That’s really subjective.

The nature of how everyone ended up here means we’re a lot more outspoken and willing to contribute than the average internet user.

At worst though, it should be pulling in as little air as when on low, not less.

Suggestion: Have an auto / bot created top level comment pinned on each post, and all joke comments should be left as children of that TLC. That way those who aren’t interested in bad humour can minimise / block it, and the clowns can clown away.

I applaud you for doing your best to back up your arguments

There’s only so much anonymity that is possible when you’re dealing with public corporations.

Don’t remember that char, can you refresh my memory (I am fully aware of the irony given the topic under discussion)

There’s 2 versions released this decade, which are you referring to?

See the linked article elsewhere in this post, they had to wear safety goggles around it when it was in use.

MFW I hook up a Factorio spaghetti section to inputs and it works the first time.

@Maalus@lemmy.world:

You cannot scale it. It is dangerous. It is expensive to keep running / maintained.

Your source:

for the demonstration, I had to wear protective goggles since that type of laser is not safe for your eyes; And no one has yet worked out how to make the device cheap enough to be useful in the places it is most needed, places where most people’s mosquito-defense system consists of sleeping under nets every night.

You were saying?

But despite Myhrvold’s enthusiasm, the Photonic Fence hasn’t been all that easy to actually build. It’s taken years of development to figure out how to continuously track and identify a specific type of insect and then dispatch it safely and efficiently. For instance, for the demonstration, I had to wear protective goggles since that type of laser is not safe for your eyes; I was assured that when it’s market-ready, the laser they deploy will not potentially blind human passersby. And no one has yet worked out how to make the device cheap enough to be useful in the places it is most needed, places where most people’s mosquito-defense system consists of sleeping under nets every night.

You mean the patent on an item where they haven’t figured out how to make it work yet without blinding its users? Yeah, it’s definitely patent trolls and not user safety /s

Source?

Probably haven’t solved the issue of friendly fire, i.e. potentially blinding users.

They totally would, until they disagreed with a single one of his policies.
