I have the Levoit Core 300 and been running it for years. It catches stuff i guess. Filters are dusty. However, now in the winter here in Spain, I am getting cooked unless I open the doors. I try to not abuse HVAC because it dries up the air.

So basically my question is. If I run the Levoit Core 300 at Speed 1 in a 3x3 meter bedroom, am I getting any benefits from this, or because the room is open and the speed is mode 1 and not max (3) is this not really cycling air fast enough to really make a difference?

Thing is, anything above mode 1 is too noisy. I don't really understand how people use air purifiers past a certain noise level. And for sleep forget about it. I really have to turn it off. Plus im worried this thing delivers electromagnetic waves of some sort. In Amazon comments someone measured this and apparently some of these air purifiers deliver a ton of stuff of this nature. I guess nothing radioactive but something to consider that may disturb your sleep beyond the noise?

Anyway let me know thanks.

I have a mega old HVAC, 5 splits, Installed probably around early 2000's, it's an apartment in Spain. Every year before usage I always clean the filters, but this year im having problems as water leaks from the machine after a random amount of time using it. I took a look with my phone using the flashlight, here is what I found:

Livingroom split:

I have bought this stuff.

Apparently you put it and wait 15 minutes, repeat with both Airpur and Airnet. However is this going to reach on the back on the HVAC and remove all the stuff? I don't really know how to disassemble this. Im buying a new HVAC next year but this year I have to deal with this.

I am in Spain so im cooked if I don't use it. However I don't want to be breathing nasty stuff. I have cough with some green mucus for a month after I had a possible covid infection in late april so last thing I want is more stuff in my lungs. I don't drink or smoke or anything. Im trying to find anything that could be damaging. I already put a Levoit Core 300 HEPA filter in my bedroom, not sure how effective this is. I run it at speed 1 otherwise it's too noisy. It catches dust. But I want to get rid of that black stuff but im not sure how.

I also have an hydroject (Errecom Jet Gun Pro) but not sure if I should shot water into mold.

Someone also suggested a vaporetta like a Karcher to kill the mold in there but I don't have one.

For now I guess I will use these products. Please let me know.

I have like a 25 year old Hiyasu machine, a 5x1. I want to replace it with a 4x1. Would you please answer the following

-Do I need to replace the entire installation? I mean for sure, the drained hoses I want replaced because they are probably filled with crap. But the other tubes also have to be replaced? would you recommend that?

-Do modern HVACs have high quality HEPA filters? Me and my mom have allergies and it would be great if beside cooling it can also purify. I saw one by Mitsubishi (4x1 Mitsubishi Electric MXZ-4F80VF + 4xML-MSZ-AY25VGK) wow what a long name. Anyway, they claim this:

>Air Purifying + Allergic filter: improves indoor air quality, ideal for people with allergies or asthma.

>Plasma Quad Filter (optional): removes up to 97% of PM2.5 particles, bacteria, viruses, and mold.

It goes for 4433,97€ + installation.

-Do you recommend to invest in Mitsubishi? Why is it considered the best? I see other options like LG, Samsung, which are known brands, or even Panasonic, for sometimes half the price

-How do I know what power to put on each room? All splits look the same except the one in the livingroom which is bigger. This is a small apartment. Rooms around 3x3 to 3x4 meters. Livingroom I don't know, like 5x3? So I guess I can pick all the same and the livingroom a bit bigger.

-The split in my room used to have the drain hose going into the shower, but I installed a new shower and it was covered, so now it doesn't have way out. Should I tell them to make a new hole into the shower, or should I just place a bottle? The tile on the shower is new and I don't want to ruin it by making a hole. Also im paranoid that it's going to put mold on it that ends up sending mold spores into my room.

-What else would you recommend to know? I just don't want to be scammed. What prices to expect, and so on? And how do you keep the units and drain hoses free from mold and nasty stuff? Any advice is great.

Thanks

Im looking to use products like "Cillit Bang Black Mold Remover" for the bathroom which I think contains a % of basically bleach as well as "Airnet" and "Airpur" on the HVAC.

I asked AI and for 3M masks and it it said that a 7502 mask plus one of these filters:

3M 6059 ABEK1

3M 6099 ABEK2P3

3M 60926 ABEK1P3

Any of these would work. I assume 6099 would be the strongest filter.

But if it does not have "P3" on the name, I wouldn't use it because you are not protecting against mold spores, so I will probably go with 6099. Also the world of 3M filters and masks is pretty dense with so many combinations. Sometimes filter parts are sold separately. Im not sure what im buying at this point. And im in EU and sometimes I get recommended products that are listed differently in the US.

Also AI makes a lot of mistakes so I wanted to ask if anyone knows.

EDIT: Ok so it appears 6099 is not compatible with 7502 masks, only with full face masks. And 60926 is an US only product. See what I mean? there's too much info.

I don't know where to ask this on the internet but I have seen some experts here on masks.
Basically I want to clean with Cillit Bang Black Mould Remover as well as some HVAC cleaning products called Airnet and Airpur. Given those ingredients, I asked AI what mask to buy and it said:

3M 7502 mask + A2P3 filter

even better

3M 7502 mask + ABEKP3 filter

The problem is I don't know how to buy the stuff because 3M has a million different kits, pack, and even the filters are sold separated in pieces so you end up not knowing what to buy.

Anyone could confirm? Im in EU btw, someone suggested "P100" but that is not sold here.

Es increible la incompetencia de esta gente. Mañana es 24 y aun no tengo el borrador. Lleva desde el 15 "si hoy te lo envio sin falta para comentarlo".

