They got to weasel out of admitting wrong doing as part of the settlement?
What a joke
That’s how it goes all too often with these settlements, sadly. Remember when Fox News got to settle with Dominion over the fact that they knowingly pushed election fraud claims that they privately knew to be false? They just paid their fine and went right back to business as usual.
Well at least Tucker was fired over it?
Sometimes in chess you sacrifice a pawn
Oh wow, Razer was selling masks? Seriously? That’s wild, I must’ve missed that completely. What’s even wilder is that a bunch of people apparently decided that their best option for respiratory filters is, of all things, a gaming company. And one with a shaky QC history at that.
I was very interested in buying one; the details looked OK, and it wasn’t a use-once product like those flimsy blue face masks. This was early on when no end was in sight so it seemed like a decent move, and was at least interesting visually.
I ended up not buying one since they took forever from announcement to actual public sale, and I’d talked myself out of it.
I think i saw the masks on display inside one of the casino lobbies in Vegas when I was there last year. It looked “fine” as an accessory unit, too tacky for most people, but i didnt think it was advertised as an N95.
I got mine from MIRA. Though now i am getting their end of the world news letter…
Good thing I’ve already found a replacement.
Strolling into the supermarket like whadup.
Well the straps say LOVE LOVE
I think you could have worn this to a supermarket during a pandemic and no one would have been startled
The “LOVE LOVE” skullfuck handles are a nice touch.

They actually just meant it was suitable for use with the Nokia N95 phone.
Damn that was my favourite phone. sigh ‘Twas a simpler time.
Cost of doing business
Note that n95 is the minimum grade for biohazard and industrial work. It meams it’ll get large particulates (like corona viruses) but not small ones and aerosolized oil (such as spray paint) will fuck your mask.
Fuck up your disposable fabric mask?
Yes, as in render it unable to filter air, either by blocking it, or by punching holes in it that admit larger particles.
I remember making fun of it in some discord, imagine spending so much r&d into some RGB gadget instead of contributing to research during COVID, the only certificates they had were for electrical products, none for health stuff
This is from the E3 (or whatever that events name was) announcement
So…do we have reusable respirators that block >=95% of particles 0.3 microns in size yet??
Yeah, there are plenty of P3 and N95 filters for reusable respirators, here are some for the 3M 6000 mask series:
Don’t those use disposal filters?
So?
You still reuse the respirator
Mate there’s no such thing as washable healthcare items unless it can survive an autoclave lmao
(In the context of infection prevention and sterilization)
That still uses disposable filters. So maybe it reduces the amount of waste by 10%?
Do we have one that has reusable filters? I mean a filter you can use for at least 10 years.
I mean, use for 10 years by what metric? A woodworker is gonna block up that filter in a few months, someone who works in a hospice might get a few years, and triage nurses might burn through them in half that simply due to moving fast. Also I think 10 years might be a bit of a stretch in general, I’ve never known a mask filter to last that long in any model I’ve used
I’m referring to the pandemic. Use for 10 years by a nurse breathing average hospital air 40 hours per week.
I want something washable, not disposable.
The 3m 6035 filter only has a replacement schedule for infection control reasons, implying the outside may become too contaminated.
It was the original pandemic filter (there is a model up that does organic vapours too), marketed as being used for at least one pandemic wave.
No filter will last 10 years of daily use, at some point even your washable car filters or cleanable air purifier filters clog up and break down. But these are very long lasting for what they do, and I can see someone being able to stretch them out to one every six months, if in a hospital setting.

Create a copper/silver mesh that is 3 micron and breath to your heats content.
*now for only $199,999.95!
Does something like that exist?
X to doubt
“It was never our intention to mislead people.”
Then why make false claims?
Naomi Wu was right.
RIP
They should be fined for still being stuck in that awful 90s aesthetic after all this time.
I’ll take “Product Categories That SHOULD NEVER EXIST” for $1000 Alex!
The fact it uses clear plastic for the mouth has to be a crime, surely.
The original point was to make it easier to understand people as you could actually see their mouth. A problem sure, but it solution it wasn’t.
Just as much a crime as apple vision pro with their LED eyes
Could you imagine a world in which both products catch on? I shudder just to think about it
Covid? I thought gamers were rising up!
