  • Reddit flagged this as inaccurate and the mod added this:

    The issue was never with the poster’s self identification. The Ubuntu Community Council have been contacted and have been discussing the issue since Friday it happened.

    The Ubuntu Community Council rarely comments publicly when complaints are dealt with, but the moderation team is welcome to do so.

    Because I am on the Ubuntu Community Council and have been working on this issue, I am unable to comment further at this time.









  • I watched this. It was of interest to me because I must run two dehumidifiers in my house and they use a ton of energy. Unfortunately, this desiccant dehumidifier would use even more energy. Hoping someday someone figures out how to build a more efficient one.

    In the meantime, I think manufacturers need to build all dehumidifiers with a repeat cycle timer built in. I find it far more energy efficient to run for some period like 30 minutes till the humidity drops low — like 45%, then shut off for 60-120 minutes while the humidity slowly creeps back up until the cycle repeats. Most dehumidifiers work based on a humidity threshold and will constantly click on and off as the threshold gets crossed. In my experience, this uses a lot more energy. Being in a high cost state it is completely unaffordable.
