  • Directed Energy Weapons and your computer

    From CtrlAltDel@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jun 15 21:53:05 2025
    Do any of you use the color blue to prevent DEW attacks on your computer?
    A lot of people paint the roofs of their homes blue because the color blue
    is resistant to fire. Nothing blue ever burns, ever. The color blue also prevents the space lasers from hitting your home in the first place,
    because blue reflects the lasers back up into space and kills the
    attackers.

    So, in that vein, I use blue themes for everything in my Linux Mint setup. Desktop, application, icon, etc... themes are all blue. That way, if the aliens do attack again like they did in Lahaina and the Pacific Palisades,
    my computer likely will not be affected.

    What precautions do all of you take to protect the most important thing in
    your lives, your computer?

    Umm, what kind of weapon doesn’t involve some form of “directed energy”?

    Bombs?

    Right, but I'm specifically talking about the space lasers from illegal
    aliens in space or from nefarious government agencies.

    Nope. The correct answer is chemical weapons.

    Chemical weapons do not direct energy toward tissue displacement
    or disaggregation or even tissue oxidation (as with a flame thrower).
    Rather they work as physiological poisons. They interfere with or inhibit vital chemical processes.

    Explosives contain energy. And things like bomb fragmentation design,
    shaped charges, etc .. are means of directing that energy to be other
    than uniformly hemispherical.

    Granted, its not what the OP was trolling about, but their claims were
    pretty much totally wrong anyway.

    I mean, I have a blue light filter on my computer.

    Might be better to paint the computer box blue, preferably the United
    Nations shade of blue (#5b92e5), if you have a desktop computer.

    If using a laptop, I suppose you could paint it also but it may interfere
    with the air circulation of the machine. A better option here would
    probably be to just turn it off after usage and store it in a blue bag. Hopefully it doesn't get struck by space lasers while you are actually
    using it.
