We can't recommend the Molekule Air Mini Plus, which I tested, as a result of these problems coupled with a recent decision by the National Advertising Review Board to force a retraction of many of Molekule's misleading advertising claims. That said, the air purifier does appear to address a problem that most HEPA filtration cleaners simply don't: the presence of gaseous pollutants in the home. Such pollutants have plenty of sources, whether from paint, furniture, cleaning solutions or even some composite boards. For that reason alone, Molekule's eye-catching brand is worth keeping tabs on -- especially as its latest air cleaner was just approved by the FDA as a Class II medical device. … [Read more...] about Best air purifiers for 2021: Coway, Honeywell, Blueair and more

My interest in 3D printing started way back in 2018, when I got pretty deep in the weeds, creating everything from tabletop game accessories to phone stands to a sweet mini Millennium Falcon.

Xiaomi stock tumbles after being blacklisted in US

Xiaomis stock nosedived more than 10 per cent in early Friday trading after the news broke. In a fresh list, the US Department of Defense has targeted Xiaomi, which means that the company is also vulnerable to the outgoing President Donald Trump's executive order that bans the US firms from investing in such companies. The move may force US companies and other investors to divest in Xiaomi this year. According to Counterpoint Research, Xiaomi was the third largest smartphone maker globally in the third quarter of 2020, and India is its biggest market.
