I recently realized we haven't done a community Q+A in.... pretty much ever. We used to do Q+A for 19+ patrons; but now we do a monthly podcast for that tier. Since that change, the Q+A has fallen by the wayside entirely. So what better way to start the new year then by answering the questions from everyone- patrons and regular subscribers alike?!
Wendell The L1 Three+quakecon 2018?
Obligatory…plans for 2018, still going to penguicon? I’m debating whether to or not because of all the pick your pronoun stuff from last year.
Also wolfleben and Big Al mods possibility?
Gonna add things as I think of them
What phones do you guys use? What would you look for in a phone? Do you root? LineageOS? Custom ROM written in Python on a cold winter’s day?
SECOND ONE: Are you guys 1337 haxx0rz? Any recommendations on certifications? Looking to do an OSWP this year (in the summer, after I finish my bachelor) and I’d love to know your opinion (or anyone else’s) on the matter and applicability of the cert.
This month I’ll be changing my 10-year old PC to a shiny new one based on Ryzen 1700, B350, 16G 3200 DDR4 and GTX 1080. Now I’m not much of a gamer, but given the specs, that’s one of the ideas. Windows is fine and all, but with this move I also plan to move to Linux… So basically the idea is to run as much games natively (via Steam) as possible. But, since not all games will do that (say Fallout 4), I’m left with basically two options Wine and VM (don’t want to tinker with passthrough). So the question is, have you played with gaming on a VM (vmware) and what can I expect, what to look out for? Oh and I plan to do it (plans can change) on a Debian / MATE GUI (just mentioning it since you seem to prefer Fedora for this)
Just to throw it out there as the obvious thing, The Break Up, and possibly covering some accusations on Qain?
Will we be getting ryzen laptop reviews?
Also I had a topic on the forum, is it possible to get System76 or other Linux specific vendor reviews?
Thanks for all the hardwork, love the videos.
How many computers do each of you own.
How many monitors? Wendell? 
Favourite programming language?
Favourite game of 2017, and which game(s) are you looking forward to in 2018?
Wendell have you ever considered to move away from Youtube and create your own video platform since you have the SKILLZ.
What tools do you guys use to make your content? No trade secrets required 
Just curious to know if you guys use Adobe on Mac or Windows, or FOSS tools on Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.
What is your favorite platform and environment combo for development, designing, and working?
Just a few…
As said previously, where do you see L1T in the next 1/5/10 years?
What is your guys least favorite interview question and why?
What is your most exciting personal project?
Wanna come to Quakecon? 
Love the great work with gpu passthrough, but also got any project/videos planned which are more server/networking oriented? (Like the pfsense and nextcloud guides?)
I’d love to see that. Also, any privacy hardware reviews! Libreboot how-to narrated by L1T would be CASH.
Any plans for another 10Gig Ethernet video ? Now that we have cheap 10Gig Ethernet (RJ45) cards available in the market, any plan to review ?
Can you recommend good 10G managed switch for home office (non-sfp. rj45 only) at a reasonable price ( maybe 2/4 10Gig ports and rest 4/6 1Gig ). I am currently using link aggregation with 2 port Gigabit Ethernet on two machines. I would like to upgrade to 10G, also want to get rid of cable clutter.
Do you think we will see any 10G products announced on CES ?
I think the beauty of the Hayes BBs retrospective is uncomparable, the grinding sweat and tears of hardware pass-through is far beyond any ‘hat’s-off’ and deserving of some award that must be granted at some point. These accomplishments already set you apart from the rest and deservedly so. Let’s look forward to … hmmm… something new. I walk up to a powered off machine, flip the power switch, and I am exactly were I shut down. Exactly and precisely, all programs, tabs, variables, syncs, from when the power was cut. Now think, NVMe, NVDIMM, and the progression of persistent memory.
The end of boot …
There are programming language challenges that are in the works. Let’s presume those small hurdles will be cleared … so dream on …
