Add Altavista + Netscape and we're set.

I understand manufacturers measure noise levels differently so it's never a direct stat comparison.

For reference the main purifier I use in my own place is the SmartAir blast (full size), running at low to medium 24x7.

Back in the market for air purifiers, this time for my folks.

Would appreciate suggestions that balance air flow vs noise. It's only useful if they keep it turned on!

Shortlisted from the time I looked:

SmartAir blast mini:
340@36db, 450@43db, 740@49db

SA600
245@39db, 470@52.5db

Photograph of the exhibit stand for the asteroid Ryugu grain. The grain is within a transparent circular case, mounted on a plinth. On the same stand is a small model of the Hayabusa2 spacecraft and asteroid Ryugu, along with a vertically mounted magnifying glass for closer viewing.

A poster adverting the exhibit and public talk on August 30 in the evening. The poster text is in Thai, but the talk will be in English! The talk will be from 6:30pm - 7:30pm.

A grain from asteroid Ryugu is now on display at the NARIT HQ in Princess Sirindhorn AstroPark in Chiang Mai, Thailand! 🔭🛰️ The last day of the exhibit will be Aug. 30, and I'll be giving a public talk in Chiang Mai on the JAXA Hayabusa2 mission, and the science n' smuggling of the asteroid grains 🧪.

As an Australian (albeit from a different state), it was rather nice seeing Untitled Goose game's credits pointing out the Victorian support they got.

To be fair, good on Kobo for letting (DRM-infused) epubs be downloaded - so as a workaround you could use adobe digital editions to have offline reading.

Surprisingly, the Android app for reading Kobo ebooks doesn't work offline.

e.g. If your app ever closes after the connection is lost, you're stuffed for the rest of a flight.

The handy Calibre/DeDRM lets you rip them into normal epubs, but this use case should be supported better natively.

Belkin Is Ending Support for Most Wemo Smart Home Gadgets Belkin is ending app and cloud support for most of the brand's Wemo products. Devices compatible with Apple HomeKit, however, can keep working if set up before Jan. 31, 2026.

Smart home appliances sure are great.

Until the company that sells them decides to switch off the proprietary cloud service they rely on.

Then they're basically a really expensive doorstop.
