the most effective mosquito deterrent is a simple motorized fan, they're too weak to fly against the breeze. or you could pay 20x as much for some poo poo with lasers that probably won't even work reliably
that doesnt thin out the population tho which is the stated goal of the laser thingy. to be fair IV took some flak for claiming it was intended for africa since most of africa doesnt have reliable electricity but a mosquito killing laser turret on top of my house sure would make the summers more tolerable

yeah they're a thing and they're modified with a gene that makes them incapable of carrying malaria. it's a dominant gene too so once you let a handful loose in the population it's only a matter of time until it spreads and malaria disappears since it can only spread via mosquito with the recessive gene

we haven't released them into the wild yet for :ohdear: reasons which is why i said it's only a matter of time until a mad scientist does it. literally all you need is a couple jars of the fuckers and a 'oh woopsy just let them loose oh well' and nature takes care of the rest

kirk was last sighted running down the las vegas strip clothed only in hundreds of attendee badges and holding a curiously large laptop

quote:

Two unidentified prototypes were stolen from Razer’s booth Sunday night, Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan wrote on Facebook early this morning.

He said that the company has filed a police report and is working both with show management and law enforcement to track down the thief.

He didn’t say which of the prototypes were stolen. The company showed off two new devices this year: a laptop with three screens that automatically pop into place when opened and a special projector that extends the lights and looks of a video game to an entire room.

While no more details were offered, Tan did raise the possibility of this being a case of industrial espionage.

“At Razer, we play hard and we play fair,” he wrote on the Facebook post. “Our teams worked months on end to conceptualize and develop these units and we pride ourselves in pushing the envelope to deliver the latest and greatest.

“We treat theft/larceny, and if relevant to this case, industrial espionage, very seriously – it is cheating, and cheating doesn’t sit well with us. Penalties for such crimes are grievous and anyone who would do this clearly isn’t very smart.”

Tan said that if anyone has any information about the thefts to reach out to the company at legal@razerzone.com.
