      Instead we’ll build something that needs a subscription, and you can only get the filters from 1st party sources and the filters have a chip that requires you to swap them even if they are not full

        I have never seen a consumer air purifier with a chip in the filter and I have quite a few, do you have an example?

          I believe it was a joke/prediction based on the many examples of this happening. See printer ink or keurig cups as a couple.

            Im actually kind of surprised that dyson didn’t bravely pioneer drm’d filters.

      Indoor plants help add oxygen/reduce co2 as well as help regulate relative humidity, and some research suggests they may absorb certain VOCs, but they do nothing to trap pathogens. Any ol’ paper filter does a great job of trapping pathogens though.
