lots of fraying on the inside, it’s doing great! 😂

[neon coral]

if the precision wasn't as hyped up as it was, i would've gotten an ifixit set because i had a bunch of stuff to fix that i was holding off on for it specifically

[nimble pewter]

Do you not see the holes in the top of it?!

[neon coral]

i remember mention of leatherman bits working with the screwdriver, i know they should logically work with the screwdriver part, but do they work with the storage?

might also be imagining things again

[vagrant ore]

They backordered them and never fulfilled the backorder. Then discontinued all the color ways.

@nimble pewter

And to add insult to injury they were using them as toys at LTX

[vagrant ore]

Reply broke apparently

[nimble pewter]

So you ordered something that wasn't in stock, they didn't end up having the stock expected, refunded you, and you're "extremely" salty about it?

[neon coral]

how often do you guys use the shaft extension on the full size?

[vagrant ore]

It WAS in stock when I got it, then I got a "sorry this item is now backordered" note in my package when it arrived.

Then it sat on back order status for months then disappeared.

[nimble pewter]

So they fucked up the stock numbers, ran out but promised to ship it when they got more, but ultimately decided to not restock the specific one you wanted and you're "extremely" salty about it?

[vagrant ore]

You seem to have a problem with that

[astral steeple]

Value wise the ifixit kit is much better. It's currently on sale for $55 cad vs $50usd + shipping, and the ifixit also includes the extension. The only pro of the ltt is the screwdriver that can store bits in it and a has a better spinner.

[nimble pewter]

I do have a problem with how you feel about it. "Extremely" salty is a bit extreme 😉

[molten prawn]

I mean, he may not have lost anything tangible in the exchange, and a full refund is really the only way to handle it when they discontinue a product they had put a backorder on, but it seems reasonable to be a bit miffed when you order and pay for something and the store is just like "nvm lol".

[paper mirage]

Also the LTT bits can be situationally preferred over the ifixit ones..

They are narrower at the tip meaning there are some spots they simply fit better into

err not at the tip, but farther up from the tip

[nimble pewter]

The ifixit kit is less, yes. But it also includes less

[paper mirage]

Thats not to say its better value, just pointing out another difference that will mater for some people but not for most.

[nimble pewter]

Assuming it's the one I think you're talking about, you haven't mentioned which specific kit

[vagrant ore]

I was given store credit for when it would come back in stock according to staff, and it never did. And all the button up shirts and other alternatives I've considered to date have had the exact same thing happen. They sit on "backordered" for months than disappear. Their inventory management is really lacking. At this point I shoot just ask for a refund but it's been so long I'm not sure it's even possible.

[neon coral]

i already have the precision. love it too. thinking about getting the full size for this FRC Season https://www.firstinspires.org/robotics/frc

[astral steeple]

What part is less? I guess I didn't specify but I'm comparing the Precision Bit Set + Case vs the Mako 64 bit set.

[neon coral]

this saved me a lot on nerf guns. they love to be smaller than a standard precision bit width. they're also longer so i have to use a fixed blade screwdriver a decent bit too though unfortunately.

[astral steeple]

I assume the bits are almost the same, so the main diff is in the driver and the case.

[neon coral]

biggest difference is the narrowness. 100%

[molten prawn]

Support is good, I'm sure they'd process a refund given that situation. But yes, products do tend to sit as "notify when back in stock" for a long time, and when they decide to trim skus that happens. Unfortunately they operate on relatively small volume and can't maintain too many products at once.

[paper mirage]

You assume wrong, they specifically modified the bits for situations they raninto with the ifixit ones

[neon coral]

wasn't there a whole scandal type issue with ifixit's phillips being JIS or something to that effect

[astral steeple]

Didn't they modify their driver (ltt) so it's compatible with the ifixit bits?

[molten prawn]

The bits have the same compatibility, the part that inserts into the driver is a standard. What they did is make more of the bit the actual bit tip, and less the thick base part. Which differs from the standard but doesn't make it incompatible.

[neon coral]

moreso to be compatible with the whole industry but yes. (both ifixit and ltt were kindof forced to conform to the wrong specs)

[molten prawn]

^

[nimble pewter]

Because the industry does the tolerences backwards

[molten prawn]

idr which way around it goes, but the tolerance is either on the bit or the driver and the industry standard is to do it the dumb way

so they did it the dumb way

[neon coral]

the screwdriver is oversized for the bits. specs say to have the undersize on the bits, and screwdriver is precise (i think) 4mm

[paper mirage]

Indeed, they all work together, the bits themselves are just different from either, making the LTT ones fit better in a few situations.. again not something everyone runs into or needs.

[vagrant ore]

Yeah I just wish theyd change the backorder to "out of stock" until they actually had a confirmed shipment coming in that'd be huge for communication. Then set the status to backordered or arriving soon once things are on the boat.

[neon coral]

so far i've found one screw the precision can't unscrew. it's some weird flower shaped gamebit style cap screw from inside some dish home video hardware.

[paper mirage]

I was hoping to find a 1:1 shot, but this will do https://www.jeffgeerling.com/sites/default/files/images/ltt-precision-screwdriver-kit-and-ifixit-moray.jpeg you can see how thin the LTT bits are vs the ifixit ones.. if its a very right hole then LTT's can provide better access..

[molten prawn]

Backorder products should be manually configured by them. Usually when a product goes out of stock it says "notify me when available" and lets you set up an email alert. The backorder button is something they enable for products manually as far as I'm aware.

[neon coral]

also, does anyone else's precision driver fall out of the foam loose in the case even just flipping it? i'm assuming it's wear and tear as i've put mine through a good bit just in the few months i've had it

[paper mirage]

Nope mines been rock solid.. but I have heard of others mention that..

[molten prawn]

I do wonder about the longevity of it. It is just foam, as you say.

[neon coral]

i'm not going to support unless the bits start falling out en-mass or the foam disentegrates since this is kindof expected wear and tear.

[neon coral]

ifixit is the same from the above image (i think)

[molten prawn]

I'd have the same worry then

[neon coral]

yeah.

the large flathead also is very close to falling out. it's a bigger bit and has the least foam on one side of any bits so it's kindof expected, but still.

[molten prawn]

not that the foam insert is the star of the case, I'd assume it's replaceable, but when durability/longevity has been their primary concern in bit storage (according to Linus anyway) ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[paper mirage]

I expect if the foam starts to fail LMG will step up.. at least I hope so.. But this is also the risk at buying any new product at launch.. they can't catch everything..

