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.

Strange since my brothers compressor in his 9 yr old fridge went out, and they don’t make it. I said it’s a compressor, most any will work. He said sure the junk yard can do that.
