They seem fine at picking up dust and they get quite dirty over their lifespan. I live next to a building site so my main issue is dust. Not sure how good they are at pm2.5 and VOCs, your millage may vary!

I’ve got Levoit units and they certainly suck up a lot of dust, and have a mesh pre-filter you can vacuum clean. My fav is the Vital 200s, quite hard to get in the UK but it’s a great size/throughput. I have a 100S which is great too. Plenty of cheap 3rd party filters also which keeps costs down

I feel like the movie industry for the past 20 years has been generating human CGI slop where loud in your face graphics and sound take the place of robust, consistent and intelligent storylines. There are of course a few exceptions, Tron Legacy one of them, perhaps by pure accident?

Seems like a no-brainer, shame they’re sold out (at least everywhere I looked!). Great video 😎

Yes, but you'll attract attention to the fact you're in the Neutral Zone and Picard will be well annoyed as a result

Given your experience, I’m wondering if it’s worth pre-emptively replacing all the ceramics on A1200s as part of preventative maintenance?

My mum used one every day at her work (a design studio), and she had a 28.8k modem to do research. Lot of nostalgia for it, although I preferred the designer’s PowerMacs with their 21” monitors 😄