[neon coral]

has anyone had their ltt mini (non precision) bits rust at all? and if so under what circumstances

[neon coral]

this is especially something that's hard to wear test with anything less than a few months of on the job heavy testing.

[molten prawn]

They're a disposable item. They'll break/scratch/whatever before the screw (by design), and are intended to be replaced at some point.

[nimble pewter]

If anyone has had them rust it would be under normal circumstances for rust...
Keep them out of moist areas and don't strip the coating off of them

[molten prawn]

But yes, try to keep them dry lol

[paper mirage]

Also doesn't help that not everyone is having the issue.. only seen a few people saying they are.. so it can also be luck of the draw too..

[neon coral]

i'm aware, i'm just curious how quickly if at all they'll rust. if it'll last at least a good few months when not left outside, no problem. but i've had decent quality bits just go from beautiful finish to rust because i left them in the garage overnight. (not raining)

[vagrant ore]

Yeah, the email notification has the same issue, it implies it's coming back when it isn't guaranteed.
Newegg for all its flaws actually does warn you about sold out items correctly and says they may not be restocked. Storefronts are hard.

[neon coral]

i did notice, the glue seems to be pulling a very slight bit on the bottom of the foam, glue strength batch to batch and application pattern could be a cause.

[molten prawn]

I've had no issues with rust on mine and had them since the original launch. I'm a light user though so mileage may not be representative for you.

[molten prawn]

A few of them are pretty scraped up by now though.

[neon coral]

how light, like a few times a week, or a handful of times a month? (referring to "light use")

what's yall's opinion on the precision to full size hex adapter included in the bit set on the screwdriver?

[molten prawn]

I mean if you can't order it I don't really see an issue. It's not that they don't intend to restock it, just how their plans evolve with products. Something like you had where the item was ordered and just awaiting fulfillment seems incredibly annoying though.

[molten prawn]

Idk, as needed. Not multiple times a week on average.

[neon coral]

alright.

[molten prawn]

Is that what that's for? I wondered why that was elsewhere in the kit XD

[neon coral]

so what lasted you 2 years will probably last me around 6 months

[molten prawn]

Idk what use that would be, but cool to provide it I guess XD

[neon coral]

i'm a very heavy user especially january to april because of robotics

[molten prawn]

I'd just have extra bits on hand if you do heavy work, but that'd be my suggestion for every driver/drill.

[neon coral]

i'm going to use it for when i need to use a torx bit on an hp server, but the precision is just not enough to get it to budge. it happens more for me than i'd love

[nimble pewter]

If you're using the screwdriver properly the bits shouldn't wear much anyway

[molten prawn]

They break. The good ones break before they mess up your critical screw lol

[neon coral]

lol yeah.

[molten prawn]

metal + metal, scratches just kinda happen

[nimble pewter]

Only time I've ever broken bits is dealing with rusty old shit

[neon coral]

the good ones break and fall out of the screw

the bad ones...

[nimble pewter]

Scratches I wouldn't count as wear lol

Cosmetics don't matter for function

[neon coral]

it's wearing the coating that protects from rust to an extent so yes it would

[molten prawn]

I assume the coating isn't purely cosmetic

[neon coral]

exactly

[molten prawn]

but prevents rust and stuff

and the same way you scratch the finish the head is gonna wear a little with use

[neon coral]

"Our industrial-looking black phosphate-coated S2 steel bits are durable and rust resistant."

[paper mirage]

If I'm dealing with rusty screws on my LTT Screwdriver I get a non-ltt bit that I care less about, since those than be so hard to get off and damage bits..

[nimble pewter]

And they still won't rust any real amount unless you're leaving them somewhere moist
And if you're doing that I'd be more concerned about the screwdriver's ratchet

[molten prawn]

you shouldn't be snapping them all the time but they're not designed to last forever

[paper mirage]

Thankfully I have bits from other tools before I got the LTT one..

[neon coral]

in what way? spreading rust or more coating removal?

[molten prawn]

my bad, lemme just move out of the atmosphere rq

[neon coral]

it's perfect for space. if cold welding didn't exist

[paper mirage]

Just more stuck, so harder to remove, then its a test of whats gonna fail first, rust, head, or bit.

[molten prawn]

lol

[neon coral]

or worse, shaft of the screw

[nimble pewter]

[paper mirage]

Thankfully I've not had that.. most common is the head, but I've mangled more than a few bits before too.

[foggy sonnet]

I don’t think I’ve had to even once so far, but I use it all the time with the Stubby

[neon coral]

you're using vencord for no @ replies aren't you. i keep forgetting to fix vencord and i'm so used to having it i just reply like a reddit thread lol

[paper mirage]

Either cause the bit is shitty or cause the screw/bolt is simply stronger

[neon coral]

stubby 1000% makes sense. the full size seems a bit weird to need it for

[molten prawn]

Nope, I just turn it off when people are actively in the conversation because I don't like spamming people with unnecessary yellow.

I miss a few here and there

[neon coral]

oh you're doing it manually then.

[molten prawn]

It's not exactly a chore

[neon coral]

good on you man. i don't have the dedication for that personally. i only really ever do it manually when i'd be necroing a message

[nimble pewter]

It's right above the send button on mobile and you can just shift click reply on desktop

[molten prawn]

you can what now

[neon coral]

never knew you could shift reply

[molten prawn]

bruh

why no one tell me

[neon coral]

holy shit thats so good lmao

i'mma do that all the time now

[nimble pewter]

Same with deleting messages, shift click to not have the confirmation prompt

[molten prawn]

that one I knew

[neon coral]

i knew that, not the reply thing tho.

there's no tooltip for it, it just stays reply

[molten prawn]

shift to avoid prompts is kinda a thing in stuff

but that that would disable the notification on reply I wouldn't personally call intuitive XD

I'm sure it's somewhere in that massive keybinds list Discord has

[neon coral]

would be cool if it had [Reply @ ] in the tooltip

[nimble pewter]

Shift is just for changing the function of things

So makes sense

[molten prawn]

trueue

[neon coral]

i only ever learn about shortcuts like that by the tooltip so makes sense

[molten prawn]

I never would have thought it the way they have the UI personally

[neon coral]

edit and reaction have no change, so i feel reply deserves a tooltip change for it tbh

[nimble pewter]

Iirc holding shift and hovering over the message options does change the icon

[molten prawn]

It works more like an image spoiler than a normal confirmation

[molten prawn]

negative

[nimble pewter]

Maybe it was in canary but never made it to final

[molten prawn]

it changes the options on the right when hovering the message, but I actually right click for the options because they're so far off to the right when you have Discord fullscreened

[neon coral]

it adds copy link and mark unread, but reply, edit, foward, and react are the same.

