This Asus PC case monitors your dust filter so you don’t have to

Side view of a black computer case, with a dust filter mesh resting against the side of the case.
Traditionally, one would have to periodically check the status of the dust filtering on a PC case, but that’s not the case (pun intended!) with the Asus ProArt PA602. This chassis has a fancy infrared (IR) sensor behind the front-facing dust filter. Should this detect a set layer of dust covering the filter material, a small LED will illuminate on the side of the case. It’s tastefully done. No alert on an LCD screen, no obnoxious sound. With this activated, you will know to clean the filter (and give the inside a quick air blast) next time the system has been shut down.

Quite a thoughtful case, apart from having the dust filter warning, it also has wheels to move it more easily.

But it does show also, is that even cases can innovate as well. I’d like to see more of these and maybe have the sensors also on the other dust filters (my case has one underneath as well), as IR sensors themselves are not very expensive to incorporate.

Florida COVID cases rising faster

Florida’s surge of COVID-19 cases escalated significantly Friday when the Florida Department of Health announced 73,166 new resident cases of COVID-19 since last Friday, nearly double the already high rates from last week’s report and more than seven times of where they were in mid-June.

On Thursday, the U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy noted that in Florida “cases are rising at an alarming rate, hospitalizations are going up, and deaths are going up,” Murthy said in an interview with McClatchy.

Last July was the worst month of the Florida pandemic, with daily case counts routinely topping 10,000. As of Thursday, Florida recorded 13,256 new daily COVID cases, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported, the highest single day count since January.

Murthy, in the McClatchy interview on Thursday, said pockets of the state with low vaccination rates were contributing to rising cases, hospitalizations and deaths.

“The challenge we have in Florida, and in far too many states, is we still don’t have vaccination rates high enough, and in some pockets, we have actually vaccination rates that are quite low,” he said. “And the consequence of that is that COVID is now spreading very quickly in those populations. So that’s what concerns me.”
