Not with a fan that size. and I highly doubt that a HEPA filter and a fan works. you need significant air pressure behind the fan to get any real filtering volume.
Honestly people buying cheap pleated paper furnace filters and doubling them up over their windows will be more effective. when it can filter 50CFM then I'll be impressed. and that will be for a very small one that can barely keep up with air leakage of a tiny apartment.
Comparable particle counts HOW? right up against the filter? What about over time? Zero details except you MUST go to his workshop for $33 to find out... Fishy...
I have a rock that keeps tigers away, My most recent tiger count shows zero so it's as good as a $10,000 tiger cage.
Need real data, full information on how the test was done and for how long. Anything else is made up BS or misinformation.
It's because he is a grad student, be nice to the mentally challenged. grad students are people too.
All you need to do is have the USB drive mounted by a locked down device. Example, RasPi set to read only on the OS and disable everything all it does is mounts the USB drive and then offers up the contents via the network.
I dont care what you have in the USB stick it will not auto run and infect. then your can look at the contents with another pc via the network and see the real contents or even run automated tests on it before it is available to the users machine.
It is not hard to make something that will stop this crap.
Just another reason why you shouldn't stick foreign objects in your orifices...
www.bad-dragon.com is okay though.
The problem is that people on the internet in their garages are doing more for the advancement of "machinery" than the ACM has ever done in it's lifetime.
The ivory towers are crumbling, the staunchy University model is becoming irrelevant.

Unfortunately for Microsoft, they likely would have been better off actually breaking the law, because at least that would result in a trial over the truth (and some ill-gotten gains in the process). Instead, because this is a political maneuver by the Chinese, Microsoft is being used as a scapegoat here. Any resulting punishment for Microsoft will be based on the state of Sino-American relations and whether China wants to harm the US by proxy. Which given how things currently stand, MS is looking rather screwed.
And most of us here feel really bad for MS getting fucked over, after they've fucked over so many others.
I don't believe in karma, but if I did, this is a prime example of karma.
What if I like something other than the low-quality faeces that Americans call "chocolate"?
USians have shit food, shit drinks, shit art, shit music, shit films, shit cars, shit working environments, shit schedules, ugly women and no culture. It's no wonder you people are so violent and whiny.
Haters gonna hate.
The commonwealth is a lot smaller than expected!
Yes, I went there.... Deal with my vast knowledge of really bad SciFi!
"the only way to remove them is to start a lengthy legal process."
You mean the only LEGAL way.. I have friends that will remove them within hours for only a case of beer and gas money.
Same as the delusion that strict anti- gun laws make a difference... See Chicago for an example of this as a failure.
for now.
If you think they will not modify that agreement when the time comes to renew it, you are silly. in my town it was a requirement to carry public channels and OTA local channels unencrypted. They simply had their lawyer remove that from the last one they signed.
when your town is ran by a bunch of morons (only morons want to be politicians in power) you get this kind of stuff happening. And 99.976% of all american cities and towns have complete drooling morons in charge.
The mayor here is so stupid he demanded they pass a law making it a felony to say anything bad about him. And then threw a fit when everyone told him that will never happen.
For incredibly inept companies that really know nothing at all about security to run without firewalling.
Make sure you have a clause written in that without a firewall your client is fully responsible for any and all damages their unsecured server will cause.
