The big problem I see with DRM on air filters is that air filters don't do anything complicated. Remove the electronics module and connect the fan directly to power. Done. They should have done that in the factory and pocketed the profit from not buying electronics and NRE.
(This is less possible on things like printers, which have to synthesize somewhat complicated motion, carefully release ink at the right time, etc.)
- hnarn 4y agoI saw an article about someone literally just tying an air filter to the front of a construction fan, and apparently it worked well to improve the air quality in the room it was in (it was bad to begin with, of course). It’s a very simple concept hidden behind a lot of unnecessary technology.
