mambo_giroon Apple introduces new AirTag with longer range and improved findability

Apple rarely offers direct discounts of closeout or excess merchandise. Instead to clear out back stock they’ll work with partner retailers (Amazon, Best Buy, etc.) who don’t mind the brand perception associated with offering deeper discounts.

mambo_giroon Ask HN: What indoor CO2 monitor do you recommend?

I have a handful of these in my home and really appreciate the small form factor, long battery life, and options for accessing the data (on-screen live values via eInk display, encoded recent history displayed via QR code, or simple http server endpoint over wifi): https://github.com/davidkreidler/OpenCO2_Sensor.
