Microsoft's carbon emissions grew 29.1% from 2020 to 2023, as its push to be the global leader in AI puts its goal to be carbon negative by 2030 in peril (Bloomberg)

Some months ago, I created a replacement filter box for the Qidi X-Max 3. Today, I found that someone has remixed a "Bento box" filter for the X-Max 3. Mine is an exhaust filter; the "bento box" is a recirculating filter. So I wanted to link to the Bento box as an alternative to my design for anyone who wants a recirculating filter.

combining an ammonium-cation-containing electrolyte with electrodes made of carbon.
According to Zhao, the organic semiconductor anode made of graphite is cheap, and sustainable.
The scientists developed a “dual-ion” battery by using hexafluorophosphate ions as negative charge carriers for the ammonium cations

The Great Unravelling
All around us we see the symptoms of a relentless slow motion break-down and collapse of multiple systems1. We call this The Great Unravelling. Some elements are more obvious than others – wars and displacement of enormous numbers of people, extreme weather events, social fragmentation and division. Others are less obvious, but their impacts are to be seen easily enough: carbon pollution and global overheating, biodiversity loss, resource…
