Instead we'll build something that needs a subscription, and you can only get the filters from 1st party sources and the filters have a chip that requires you to swap them even if they are not full

I have never seen a consumer air purifier with a chip in the filter and I have quite a few, do you have an example?

I believe it was a joke/prediction based on the many examples of this happening. See printer ink or keurig cups as a couple.

Im actually kind of surprised that dyson didn't bravely pioneer drm'd filters.
