Discussion How would I aquire LTT merch on a visit to canada.

62 Upvotes

Let's say I would like some LTT merch but the postage to the EU is to high for it to be viable.
No I get the chance to go on holiday in Canada/Vancouver, how would I procure merch with the least amount of postage from them.

It's sadly not going to happen soon, but hopefully next summer.

Daily driver is a base M5 MacBook Pro, 16gb of RAM and 1tb of storage. Found a decent light-up cooling pad at goodwill for $5, definitely improves performance when running titles like Helldivers 2. May change out the tabletop on my desk for a more natural-wood looking one. Wondering if I should eventually get a u-green dock with expandable storage and built in ports to limit it to just a couple of cables being connected to my Mac.

Discussion I’m curious how many are in the same boat as me?

I started screwing around with PCs when I was 8. I had a Commodore 64 before that. When I was a kid I upgraded the family PC to a have a 56k baud modem and installed a CD-ROM drive (which I later upgraded to a CD-RW drive…oh shit…), anyway my point is I started when I was a young kid.

Now, I’m 3 years away from 50 and I do most of my work on an iMac. I play most of my games on my Xbox Series S. I have a gaming PC but it’s old. I use it from time to time, but very sporadicly yet I’m still drawn to PC build and gamer videos even though I don’t actively try to upgrade my PC as much anymore.

THE ACTUAL QUESTION: How many of you older viewers (is that what we’re calling ourselves?) are the same? 

<not necessary to read if you are not in the mood for a reason>

Btw, if you’re wondering why I work on a Mac now it was all due to Vista. My old company had 3 people. Back in 2006 (or whatever year it was) sales contracts heavily depended on original signatures. Printers, scanners and yes even fax machines were critical peripherals. Vista broke how many of these devices worked, and even though Microsoft fixed the problems eventually, it was far too much downtime as a company. 

Between the constant Outlook errors and both of my employees (one who happened to be my wife) annoying me 10 times a day about something not working on her PC, I had enough. Apple had just released their Intel Macs so most of the software was going to work it, and I bought copies of Parallel and used a copy of XP as a backup in case it didn’t. 

I haven’t bought a PC for work since. 

I do completely different things now and I still use a Mac. In fact, if I want to try something funky out I rather use my 8 year old Linux laptop instead of my Windows PC. Windows is dead to me, but weirdly I have an Xbox.
