Steevithak 👾<p>Our recent home renovation work had me concerned about air quality. So I picked up this Tuya air quality meter. It has a nice assortment of sensors measuring particulates at 10μm, 2.5μm, 1μm, and 0.3μm. It also measures CO₂, CO, HCHO (formaldehyde), VOCs, and shows the EPA Air Quality Index (ACI). I'm using it stand-alone but it can pair with an Android app or be used as a sensor via WiFi with an open API<br>.<br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/photooftheday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>photooftheday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/airquality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>airquality</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/airmeter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>airmeter</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/geekstuff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>geekstuff</span></a></p>

stevenray<p>Welp, I just ordered a new-to-me Mac mini. </p><p>I always order refurbished Macs to save tons of dough, so I'm replacing my late 2012 model with a late 2018 one that's maxed out with 64GB of RAM, and cuz it has very little internal storage space, I'm also getting a 6-terabyte (!) external mini-sized drive.
