@linux_mclinuxface anyone listing things for laughable prices - “Atari heavy sixer $1999!” - gets put in a special “tell’em they’re dreaming” section with links to more reasonably priced similar items.
With the #wildfire smoke in #yeg this weekend, I pulled the air purifiers up from the basement.
Does anyone know how the filters work for these? As in is there some sort of standard or does each manufacturer make unique?
I have a couple of Instant (as in Instant Pot) brand filters and they work well. But filters seem to be stupid expensive: 55CAD per filter. I think the original purifier was only 80CAD.
There similar looking/sized filters for half the price, but not sure if they'll work.
"The point I’m attempting to make is that when a company, built on Open-Source, tries to lock it down, almost always in defence of falling margins and a perceived “ripping off” by others, it fails to re-invigorate the community"
@linux_mclinuxface Thought: others don't try to "rip you off"if you're not already ripping off your customers and not a good community member. If your FOSS product is oriented around getting people to use your above-fair-market-price service, you're rightly going to get backlash and competition.
@linux_mclinuxface is it mounted on a structure that has a lucrative advertising billboard on one or many sides? That’s why Telstra keep their payphones on pavements in Australia.
@linux_mclinuxface I had a better experience accessing CAD data via VPN on the airport WiFi in Toronto than I sometimes do in my actual office on the LAN 🤦♂️