[molten prawn]

this ^

[neon coral]

i'd have lumped reply in with the others as not changing

[foggy sonnet]

Mine does as well, it helps to give the shaft a push downwards into the foam but it still falls out sometimes

[neon coral]

it works in the flyout ... too

[paper mirage]

Thats a cool trick, thanks for sharing.. one of those things that either Discord never said, or said at some point when I was just clicking through

[neon coral]

i've found some orientations work better than others

[neon coral]

probably in some newsletter that should be an info button in settings like markdown should be :/ still don't know why i can't <> or ()[] a link with tooltips and have to do it manually :/

[molten prawn]

with how much they right I'd never have a chance XD

[foggy sonnet]

No rust so far, and I keep a driver with bits in the trunk of my car, so it sees many many thermal/humidity cycles

[molten prawn]

especially when their update logs popup for the next 3 years after they go live

[neon coral]

how much use? heavy daily for job/big hobby or just the odd part swap or assembling of furniture?

also, can we talk about how the precision bit case's layout is designed so subtly and isn't mentioned anywhere that it's meant to keep similar looking bits, eg petalobe and torx, or tri-wing and phillips in seperate areas so you can't easily mix them up

i'm like 80% sure this was intentional and i'd love if someone from the team could confirm if i'm the first person to notice purely to boost my ego about my attention to detail in good designs.

even pz and philipps are separated by a size gap, tiny philipps are near the large (and only) PZ bits.

[molten prawn]

Are you saying they're sorted?

I thought that was a given ngl

[neon coral]

i'm saying they're sorted and specifically spaced out based on how easy they are to differentiate

imagine if the tiny torx and the pentalobe were right next to each other, but they're not, torx and pentalobe are seperated entirely by square bits

i very well may be calling attention to detail something that was done by pure chance, but it seems too perfect to not be intentional.

[molten prawn]

probably that LTT touch

[neon coral]

i really hope it is. i'm sure it's never been talked about but i'm sure someone was testing layouts and picked up on this and fixed it.

[molten prawn]

They design and test everything very thoroughly - except the things that slip through the cracks

[neon coral]

basically the only exception is gamebit and the magnetic, but there's not much they can do about that without splitting that row which would comprimise the appearance.

to an extent i'd say even small hex bits and small torx bits could look a little too similar at a glance

things like this are what makes ltt what it is. over obsession about specific issues and details other people gloss over and some people hate

unrelated anyone have any tech tips for cleaning the magnetic tray? it's collecting debris like crazy, but i'm scared iso would dissolve the adhesive

i looked for care info on the store but i couldn't find any, so i just bleached it and threw it in the dryer on hell is that fine? /s

[foggy sonnet]

So the one I keep in the car is my first driver, it was sporadic, at least 2-3 times a week use for ~2 years, working on mostly computer hardware, but occasionally automotive, furniture, or other random things. Built a driver at LTX and eventually swapped to using that one full time, and the one in the car is there in case I for some reason don’t have my main one. But did use it about a week ago, and it, along with the bits, don’t seem any worse for the wear

[foggy sonnet]

I’d like to know too if anyone’s got the proper method for cleaning it. I’ve just been using compressed air on it or blowing on it to dislodge stuff

[neon coral]

i tried that, but it's also stained and water isn't doing it.

[molten prawn]

bigger magnet

(unironically it would probably work)

[neon coral]

lol

you're right

it might

it also might shatter itself against the neodymium case magnets

win some lose some :/

[molten prawn]

well don't drop it 🙄 /s

[neon coral]

lol

problem is, the magnets are so strong, they attract the screw, and the debris around the screw, together and then dirty the bit case

truely a testemant to ltt quality magnets

is there any plans to have another byo screwdriver booth at the lan/badminton center's first lan?

[paper mirage]

Doubt it, but one never knows with LMG..

[ornate moon]

I've had bits rust from a variety of different brands which is sad and they're just kept in the living room where in the winter it may get a little cold because we can't afford to have the heating on all day

I'm just hoping the LTT screwdriver doesn't succumb to the same fate

[nimble pewter]

Well the invested in the tools for it, so the only limiting factor is their willingness to have all the coloured plastics done again

And of course the team being willing to staff it for the event

[paper mirage]

And the willingness to order more coloured parts..

[nimble pewter]

You just repeated what I said...

willingness to have all the coloured plastics done again

[patent pebble]

As soon as my commuter backpack gets in, i get to start writing a review vs my similarly priced backpack from Samsonite. (Modern Utility paracycle backpack)

[modest shoal]

This was discussed on a recent WAN Show and the answer if I remember correctly was “we’d love to, but it probably won’t happen again”

One of the big reasons being that they can’t predict which colors are going to be the most popular, and they don’t want to wind up with hundreds or even thousands of color pieces that would go unused. Plus the time it takes to put them all together, staffing the booth, etc

[neon coral]

Yeah I remember that being a discussion about doing it at iirc ces or computex, one of the non ltt tech conventions and another part of it being Linus doesn't want to force them to stay at a stand being a safety supervisor for the byo screwdriver instead of enjoying the event and interacting with fans.

On another note, are there any plans for a true wan themed screwdriver with grey and black?

[candid fern]

I went to LTX that year and the BYO screwdriver line also tremendously long so even though I wanted to, I decided not to.

[tall birch]

Yay, my commuter bag is out for delivery

[sleek wraith]

Ouch, this could basically prevent me from ever ordering again in the future

Basically somewhere along the delivery chain, someone put in an incomplete delivery address, I assume it happened when the parcel went through Germany as they don't include building and door numbers in their addresses when delivering to apartment complexes whereas we do. This would deem the package undeliverable.

I managed to redirect the parcel to a local post office and pick it up this way. But "In case of non-delivery: treat as abandoned" is alarming to say tbe least. It would've been very difficult to get my money back as the parcel wouldn't have been returned to creator warehouse.

