Is this the dust sensor the same as a particle counter? All the particle counters I could find were in thousands of dollars.


Look up the PMS7003, I think I got it for $40 bucks on aliexpress and it's used in many air filters to monitor PM2.5 and PM10 etc sized particles. Easily run by a raspi and i output to a regular segmented display for my particle counts averaged every 5 minutes to see the california fires and how quickly my air filter could clear the room. For reference the winix 545 ($110 from costco iirc) on full blast got me down to about 0 particles in 15 minutes.

edit: oh and regarding fan noise, the PMS7003 has a tiny centrifugal fan in it but I can barely hear it with my ear on top of it. The winix air filter on full blast though... crazy loud compared to the other low/med/high settings it's kind of hilarious how big of a jump it is in fan speed


That link does not show the instructions? Is it correct?


Sorry I didn't explain too well. That link is to an online demo server of the Kolibri app that has that channel imported.

You can get the same channel locally (localhost; for offline use) using the following steps:

1. Download Kolibri https://learningequality.org/download/ , 2. Install and start, 3. Go to Device > Content > IMPORT and choose the channel called "Khan Academy - Standardized Test Preparation" from the list, 4. wait for import process to finish, then you're done.

I posted the same info in another comment on this thread of this story so I didn't want to repeat here. See that for more info.


Let me start first. I wish there is a free open source note taking software that will allow me to easily insert inline images (copied from a clipboard). AFAIK, the only software that has this feature is Zim Wiki. But its interface is very primitive in a mac.


Why would it need to be free? If it provides a value users could spend a couple of dollars.


Yes, as long it is open source, it should be okay.


What are some good resources for learning photoshop?


Online tutorials and Youtube videos were some help, but really it just takes practice. Muscle memory is key. I used two tools repeatedly, the clone tool and healing brush, then magnified the work area to zoom in on details. I think the patience I learned has transferred to other non-Photoshop tasks. Others here have commented on similar results.


Inline images is a must. I usually take screenshots and pictures for ideas that are not easily expressible in text.

Next should be the web clipper equivalent of evernote.