Encima la renta no puede ser mas sencilla. Solo tengo esto:

1. Rendimientos de la cuenta de myinvestor (intereses)

2. Rendimiento por vender un fondo monetario

3. Rendimiento por vender unas acciones

Los 2 primeros valores ya vienen dados a hacienda. La unica "complicación" (que no debería serlo para un profesional) es calcular el rendimiento de las acciones por que hubo un split y myinvestor no envió de forma correcta el rendimiento. Si tenía por ejemplo 10 acciones, pasé a tener 100, y este evento no se le envió a hacienda por lo tanto sale descuadrado en "cartera de valores" y no se como funciona para ajustar el split.

Al final lo calculé a mano y me sale una perdida, mientras que a myinvestor les sale una ganancia, hay como 4000€ de diferencia. Lo he preguntado por ahí y me han dicho que de la forma que lo calculo yo es correcta y no saben como lo han calculado en myinvestor.

Estoy por meter yo mi rendimiento de la acción en la web de hacienda y si me preguntan les envio el .csv con los calculos, pero es que nunca lo he hecho yo mismo y no se bien como va la web de hacienda ni que hacer si me preguntan, por eso siempre acabo pagando a alguien, pero esta visto que a la mínima que tengas algo "interesante" en la declaración nunca he visto un gestor que no se lie y bueno este tio directamente ni me presenta un borrador y ya mismo se acaba el plazo para domiciliar.

Lo ideal sería saber hacer tu mismo todo y presentarlo pero es que llega junio y con este calor siempre he preferido delegar, por que encima hay que estar al tanto de todos los cambios que van habiendo etc en el tema fiscal, pero es que no hay un gestor que parezca fiable.

No se que hacer por que estoy viendo que llega el 25. Si alguien sabe otro gestor me interesa mas que nada para el año que viene, por que por mucho que diga que lo voy a hacer yo al final acabo pagando, pero estaría bien que al menos sea alguien fiable.

It's a rhetorical question, I know they can, it's just so unfair, and they shouldn't be able to do this. In a reasonable world they should get a reasonable % that represents what they are claiming, not 100% while the creator of the video gets nothing.

I've got an animation that went viral with 50 million views and the video contains a cover I did myself for a famous TV show. The animation is 20 minutes long. Months of work. All original content.

The fact that they can they just f*ck your shit up and get all the ad revenue of the 20 minute video (months of work producing it) only to see how some jackass greedy corporation takes all the money because there's 1 minute worth of background music of a cover I did myself of the music of a TV show is so frustrating. Crazy how we just comply with this insane system.

This is ridiculous. Im assuming this is not a copyright troll because the claimant's name is from a well known company, so unless someone is impersonating this company, then the claim is real. How do I double check this anyway? Just want to be sure they are the real company. Also, this seems manually claimed because it has happened years after I uploaded that video.

This is not fair to anyone reasonable. This dogsh*t system should be challenged in court so if they really want to claim money over some goofy cover I did, okay then, but get a reasonable %, not 100%. What % of the total work is 1 minute cover I did myself of a music I used on a 20 minute totally original animation? Let's see the braindead takes of Google chearleaders here justifying this.

Edit: The peabrains on this subreddit did it again. Of course they ignore my main point: It is not fair or reasonable that they take 100% of revenue for what constitutes like 1% of the totality of the video (a 1 minute cover I did myself is like 1% of the total of a 20 minute animation) while the actual creator of the video gets NOTHING. If you do not see how this is not fair or reasonable and we should work into changing this unfair system there is nothing I can do for you. The fact that other people have not complied with unfair shit so you can live a better life now flies above your head as this thread does.

Not GZDoom because unfortunately it does not integrate within Steam and I want to have multiplayer for DM and Coop. The Build Engine also has very poor MP support.

GZDoom (and I assume the Build Engine) does not support integrated stuff on the menus like this:

https://preview.redd.it/gh6vlcrnsi6h1.png?width=749&format=png&auto=webp&s=1b6770349db29674396b341764e12ff9b77890fe

Apparenetly something annoying that has to do with coding licenses or something. This ruins any hope of having a community of active people playing on the multiplayer aspect of your game.

I can edit existing ZDoom scripts and adapt them to create events linked to linedefs and so on, but no way I would ever be able to code the thing from scratch. I never liked coding. However I have a lot of experience making maps for 2.5d fps games, and I could learn how to get sprites, I also have a lot of experience in sound design.

I can basically do everything except coding. I've tried following tutorials for Unreal Engine and Unity but the people that do these tutorials they always stop making them plus they are probably outdated by now.

I don't want Easy FPS Editor thing one because it does not even allow for proper Doom style games, the map editor is too limited.

Im not sure about Godot.

So what do you recommend? I have the idea, vision, and knowledge except coding. If I could get some sort of template, then edit the sprites, scripts to tweak things a bit, textures etc, plus I learn the basics to know how to navigate around the program, perhaps UE/Unity could be doable? How do you even get started? seems insanely overwheelming.

I bought this one like back in 2020 or perhaps earlier, it lasted ages. There is still some, but I probably should change it, even tho it still somehow looks and smells good, but just in case.

I have read they have changed the formula. As usual, probably they use cheaper ingredients now or who knows.

So I was wondering, is there any natural alternatives that give you a texture that is not detectable (no wet effect or anything) and makes your hair stand against wind and so on?

This Kevin Murphy stuff I've heard gets so spammed here that it looks like a dodgy marketing campaign so I want some alternatives.
