Looking through the poppies in my garden towards my old #cabin in the mountains of #Humboldt, #California.
These were wonderful times... Before the fires of the #August_Complex.
This is one of my fav photos of my old home in the serene isolation of #nature.
I had a few wonderful years here, before having to #evacuate to a world consumed by fear and uncertainty amidst the calamity of the global #Wuhan pandemic.
#Evacuation day - orders were actually issued two days beforehand but I was only alerted about an hour before taking this pic and others.
My truck is fire engine red, and as such it was almost invisible. You can see that inside my cabin the air is clear (through the window), while outside the air is the color of Satan.
The #August_Complex was swift and deadly, destroying most everything in its path.
I opened the chicken coop and bade them good luck & farewell forever
Resending this .... I have three #Molekule Air Purifiers that I bought in a panic when, due to wild fires, our indoor air quality was poor. The Molekules are controlled by an app. The app works with the iPhone 12 but only intermittently with the iPhone 13. Molekule tech support recommends using the iPhone 12. (Really? Why not fix your app?) But here's the thing. The Molekule Air Purifier does NOT have any sensors to detect when the filter is full and needs to be replaced. The app gives you a message like "Filter Good: 74%". But that is based on the calendar! Not on any sampling of the debris level of the filter. Also, each Molekule has a display that could display a message: "Replace filter in one week." But they do not. My clothes dryer displays when to clean the lint filter. It has the smarts to detect that; it does not rely on the calendar; I don't need an app. So why does Molekule have an app? Do they have app developers but no embedded system developers?
The short answer is that, "It's not about the air purifier - it's about getting you to install something that tracks and quantifies you, and data mines your privacy."
In this case, you're not getting something for free - like Faceplant or InstaSPAM, you're actually paying money for the exclusive privilege of making yourself the product.
On another note, I feel your pain. I was almost incinerated in the #August_Complex fires in #Humboldt.