[neon coral]

Anyone know if there is any way to 'mod' a standard driver bit to the 20mm scale that fits in the bit storage cleanly? I love these ball style hex heads on Allen keys, and they make bits but they're too long for clean storage and they don't come in double sided formats :/

Based on appearance, just cutting at the tick mark would work, but I don't know what the best way to cut them is

[rocky wolf]

Damn already

[cerulean chasm]

Towels coming back?
Everything is out of stock except the white in 45x100cm

[bronze sentinel]

If thats the case, most likely not.

[reef tusk]

Mine to. It’s left CW and now in WA going through DHL lines. Will take a fortnight to hit my door

[rocky wolf]

Mine was dispatched on the 10th, DHL still says label created

[reef tusk]

Mine just said data received for a bit. I’m fine with that as I know nz is a small country that takes a weird route since apparently I don’t exist 😂

[ripe musk]

Man I wish they would bring back the CPU Pillow (Expensive version). I waited to pull the trigger cause it costed so much, but now I missed my shot and it's one of my biggest regrets

[foggy sonnet]

They’d not have given you any problem if you didn’t manage to get it, if it doesn’t clearly say delivered, they’ll do what they can to remedy it

Whether or not they ever got the merchandise back

[low maple]

ordered couch potato hoodie and long sleeve hooded tshirt!

any idea if the hold on shipping orders is still in place

[elder ermine]

Any indication from LMG/CW about when the socks might come out? Was looking to buy a Darn Tough pair but I can just wait a couple months if they're releasing soon-ish

[paper mirage]

I would expect a lot more than a couple of months is linus is still testing samples to find a company to work with

[elder ermine]

Oh okay

[pine bay]

there is not. This is all we know: https://youtube.com/watch?v=w6266JY9vdE&t=7056

[bold prism]

i didn't get around to authenticating earlier, but i wanted to add, did other people snag a commuter with the launch discount and get the message that it was coming from the second batch, i just thought that was weird.

[elder ermine]

oh nice thats cool

Appreciate the link 🫡

[pine bay]

makes sense, since iirc there was 17k discount codes available and the first wave only had around 10k backpacks

[bold prism]

@pine bay ah ok, i had gotten the understanding that the 17k WAS the first wave, i was just wondering if it was a mess up in youtube shopping or whatever it's called 😄

[pine bay]

nah the 1st wave definitely had around 10k backpacks

[bold ledge]

I got one for free

[bold ledge]

I take it you are probably near Seattle somewhere?

[warped ruin]

Man, I haven’t even gotten an email about it being ready to be sent 😭

[tall birch]

Aye

[foggy sonnet]

How?

[neon coral]

i love that support will send you a replacement precision if your bit holder unscrews even if you say you were going to try threadlocker, and even after saying it worked they still give you the replacement.

it's honestly scary how good they are.

[low maple]

yeaa they are super nice with the trust me bro, i feel like sometimes they could be taken advantage of, but atleast as of now , the community is awesome

[pine bay]

the retro pet cave is back
https://lttstore.com/products/pet-cave

[modest shoal]

No way!! I have a friend I wanted to get this for

[tall birch]

Thank you for the heads up! I've been wanting one of these after I missed the first round

[wooden pebble]

Anyone know why creator warehouse doesn’t do any Google ads on their products?

[paper mirage]

LMG has only just started any form of actual advertising.. so they may get there eventually.. but atm I think its just something they don't feel they need and aren't ready to dive into..

[tall birch]

stuff sells out anyway with just the wan show advertising lol

[pine bay]

they do

or at least they have in the past

[pine bay]

it happened on the wan show a few times:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFujQ4xvi9o&t=8893s
https://youtu.be/yFujQ4xvi9o?t=3034

[proper shell]

I've seen some Google ads for LTT products in the past. Both for the Screwdriver and the ABC Book/Shape Sorter.

[nimble pewter]

They're still in the sampling stage. So if you need socks just get some DTs or whatever for now

He opened a sample he hadn't seen yet live a few WANs ago, iirc he said it was the 2nd sample from this manufacturer or something

[elder ermine]

oh damn, long way to go then

[nimble pewter]

Yeah, even if they selected that sample for production it'd be months before it's on sale

[elder ermine]

I think i'll just wait for the LTT socks i guess, in hopes that they have some cool designs

Not a big fan of Darn Tough's basic designs

[nimble pewter]

Eh they're socks. You won't see the design most of the time anyway

Based on the sample I wouldn't expect much different designs anyway

The goal is good socks

[elder ermine]

Hmm I guess you're right. I guess the move now is to buy like 2 Darn Tough pairs rn and then 2 or more LTT pairs whenever they release

[nimble pewter]

I plan on buying 10 pairs to replace my constantly shrinking sock collection

I don't know where tf they go

But I don't have half the socks I bought a few years ago

[bold ledge]

Just buy darn tough socks

[low maple]

lmaoo, mine =are decent but they also tear often so i need to buy a few quality ones

[low maple]

i live in a rather hot space, are they bad for it ?

[bold ledge]

I really doubt linuses socks are going to come with a warranty

[low maple]

cuz i believe reading it was wool

[bold ledge]

Yep

[low maple]

he said prolly not lifetime replacement but idk

[low maple]

prolly not good to wear wool then

[bold ledge]

Are your current socks cotton?

[low maple]

yea

[bold ledge]

I've been wearing wool socks full time for over 5 years at this point,

I can't stand cotton ones anymore, merino socks breathe really well

[low maple]

temps in summer here easily hit 43c / 110f on a daily basis on average

[low maple]

yeaa my cotton ones are kinda not the best

[bold ledge]

These aren't like thick socks

[low maple]

oh thats nice then

maybe ill get a pair or 2 to try

[bold ledge]

Yeah, try a lightweight pair like these

https://darntough.com/collections/men/products/mens-merino-wool-run-no-show-tab-ultra-lightweight-running-socks

Or these

https://darntough.com/collections/men/products/mens-merino-wool-light-hiker-no-show-lightweight-hiking-socks?variant=44482509603002

I've straight up worn the same pair for a week before they start to smell where cotton ones would smell after a day

[bold ledge]

Luck at LTX

[low maple]

That's amazing

Alright thanks!

[nimble pewter]

I'm not american. I would have to ship them over here, and if I'm going to bother doing that I'll just wait so my socks can match the rest of my good clothes.

