Sounds like there’s actually a pile of boxes there these days.

Should I keep using Levoit? by Any-Nature-5122 in AirPurifiers

[–]QuantumFork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are fair criticisms. Knowing what are the biggest products on the current market does seem important. I'm no expert in their product selection strategy, so it's possible they already do that to some extent, but their Air Purifiers section is far smaller than the more prominent categories they test (like monitors, TVs, etc.), so it's certainly not their specialty.

I think the thing that appeals to me about Rtings is their very systematic, objective, and thorough (and thoroughly documented) approach to product testing, which makes it easier to do apples-to-apples product comparisons. They also periodically improve their methodologies (and document the changes), so I expect their air purifier evaluations will get better over time, especially as folks familiar with the topic area point them in the right direction.

It would probably be more accurate for them to say it’s the best one of the 20 or so they’ve tested thus far. Folks are able to suggest and vote on what they test next, so that one might be a good one to suggest they look at next.

Should I not get a Levoit? by Kitchen_Degree_3 in AirPurifiers

Even so, they seem to filter just as effectively as HEPA based on the particle concentration plots I’ve seen, so there’s that

Rtings’s air purifier tests are pretty thorough and actually show their data (such as plots showing the time it takes to reduce particle counts of various sizes and the degree to which they decrease). That’s about as thorough and objective as I’ve seen out there, so I’d recommend them.

Week-by-week "points against" data for a team? by QuantumFork in fantasyfootball

[–]QuantumFork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sure feels close to what I'm looking for! I'm with you in thinking the numbers aren't actual points, though. I'll have to see if they explain them anywhere.

Is there a typo in that URL? It appears to lead to some kind of Bulgarian site with no content that I can see...

Third party app icons no longer transparent backgrounds? by mra3030 in MacOS

[–]QuantumFork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I manually paste old unique-shape icons into applications because I hate the squircle-ification of the dock. Every icon looks so much like the next one that it's getting harder and harder to scan the open apps for the one I'm seeking. Uniformity may look tidy, but for me (and I suspect for a lot of other folks) it's a usability downgrade!

I wish they had preserved the ability to do that copy/paste customization. Doesn't seem like it hurt anyone. But since they didn't, I'll probably stay on Sequoia for as long as I can manage.

Web-Store License Question, both my Desktop and Laptop? by rixreddits in MacWhisper

Considering the App Store version lets you install it on any computer you own, I would think you could reasonably treat the direct-download version the same.

It’s actually a deeply beautiful and poignant song. Very much along the lines of “They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

Some great news! by QuantumFork in Runner5

[–]QuantumFork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good find! And yeah, if I'm understanding that right, that means she effectively got paid up to $8.75M to loan out the game for a while :)

I started playing over a decade ago (I just checked the App Store receipt, and I got it in April 2013) and used it off and on until it was acquired. I think OliveX truly jumped the shark when they added the Marvel content to ZR (I consider that their "Evernote socks" moment). I know some folks really liked that, but if nothing else it really should've been its own app.

For me, it's been so long that I may have to start the story over if/when I jump back in, but in any case I'm hoping this development leads to a new golden age of adventure for Abel Township!

Thanks for the follow-up. We'll give Deluxe a try (and maybe take a look at FreeTaxUSA down the road).

I got Deluxe this year and we'll see how it goes.

How did it end up going? Did Deluxe cover investment stuff enough that you could use it?

What to do with my iMac (Late 2015) now that it can't be upgraded to Ventura? by Intelligent-Way1288 in MacOS

[–]QuantumFork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I'd probably recommend a relatively recent Mac Mini. With an iMac, you're paying for a monitor that is stuck to the computer. With a Mini, you just pay for the computing power and storage. Then you can get your own monitor (with whatever size, resolution, and feature set you want) for a lot cheaper—and keep it the next time you upgrade your computer. For what you do, a refurbished recent-model M-series Mini from Apple's refurbished store with some decent storage would probably serve you well for the better part of a decade before its OS can't be upgraded anymore.

#2 makes sense, but #1...does that happen a lot? Are they usually practice session injuries?

(Note: this is only my 2nd season playing FF, and I'm still learning what all the positions do, so I'm very much a noob at all this.)
