  • Same here!

    I had to get rid of the 2nd edition one year ago because of a contact/short issue. :(

    So useful to know who was speaking in mumble/teamspeak when I had only one screen…

    And the shortcut keys were useful at the time (I don’t have much use for them now).

    Edit: I’ve seen the video and yes, I forgot how CLEAR the software was. It was extremely easy to set, set the shortcuts to work as you wanted.

    The current new logitec soft/driver is an utter shit, buggy, extremely confusing (I gave up on trying to setup the backlight how I want it because how stupidly confusing the UI is) and crashing all the time.





  • Long story short: bacteriophage are extremely difficult to fit in the current legal/regulatory framework of the medical/pharma world/system.

    Bacteriophage are not stable compounds such as chemical molecules (antibiotics, etc…). They evolve and change, adapting to bacterial evolution (or just spontaneously because we’re talking about organisms, who sometimes just changes). It may be an advantage from a efficacity point of view, buts it’s a big no-no from a regulation point of view.

    This makes is harder to have real trials (even if things progress slowly).

    Then you have all the biological questions about injecting live virus in an patient and the risk of immune response.

    Then you have the complexity of both producing phages in a stable manner (remember: these fuckers have a tendcy to “evolve” on their own) as well as shipping them (require refrigeration all the way, contrary to antibiotic pills).

    Source: bacteriophage were the subject of my master thesis, even if it was a while ago.
