NEW FEBRUARY 2019 EDITION

Ask us whatever you like (within reason!). Questions like:

  • Why does Wendell call himself a computer janitor?
  • Does Krista’s arm hurt carrying that giant iPad around all day?
  • Will Ryan ever get a kitty cat?

The only thing we ask you to avoid is specific troubleshooting questions: while it’s nice that you value our opinions on your upcoming build or tech support issue, the Q+A video is probably not the best time for it (and we promise the forum community is happy to provide input if you post there).

We will be filming this next week (Feb 20). Post your questions in the comments below or send them to us @Level1Techs on Twitter.

Thanks!

  • How often does Krista go into the server closet?

There was that one video where she swapped out Wendell’s amd64 box for the Cavium, so she’s been there are least once. Does she actually know her way around in there, or was that for the shoot?

  • If yes, how’s her cable management?

  • What breed of cat does Ryan want?

Will Wendel and Ryan be in the wedding party? Can we get a version of drunk news from the reception? Will Ryan still be drinking alone at the reception?

With the latest mess on YouTube (Vox taking down Lyle’s video for the f*** of it) on top of all the monetization issues how seriously are you guys going to be looking at Floatplane as it matures? Is there a golden feature you would need to switch primary content to FP (still put videos there but not really care whether they are monetized or not)?

what are your ages ?
and what is your level of education ? And would you have done anything different (in terms of type of education and/or form) if you had to do it over again in 2019 ?
what car does Ryan drive ? and how many guns does he have in his compound ? :smiley:

and of course the biggest question. How big is Wendell’s StarTrek collection ? (also let Christa and Ryan answer part of this because we will never hear the full truth from Wendell)