I still have enough socks

[thick mango]

I wear merino socks in the summer, they are good for it

you don't need to wear the heavy weight stuff

I bought a stealth hoodie, wore it for a couple months and the L in the LTT logo started to peel off

[peak halo]

Would have loved to carry my Commuter Backpack on board a budget flight I just had to book for next Thursday but alas, it’s not going to be here in time

[tribal phoenix]

Underwear with elijah on it when?

[patent agate]

Hey all! Quick question, if I placed an order that had some products in stock but also the commuter backpack, the entire order will be shipped when it's my wave's turn for the backpack, right?

[low maple]

if its a flat sticker kind of thing on it, u can put a piece of parchment or baking paper on top of it, and then iron that area for like a few seconds

[low maple]

Ty! So I can relax and not expect my order to be fulfilled before my turn (wave 2)

[low maple]

haha yeaa, i placed another order yesterday. deskmat, couch potato hoodie and Long Sleeve Hooded T-shirt

[astral steeple]

Anyone got their commuter backpack? Care to do a quick review

[reef tusk]

No one is likely to have theirs yet. They are currently with the shipping company.

I would ask at the end of the month

Here’s mine.

[foggy sonnet]

Is packback a joke I missed or like a different local way of saying backpack? I keep seeing people say it

[foggy sonnet]

I’m sure some people in US/CAN will have theirs within a day or two, being that some shipped around 5 days ago

[pine bay]

i know in elementary school there was a not small number of students who legit though backpacks were called packbacks for some reason, but I havent heard anyone call it since then so I always assumed it was just them mishearing other people saying backpack

[astral steeple]

My friend is getting theirs today. So I'm guessting at least some people must have them.

[astral steeple]

typo at least for me

[nova quail]

[lyric abyss]

🥲 still my last notif

[copper moat]

Oh

[pine bay]

you might be in the later part of that wave. I assume they are shipping earlier orders first

after all, it isnt january 17th quite yet 😄

[nova quail]

where u at dude

[lyric abyss]

yea I figured, i’m not mad lol wasn’t expecting it til early feb in my head

[nova quail]

but for me it's 16th already

[lyric abyss]

Middle of the states

[nova quail]

17th seems prank

[pine bay]

im sure it'll ship by jan 17th (or they will send you an update if not)

US shipping usually takes 7-12 days from the time the label is created

[nova quail]

i wonder how many days it usually takes for purchases within US, just curious

[lyric abyss]

yup, and with the snow i expect delays

I have 0 need for it personally, just gonna sit on a shelf til I travel later this year

I just knew i would end up with one eventually so $30 off seemed nice

[nova quail]

damn i want it so much, hope get it before new year

[pine bay]

what wave are you in?

[nova quail]

1

like you said

[pine bay]

nvm just looked, your order is alraedy created

[nova quail]

i'm thinking end of the month

[warped ruin]

I’d really like to have my commuter when my semester starts next Tuesday, but still no shipping notif 😢

[low maple]

Normally it has reached me 5 to 7 days after my order mainly cuz it was dispatched the next day

[snow stone]

I got mine today

[modest shoal]

How does it smell? What does it taste like?

[echo prairie]

dead pixel desk pad is back (only 14 are available though)
https://lttstore.com/products/dead-pixel-desk-pad

i assume theyre just clearing out some leftover items

[green holly]

Probably found some during the inventory audit

[pine bay]

i didnt think of that. that seems likely

a lot of low quantities of stuff are being restocked right now

[paper mirage]

Or had some set aside that they are releasing

[pine bay]

shirts, scrunchies, towels

[paper mirage]

I mean if I was LMG I'd keep a stockpile of old limited run stuff to be able to give away, replace, etc..

[tall birch]

Damn, the day after I ordered my retro pet cave

[digital ravine]

ltt is shipping out of sumner, wa instead of Blaine wa now? interesting

[bold ledge]

The warehouse is located in Canada, they just truck the orders across to the US

Because Canada post expensive af

[digital ravine]

yea, i'm just saying my orders usually come into Blaine first, and these ones are coming to sumner lol

[low maple]

its wizmo that prolly moved

a lot of the black tshirts are back too

[low maple]

i feel so bad cuz i placed another order yesterday

[modest shoal]

This guy tshirts

I’m patiently but impatiently waiting for more lanky tees

[low maple]

according to whenplane there were only a few left for some of em

what？you already got it

[reef tusk]

Oh i am counting down the days to get mine

[rocky wolf]

NICE

[ornate moon]

Damn

[reef tusk]

Don’t leave us hanging, initial thoughts?

[rocky wolf]

He left us hanging

[wooden pebble]

ahh, cool. I just don't see the google shopping ads, only the in page ads, which are much more predatory but less useful too

[subtle plinth]

I’m so excited

[rocky wolf]

Give us a review when you get it

[subtle plinth]

🫡

[peak halo]

I do hope DHL is airshipping my Commuter so I’ll find out about customs early next week, unlikely it’ll arrive in time for Tuesday though

[rocky wolf]

Whats the latest update on yours?

This is mine

[peak halo]

Processed at Whittier yesterday

[rocky wolf]

Lucky

[peak halo]

Not so much, I have a flight to catch on Thursday so it won’t make it by then

[nimble pewter]

So it may still sit there for a week before flying to Germany and being thrown around there for a week before going to wherever you are

Unless it gets cosigned with dai or whoever then it'll go straight from Whittier to them

[peak halo]

It’s been a while since any of my orders went through Germany, most of my recent orders went straight from Whittier to London Heathrow and on from there

[rocky wolf]

Yeah same

They don’t do a midstop in Germany

[silent gazelle]

i'd like them to make an ltt messenger/laptop tech bag!

[silent gazelle]

when was this a thing?!

[nimble pewter]

Someone hasn't been paying attention

@reef tusk I was doing this thing called sleeping

[ornate moon]

so if i were to guess probably at least 3 more weeks till i get it lol

[latent lark]

Just got the commuter backpack, thank you Linus for including not one but TWO free snacks already in the bag

[patent pebble]

Real

[molten wind]

Those taste like crap and give me dry mouth!

[rocky wolf]

You forgot to add sugar

[rough spindle]

Did you forget to take off the paper? The candy inside is delicious

[fleet shell]

Just out of curiosity, how are people already getting the commuter backpack? Mine says back order til tomorrow

[bold ledge]

This pleases me

[rocky wolf]

They don’t all ship same day. They’ve started shipping a few since last Friday

[patent pebble]

Swan you got yours????

