I'm putting this in chat and not in Technology because I'm also wondering about things like clothes, appliances—basically any sort of consumer product, virtual or physical, you can think of that you feel has retained some standard of quality and has not yet been enshittified. I would start by saying that Wikipedia has not yet been enshittified, but perhaps you disagree? Post is inspired by this video.

EDIT: coyotino correctly points out that Wikipedia isn't a product but a service; poor word choice on my part, just trying to cast a wide a net as possible here in the hopes of making a list of "things that are still good that don't suck." Like I said, a wide net 🙂.

I wonder if a Conway air purifier would help Mrs. Hedge with her allergies . . . ? 🤔

I have a couple based on the recommendations and testing from Wirecutter. I'm not going to definitively say it will help with allergies bc everyone's body is a little different, but it's definitely highly effective for filtering!

Mrs. Hedge is convinced that all air purifiers don't work, but I'll definitely pass that on to her and maybe it will change her mind (and even better, improve her mood during allergy season!)

My kitchen doesn't have a vent to the outside, so I'd have to open windows to deal with any smoke or fumes from cooking. Since I got the air purifier it kicks in when I cook and cleans the air in minutes. I've also noticed improvements with my allergies since getting one.
