If you could call it thinking, maybe.

More likely this is posing and nothing else.

If it is something else, it's a threat, solicitation for bribes, or both

Beat feet, give food

They can't do that until they finish destroying the ACA

Given the price increases on the former and the price drops on the latter, soon it might be feasible

You ignored vulture capitalists buying the starter homes and the Airbnb epidemic

There are people starving on the streets NOW

This is, of course, capitalism-worshiping nonsense. Corporations are legal fictions. Having bought one, you have become the owner of the entire fiction, including the name. They are SCO now in every sense that matters, and I say that as someone who used to run SCO software and who knows several former SCO employees. That SCO is dead, hopefully this SCO can also die soon, but they are legally the same SCO.

False. As a hosting provider Microsoft doesn't care what OS people are using, they just have to host it. But as an OS provider, Linux is still competition, so they still have a reason to attack it.

It's a crap argument anyway because the point was to keep Linux from becoming relevant on the desktop.

There's also just the general fact that they don't softball shit. If something is anti-consumer they say so. It just so happens that everything Nvidia does these days is anti-consumer. Remember when they were the underdog? Those were good days because they were trying hard.

my mod troll is big mad I got a good comment score so he downmodded me three times to prove how broken Slashdot moderation is by design

No need for that, just store coolness in the house. Chill the house sooner, it's not just air, the mass of the house itself also cools.

The reason people go for less effective filters is that it takes less force to push air through them, which lets you put more air through it with the same force/noise. The filters have a similar particle profile, they are all very good at stopping tiny particles and very good at stopping larger particles, and comparatively worse at particles between 0.1 and 0.3 microns. It's just that a HEPA grade filter stops 99.7% or more of those hardest particles, whereas a MERV 13 filter (the most common furnace-grade throughput-optimized filter grade) stops 85%.

People who haven't looked into it probably imagine that there exists some small size of particle which HEPA stops but non-HEPA filters let through. But that isn't so. All particles which gets stopped by one gets stopped by the other, the difference is just at what rate - and the smallest particles are actually easier to stop (something to do with Brownian motion)

Not anything with "ionization". Ionized air is a cute name for ozone. Ozone causes all the problems to your lungs that you clean air to avoid (well, except COVID infection I guess).

I wouldn't go for UV either since it either produces ozone or is quite bad to get exposed to depending on frequency range.

Get an air filter with high throughput. HEPA is standard, but many people argue that lower grade filters with higher throughput can be more noise efficient.

Hard to have sympathy with Elsevier, but this reeks of a failed COVID snake oil get-rich-quick schemer blaming someone else for not succeeding.
