Only just hearing about LTT Labs now, but it sounds like a great idea.
And i see no problem with LTT and their approach to hardware, it is entertaining but make no mistake, that they know what they are talking about.
But let's see what LTT is up to.
Given the level of respect he's shown Cuttress in the past and the timing, combined with how excited he's been on WAN Show about the person he was finalizing a deal to hire to lead these efforts, there's probably a decent chance Cuttress is the hire. That's all speculation at this point, though.
