    I use windows at work, I have local admin which removed a lot of friction for a more technical user.

    But the difference between my home machines (18 years Linux) and my work machine is friction. Windows makes things hard, it is always a few extra clicks or a stupid reg key change.

    E.g. recently wanted my full right click menu back on win11, no nice setting option. Go edit this unnamed registry key, it seemed so janky in a modern os.

    I’m a long time Mint user, jumped around a fair few distros but mint works well for me. It is so polished compared to windows, it seems crazy it is the free one.






  • The way to eliminate the risk is a lot more complex tracking wise but worth it for the risk reduction.

    Effectively using spread focus tracking; multiple lower powered lasers provide the power to destroy the mosquito but no single laser has enough energy to damage your eye.

    It would require extremely accurate positioning and pointing of the lasers and most likely two cameras for the tracking to get accurate distance to target. I thought of this years ago…but never really cared enough, I live in an area with no mosquito issues.
