There’s potentially a rule against it depending on who you rent from (idk w/ my current landlord corporation, would have to ask) and if they’re feeling particularly vindictive they could try to use evidence of your “unauthorized repairs” to withhold security deposit.

ymmv depending on how sneakily you can replace an air filter

this also makes sense, hmm.

is the best bet to examine the blower specs and find a corresponding filter grade?

where’s that Alec guy when you need him…

it feels like it’s ALWAYS time to replace the dsng filter

and i rent so i have to email a management company repeatedly to get it replaced 😭

I cannot because I’m just a goofball with a mild interest in home improvement

Wikipedia says HEPA filters became commercially available in the 1950s though so anything older than that I’d bet some beer money would benefit from a less dense filter

I wouldn’t think forced air heating systems that old are too common though tbh

I’m more desperate and will do the printer work

ideally producing scientific research and art but in practice I’m just trying to minimize my own suffering :/

physics wise that makes sense but modern systems should* be designed taking into account the air resistance of their specified filters

older or for any other reason more weak airflow systems probably do benefit from a less dense filter

*lol “should” means so little these days

to add to the data points I’ve known 3 lovely Katies and 2 awful ones

e r e c t u s

but i have to get my laptop out to upgrade it and whenever i get my laptop out i impulsively play OpenRCT2 for the maximum amount of hours possible until i need to sleep before my next shift

do you see my dilemma

Perhaps it’s not possible to fully replace all humans in the process, but harmful content filtering seems like something where taking the burden off humans could do more good than harm if implemented correctly (big caveat, I know.)