Damnnn

[fleet shell]

Ohh, I’m hoping to get mine before I got back to college on the 20th 🙏

[bold ledge]

Probably depends where in wave 1 you are and where geographically you are. I was pretty early in wave 1 and I'm only about 400 miles from their warehouse so it only took 2 days to get to me (shipped UPS ground for me)

[fleet shell]

I ordered pretty early, maybe 2 hours after the announcement on yt. But, I live in a pretty rural place so it might be a hot minute for me

[bold ledge]

How far away from Vancouver BC is the biggest issue assuming they are shipping a lot of them UPS ground

[fleet shell]

According to google, 2500 lol

[unkempt bramble]

For those who’ve gotten the commuter backpack, how is it for books? How many hardcovers can you fit?

[reef tusk]

What’s…. Sleeping 😂

[patent pebble]

See, I made the horrible choice to not eat the shipping cost of the floatplane shirt ordered separately, and ordered the shirt with the bag. Wave 1 bag rip

[wooden lion]

i've been unable to sign up for the notifications for the modmat... i never get the confirmation email to inbox nor to spam.. i've been trying on and off for days

[pine bay]

i just tried it with a new email and it worked. Maybe you already signed up for the notif and forgot?

[azure stratus]

What is the order number range for the recent shipments? I am around 1015XXX

[wooden lion]

hopefully that's the case. the confirmation emails don't say what you were confirming for, so I can't tell in my history

[pine bay]

you can try using the + alias to give it a "new" email

[azure stratus]

Never mind 😞

[molten prawn]

^ me about to type "Backpack delay 😭"

[bold ledge]

I'm 1011xxx and I have mine

[warped ruin]

God dammit. I guess the Port of Vancouver is and will probably always be a complete shitshow

[paper mirage]

I mean, to be fair, this seems to hold true with most ports

[patent pebble]

oh no my wave 1 backpack was delayed by the port and totally not by me pairing it with the floatplane shirt

[paper mirage]

Well mine is on the move, but its moving via Canada Post, so maybe next week it'll show..

[patent pebble]

wait, i can turn this around

my floatplane shirt was delayed by the commuter backpack!

[molten prawn]

same lol

[paper mirage]

Maybe longer.. Canada Post had it in their hands for like 3 days now, hasn't even made it out of BC 😐

[molten prawn]

I'm curious if that is in fact the true issue, if people are already receiving them 🤔

(probably not and they just already got some of the wave 1 shipment)

[nova quail]

wait, you got your commuter already yet still have the delay notice?

[pine bay]

weirdly they changed the current backorder notice to febuary 24th, then changed it back to the 14th

[lyric abyss]

ordered separately but seem like i might get my shirt first now lol

[sinful night]

feb 10...

[lime fossil]

sadness, wave 1 delayed to feb 3, 2 week delay is oof

[tall birch]

my retro pet cave is already gonna be here tomorrow

someone at fulfillment must love me lmao

[pine bay]

wow already?

do you live next door to their wherehouse or something 😄

[reef tusk]

I’m not surprised. Mines taking longer to process compared to previous packages.

[night arch]

my commuter backpack is supposed to arrive friday.

[reef tusk]

I have no eta at all

Just that it’s currently proceed at DHL WA

Looking forward to having back straps that don’t cut into my back

[bold ledge]

I bought a really early one as well as a second one that's in wave 2

[patent agate]

commuter backpack delayed.
Good thing I only need that order to arrive by summer/fall for a trip

[paper shuttle]

now i gotta wait longer for the screwdriver too

[bold ledge]

I'm packing for a 2.5 day trip in my commuter bag starting later today, will be interesting to see how it goes.

[dusk hemlock]

It's not just the ports causing delays.... My commuter bag got to my local UPS depot last night, within a couple of hours I had a delayed message. My wife has been waiting for a package from them that was supposed to be delivered on Tuesday, so at this point I'm expecting to see my bag sometime in the middle of next week at the earliest.

[subtle plinth]

Backpack got delivered

[rocky wolf]

Thoughts?

@peak halo have you got your 2nd tracking number yet?

Mines been processed at whittier and iv got a DP Welt Paket tracking number for Germany

[peak halo]

I got a “departed local distribution center” message but still somewhere between Whittier and the UK

[subtle plinth]

I’m not home right now, but I’ll express my thoughts when I get home

[peak halo]

I am leaving the UK on Thursday 😭

[neon nexus]

After 2+ weeks of ups sitting in one spot it has arrived

But now I gotta move all of my monitors to replace the northern lights one

[night arch]

Got commuter backpack. It's SO MUCH lighter than the regular backpack. It's like a feather.

[peak halo]

Where will the northern lights pad go?

[paper mirage]

On the desk, one would hope 😉

[night arch]

hey i cant find the hidden airtag pocket on the commuter backpack. im even looking at the picture on lttstore. what am i missing?

[soft siren]

I don't have the commuter myself, but I believe this is supposed to be it

[rocky wolf]

That proves its an excellent place to put it

[night arch]

Oh that’s not what the website depicts.

[soft siren]

I mean, it is

But easier to see where in the zoomed out photo

[night arch]

I’m not in front of the pack rt now I’ll look later

[night arch]

Ooooh it’s misleading I thought that was the back of that section but it’s the top

[subtle plinth]

They delivered it to the wrong house

Luckily they posted about it in the town Facebook group

Trying to get in contact with them rn

[ornate moon]

You can paste the same tracking number into parcelforce and it should work (if parcelforce has been picked as the UK delivery carrier)

[pine bay]

that looks better than the airtag pocket for the OG backpack. I ended up hiding my airtag somewhere else because i didnt think it was hidden enough

[rocky wolf]

Oh that’s helpful thanks. All my other LTT orders have been with evri

So seeing something different this time was a suprise

[ornate moon]

Yeah those must've not come in a big box then

[rocky wolf]

But thats probably cause of the value of this order exceeding the customs free threshold

[ornate moon]

And yeah I don't think evris parcel insurance is that high either

[rocky wolf]

My black Friday order came in a corsair box which was quite big so not sure. Weight is around the same too

[ornate moon]

Parcelforce probably offers higher compensation for lost orders

I remember Evri offering peanuts last time I used them

[rocky wolf]

Yh thats probably it

[soft siren]

I also have the issue where the pocket itself is only really sized for the airtag, so the samsung smarttag I have sticks out of the "hidden" pocket, making it a bit useless

[pine bay]

oof

[soft siren]

It'd be nice if they took into consideration other smart tags and not just airtags

[paper mirage]

A lot of them are around the same size, and the larger the pocket the less hidden it is..

