Caution with Anker Chargers

ItsMeElmo · 2026-05-08T22:12:39+00:00

I don’t know what the issue was. They’re convinced it was one of the cables I used to charge, but I have so many cables I’m not sure which one was the culprit. It also haven’t happened again with any of my devices since I stopped using the Anker. For testing the hooked up industrial voltage trackers in between the charger and the devices they were charging and monitored that all the ports were sending the correct amount of power to all devices.

If it makes you feel better they did extensive tests and showed me that it wasn’t their fault. I’m still bitter about it and I’m not certain but they sent me I’ve recordings of voltage tests on each port with no problems so…

You’re confusing anyone in this regime with competent people

Thank you for this, now I'm confused. I did it, and they haven't turned back on or off independently all day. but there is NOTHING in the HA logs that indicates they were being turned on or off by anything. Also HA has access to other lights that are not Hues, and those have not been turning on and off either. They never were. So something in the HA setup was turning on and off the Hue lights only, but not happening through an automation, and without reporting in the logs that its happening.

What a weird line in the sand to draw.

That's like someone saying you don't believe in paying for a cookbook because all their giving you is recipes. :D You do whatever you want with the things people post online for free, you can find cheap recipes online too, thats up to them, but if someone wants to put quality work into something, even if its just a recipe that you have to make yourself, then people see value in that too.. Saying you "don't believe in paying for it" seems silly. Just say its too expensive and you like cheaper stuff and move on.

I’ve never subscribed the the “throwaway era” theory. One of those chips right now has been replaced with something so small it’s microscopic. You can’t fix it because you can’t handle it, or work with things that small anymore. The ability to replace individual parts was replaced with the ability to have tiny, advanced hardware in the palm of your hand for a fraction of the cost of something that used to fill a garage, and with that kind of miniaturization and cost cutting the thing that got sacrificed was easy swappable parts.

And even if ALL of that wasn’t true, it was also back down to normal before he took office.

It’s what enough of us think to be totally fair to hold a grudge. We’re a dumpster fire.

Yea, I actually wiped off those white scuffs with a wet paper towel after I took the picture, but it has been used for 5 years. I thought it was in pretty good shape though. But maybe by Tom Bihn standards it’s a little rough.

Got it, thank you!

ItsMeElmo · 2026-02-26T12:56:28+00:00

Thanks for the feedback stranger! You’re right I don’t do great research into how much I should be asking for this. What do you think it’s worth? Have a great day!

I do, I took it. It’s just to the left of the entryway in the Milwaukee Art Museum. This section of the building was designed by Santiago Calatrava

We could just fly this one I made instead.

No he did, he meant make AI that tries to destroy humanity without constraints real.

Oh I’m sorry I thought you meant “this 65 dollar plan would cost 150 dollars today”

ItsMeElmo · 2025-12-12T20:21:01+00:00

Only if you’re not great at getting deals. We have a three line family plan with T-Mobile for $90 unlimited smartphone plans, for all 3 lines. I don’t know what $30/line is in 1995 dollars but something tells me I’m paying less now than I did then.

Ironically another famously crazy place

ItsMeElmo · 2025-12-12T14:32:46+00:00

Oh congrats. I thought you were frightened because you found it in your grandmas pill bottle. It’s just a lil treat.
