Wow, I must be the only person on Lemmy that cannot

I use a pixel with android but I’m often envious of apple users privacy from the US government.

Fair. If someone almost clips you in their car because they ran a stop sign, you’re lucky to be alive lmao

Same. I’ve been journaling intermittently from 2019 on, but I’ve barely filled a whole journal with how often I just give up.

We have a few around me still. One in my town and one in the neighboring town. A bit pricey but I try to get what I can there since a best buy just opened up near them.

Well the rate of airflow through the fan is at its maximum when there are no filters attached to it. Each filter likely slows down airflow if hooked up in a “series” pattern, but you’re right that having these four in “parallel” will increase flow compared to one strapped directly to it. I’m sure there’s a problem with reducing the airflow too much, because the fans motor would start to burn, and I’d guess that hoisting the fan up in the air rather than standing upright on the ground would improve airflow.

That being said, I’d need to do it myself and see what strapping a single filter to a fan does. I have hunch it wouldn’t burn out the motor, and I imagine it’d still be effective. If the rate of airflow isn’t severely reduced with a single filter, that’d just mean the same amount of air is being forced through a filter in either case (1 vs 4 filters).

Of course the single filter would wear out four times as fast so it probably won’t make a difference in how many you buy in the long run. I’m just sort of rambling at this point but it’s a neat concept to think about.

I still use mine all the time! Works great for computers hooked up as gaming consoles because it’s a mouse and a bunch of very useful keys all in one.

I don’t understand

Oh. A CEO of a filter company. I sort of wondered why I couldn’t just tape a single filter to a fan, why it required four of them. Maybe it has something to do with air flow limitations, or maybe it has something to do with the guy making a profit on every filter sold lol

You are for sure not wrong.

My mind has been so poisoned by the vindictiveness of US culture since 2016, that I genuinely read a headline like this and a big part of me is happy it’s the other side that got hurt. Like wtf happened to me.

Yeah, I need to know that Microsoft authenticator, duo mobile, all banking and trading apps, Venmo, and steam guard work on Linux. I know a lot of banking apps do, but if duo mobile doesn’t, I’m locked out of my work.