Plus end of the day Airtags are a huge market share, especially among people spending this much on a backpack

[nimble pewter]

As someone that spent a lot on the backpack, I'd never buy an apple product

If I bought apple products I wouldn't have money for a good bag.

[subtle plinth]

Backpack acquired

[smoky scarab]

The pictures on the website really don’t do the commuter justice on showing how much smaller it is than the OG. It is immediately noticeably smaller and it’s nice

[bold ledge]

Going on 3 night/2 day trip, only packing commuter backpack, will report how it goes

[clever sable]

I moved my EDC and PD tech bag into the Commuter this afternoon. Lots of room in bag of holding still. Thought there would be a little more room in laptop compartment, but more than expected in front makes up for it. Happy so far.

Hello fellow LTT nerds!

If anyone needs a storage solution for their LTT precision screwdriver check out this wall mount I remixed for the Honeycomb Storage wall. https://makerworld.com/en/models/1006162#profileId-984620

[molten prawn]

Looks like no from the store page, (they don't seem to have got to merch yet on WAN, though I haven't been live the whole time). Kinda annoying ngl, when I've collected most of their pins but already have a backpack (and a commuter). I aint that baller

[nimble pewter]

As a backpack owner I'd like to obtain the pin without buying another bag

I have the screwdriver pin

[paper mirage]

Let anyone who has the backpack order a pin as a pre-order, then order the number of extra pins needed..

Thats my suggestion

[tribal pivot]

Just got commuter backpack today. It was amazing. Also, I don’t notice this box said 3 of 30,000… does it mean I am the third person to order the LTT backpack?

[molten prawn]

It means they sent you the third backpack of the shipment of 30,000 (their initial order quantity as far as I'm aware). They come in in those boxes and get put in the warehouse like that, then they just grab them to fulfill orders. Order of received orders doesn't equal order of boxes shipped out.

[tribal pivot]

Ah, I see it.

[molten prawn]

So at the very least that's the 3rd one boxed at the factory of the initial production order 👍

[molten prawn]

we can only dream

[foggy sonnet]

I like this

I don’t mind paying for it even when new buyers are getting it free

Just want a chance

[molten prawn]

I'd buy it, I don't think they're gonna do it though.

[foggy sonnet]

Have they mentioned it on the show yet?

[rose bison]

Is clear screwdriver a thing?!

[foggy sonnet]

Yes they did about 45 mins ago, no mention of it being available standalone

[foggy sonnet]

It may come one day, it is something they’ve worked on, but thus far haven’t been able to get just right

[rose bison]

https://tenor.com/view/kevin-hart-kevin-hart-damn-gif-22709278

[foggy sonnet]

Someone give me a reason NOT to buy the pin and then sell on the backpack

Besides tying up $250 + Tax

For at least a few weeks

[rose bison]

Is there a used market for ltt merch?

[foggy sonnet]

Yes definitely

[stuck torrent]

I wouldn't put it past them to retroactively give pins to buyers unless theres been explicit confirmation they wont do that

[foggy sonnet]

I suppose I’ll give it a day or two and see if they say anything

[paper mirage]

They will say the day after the bundle comes down :p

[viscid shell]

I mean, you can clearly see from this photo that they clearly are a thing. 😏 🤣 But not, like, a thing you can buy... yet? Who knows.

[molten prawn]

I doubt they'll give pins to buyers. The backpack is still available standalone, they're seemingly doing a little gimmicky thing, probably for a limited time (they've mentioned the idea on WAN before). But it'd be nice if they'd sell them to those of us who already have backpacks.

I still wouldn't get my hopes up.

[opal hornet]

My backpack came with a Corsair keyboard and mouse which I'll gladly take over a pin lol

[molten prawn]

But have you considered collect the shiny?

https://tenor.com/205S.gif

[reef tusk]

they wanted to be but clear plastic is too brittle, they talked about it on WAN a few weeks ago

[rose bison]

Ah I see

[reef tusk]

it would be cool but i can see the issues with support would be

[molten prawn]

I think it was more than a few weeks ago

[molten prawn]

but definitely not coming soon for that reason ^

[wet garden]

I finally got my LTT backpack and as soon as I get it, they put up a Pin bonus for it .___. I hope they will consider giving it to people who just bought it.

Also, Where can I politely put in a wishlist for them to bring back the orange/black Wan show hoodies. I've always wanted one.

[keen meadow]

As in ordered? Or did it actually show up?

I'm still waiting for mine to ship

[wet garden]

I got my LTT backpack delivered. And saw they put up the pin bonus. I love this bag it's amazing. I kind of hope they will give the pin to people who just ordered one right before.

[unkempt bramble]

Hey—if you don’t mind my asking, how good would the backpack be for holding hardcover books? Considering getting one, but needa make sure it matches that use-case too

[near path]

I thought the modmat was launching yesterday 🤔

https://youtu.be/vXnjc5cX-Lo?t=1343

Pushed back to next week.

[smoky scarab]

Keep getting this error but when I try to remove stuff from my cart it literally will not remove. Anyone had this issue before?

[low maple]

Sometimes just delete the cookies and cache

[wet garden]

I actually think it would do really well. The material and structure of the backpack is way nicer then anything I've used. It comes in par with my high quality camera lens backpacks but for a bag of holding. This bag has good shape holding. There's plenty of room for textbooks in the front compartment. The shoulder weight distribution is really well thought out and does help with weight which textbooks are heavy so this is a good one for that as I have my bag maxed out for work and it's amazing.

[modest shoal]

God I love the memes

[bold ledge]

My backpack came with space inside of it to put stuff

[burnt marsh]

Happy ending!! I finally got a screwdriver! Support ended up sending me a normal one which is fine :)

[pine bay]

nicee. support w

[bold ledge]

I ended up emailing support today because i didn't get the replacement carabineers for the OG backpack

[devout urchin]

anyone else's dead skin cells accumulate in the LTT logo on the end capr of their screwdriver?

