I hate that everyone and everything has a "app" now. I don't have one of these, I have some cables from Anker that are good but I don't want a "app" for a freaking power bank.

From the post:

>Selling power banks these days isn’t easy, as you can only stretch the reasonable limits of capacity and output wattage so far. Fortunately there is now a new game in town, with ‘smart’ power banks, like the Anker one that [Aaron Christophel] recently purchased for reverse-engineering. It features Bluetooth (BLE), a ‘smart app’ and a rather fancy screen on the front with quite a bit of information. This also means that there’s a lot to hack here beyond basic battery management system (BMS) features.

Read the bottom comment below first, else won’t make lots of sense. I had a second thought and replied twice - And if you want to by a washer and dryer that works for the rest of your kids lives: speed queen.

I had a guy that ran laundry’s tell me once, if you can’t afford a speed queen then save your fucking money until you can.

My whirlpool washer/dryer have had no issues besides the electronic fill valve. Cold went out in 2020, hit just went out last week. The part in Amazon is $13, cross reference it don’t buy the $70 one.

I’ll put that in this weekend.

Yeah speed queens are 1500-2k each, but if you buy Lucky gold star shit, you will spend that much over the next 5 years replacing them. So one and done.

When the whirlpools die and I can’t fix, speed queen it will be.