[unkempt bramble]

Good to know, thank you for the information! That’s for the regular backpack, not the commuter, right?

[wet garden]

Correct! The full size backpack. Honestly you could even put at least 1 text book in the back but the front is more favorable for big books.

[molten prawn]

To add though, the commuter is made of the same material and still has a pocket of holding, it's just a bit smaller. I'm not sure how many books you need to carry around, but it would definitely fit some. Detailed size specs are on the store page :)

[unkempt bramble]

I’d want it to hold like.. four books? Regular old hardcovers though, not necessarily textbooks

[bold ledge]

I have both, if you're talking regular hardbacks, you should be fine with either

[molten prawn]

I haven't recieved mine yet, so I can't speak for anything beyond product photos and the measurements on the site, but I'd guess that would fit in the commuter just fine.

[bold ledge]

The commuter does hold substantially less than the regular

[unkempt bramble]

Though the commuter is a more safe fit on an airplane

[bold ledge]

I would imagine so, my regular backpack is hard to get under most airplane seats

[unkempt bramble]

Okay, thanks! That’s not too much for the commuter bag?

[bold ledge]

I don't think so

[molten prawn]

The OG bag was designed to exactly fit under a plane seat. From my experience (primarily JetBlue) it's a snug fit when full, but lives up to that claim.

The commuter is smaller, and achieves that both by being designed differently (not holding it's shape the same way as the OG and whatnot), as well as being smaller, but it doesn't actually hold that much less surprisingly. According to the website it's 20L vs 25L. And there's decisions like removing the front pocket and having the organization in the pocket of holding which make the external size smaller while keeping potential storage as high as possible.

(any comments I'm making about design decisions are just things Linus has mentioned on WAN)

[ornate moon]

I cant wait for mine

But itll probably be at least another couple weeks till i actually get it

Maybe in feb

[molten prawn]

Delay email go brrr 😎

[ornate moon]

Rip

[bold ledge]

From my 3 days of having mine, my initial impression is it holds a lot less than the regular backpack

[lime fossil]

nope as my first step before using em was filling that in with nail polish

[mortal garnet]

hope you don't get hit with the double VATting that I got 💀

[mortal garnet]

how does one do that nicely, I'd assume there'll be uneven spill outside the LTT circle?

[lime fossil]

just add it and then wipe off the excess

[mortal garnet]

will steal gf's nail polish next time

[lime fossil]

highly recommend choosing a specific color you want and buying a few jars of it

[mortal garnet]

I see where you are going with that

[lime fossil]

all my stuff has a specific color and makes it easier to identify that its mine, very low odds someone else selected that exact color

[mortal garnet]

if only there's a matching service that can map my favourite flavours of hex colors into real world products involving colorimetry

[paper mirage]

Now I need to rewatch the ShortCircuit with Sarah unboxing the Pantone Plus Plastic chips, and watching Linus die a little inside..

[bold ledge]

I know LTT wanted to go stealth branding on the commuter backpack, frankly it's a little too plain for me

[tall birch]

Could put some pins or patches on it

||dbrand backpack wraps||

[rocky wolf]

Iv got a DHL german tracking number instead of parcel force for some reason

[paper mirage]

Ya I'm find with the stealth branding.. if I want to show it off, I can add my own stuff to it to make it stand out.. but its a pain when its too flashy and you want incognito..

[rocky wolf]

Same here

Its good for peace of mind that not everyone will realise im carrying a $150 backpack

[paper mirage]

They could do a variety of rain covers too from plain to flashy

[nimble pewter]

No because I clean my hands often and clean my things if they get even slightly dirty.

Don't be gross 🤢

[unkempt bramble]

14L internal on the commuter vs 25L internal on the original I think it was? Since external doesn’t matter too much with regard to holding capacity.. with the caveat that the water bottle holder on the inside of the regular backpack takes up space

[molten prawn]

It's a good thought, but the backpack market is already overflowing with expensive (and often overpriced) options in and above that range :/

[molten prawn]

20L is the only value in the product information section (or anywhere on the product page that I can see), which I now see in the description section they clarify is external. Not really a fan of that.

I didn't bother reading the description for product information when it has a dedicated section for product information, and the OG bag in the sizing guide section (doesn't exist on the commuter) lists "internal volume" and "external size", both in liters. I assumed from that "volume" would mean internal size, which personally I think is a more useful measure anyway. That's my mistake.

[coral barn]

on ltt store, theres a 60mmx60mm size, is that enough for both gpu and cpu? on a laptop. for ptm7950

[bold ledge]

60*60 mm is absolutely massive for the bare dies of a CPU and GPU

In a laptop

[coral barn]

im sorry i dont understand what bare dies is

[bold ledge]

In a normal desktop CPU, the metal thing on the left would be sitting on top of the CPU (that's the heat spreader),

The shiny thing on the left is the bare die or the actual CPU that produces heat, laptops don't have the metal part because generally they don't get taken apart by the end user

[coral barn]

okay so will the 60x60mm for the ptm7950 will fit both the cpu and the gpu? my laptop model is ga401qm

@bold ledge

[nimble pewter]

Not to sound mean but if you have to ask questions like that you probably shouldn't be doing this work yourself on a relatively expensive laptop

[stuck torrent]

To answer the question, the exposed die for intel chips is something on the order of 200mm^2, in contrast with the 3600mm^2 you'd be getting from the 60x60 sheet. I've never disassembled a gpu, but they're usually a bit bigger as I understand it but still same order of magnitude, so you're still gonna have loads.

[molten prawn]

To be fair, you have to do everything for the first time once. This is certainly the right place for people who find repasting a laptop interesting. And while I'm sure the information about die sizes for everything they need to paste exists somewhere, it's probably not as easy to find as most specs. If you don't wanna open the laptop before starting it might be hard to estimate your first time around.

[pine bay]

yes, that is where ltt collects the dna to sell to data brokers of course

[peak halo]

Thanks to our sponsor, 23andMe /s

For child labor

[reef tusk]

Just in, Linus opens a potato farm and uses slave labor.

[molten prawn]

My god, it’s been right in front of us this whole time, how could we have been such fools!?

[reef tusk]

theres even a video full of proof!

[modest shoal]

He even makes them wear potato sacks

[molten prawn]

And his fans have even started wearing them! I think we’ve uncovered a cult.
