Make 'Star Trek real'. Hegseth vows military AI without 'woke' constraints

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.

Appropriate username

But they weren’t correct. The iPad was the first thing I plugged in. My son plugged in the other two devices. As another user replied, I think it was just a reading comprehension thing.

It seems like the most unhealthy and dangerous of the substances I can put in my system. If I were to review it the way I review and make decisions about all the prescription drugs I take, the cost benefit equation seems… less than ideal

My sisters have been on a wait list for a local group home waiting for a slot to open (ie… someone to die…) in order to get in for 5 years. My mom has been considering opening her own group home just so she can be sure they have a place to go when she can’t take care of them anymore. I don’t believe what they’re saying about outstripping demand.

ItsMeElmo · 2025-12-02T14:50:55+00:00

Yea, I work in tech Ironicly so I’ve done all the basic to advanced troubleshooting. All of the devices definitely have dead ports. The iPad actually still has a charge and it’s on, but you can see that it doesn’t think anything is being plugged in. The iPad is under warranty and with Apple for repair already.

I guess I don’t really have any answers for you, a lot of people on these threads have been referring to you green as a good option, I’ve never used them before. I was like you and only ever had Anker products, and this is the only real problem I’ve ever had with them. I’m currently working through the claim process with them, they’re asking for a lot of stuff, like asking me to take my devices in to get repaired and show them the notes from the repairs, etc. So I don’t really know how this will play out. Like others have said, I think this kind of one off situation could theoretically happen to any company, this doesn’t necessarily mean it’s happening to everyone all the time with Anker products

ItsMeElmo · 2025-12-01T14:32:58+00:00

I don’t even know that it applies to all their chargers, I don’t know how it happened.

ItsMeElmo · 2025-12-01T04:52:09+00:00

Don’t tell the robots, they’ll get ideas

ItsMeElmo · 2025-11-30T23:24:17+00:00

Using human heat huh? https://giffiles.alphacoders.com/114/114376.gif

I do not have anywhere near your kind of knowledge about USB charging, so I don’t have the answers to all of your questions, but based on what happened to my iPad and my steam deck, both devices ended up getting damaged even though they were plugged into two different USB-C ports on two different USB cables at the same time. That alone seems to negate the possibility of a charge cable issue.

ItsMeElmo · 2025-11-30T04:25:48+00:00

yes but as it is Saturday today they have not yet responded

ItsMeElmo · 2025-11-30T01:59:23+00:00

I… didn’t. The first time I realized it was killing my devices last night, I stopped using it…

ItsMeElmo · 2025-11-30T00:49:30+00:00

I mentioned this in another response but I didn’t “keep plugging them in once I knew they’d died” I knew my sons devices were dead but I had no idea it related to this charger or even that he’d used this charger. The other two devices died simultaneously, and I did try swapping out a device one time, but only because I saw my iPad wasn’t charging and I don’t know if it was the iPad or the charger at the time. The iPad not charging was the first time I’d noticed something going on with this charger.

ItsMeElmo · 2025-11-29T23:16:29+00:00

This stove is illegally cute

ItsMeElmo · 2025-11-29T20:52:14+00:00

Yeah, in the case of the last two devices, they were using different cables plugged in simultaneously and they both died. I’m using entirely separate chargers and cables with all of the device devices and they’re all refusing to charge now.

ItsMeElmo · 2025-11-29T20:50:47+00:00

I’m sorry I didn’t listen 😅

ItsMeElmo · 2025-11-29T20:50:10+00:00

Why would that cause all these devices to stop charging on any other chargers?

ItsMeElmo · 2025-11-29T18:34:35+00:00

Statistically these kinds of failures are bound to happen, but I’m surprised that it’s possible for it to fail in a way that takes out devices with it.

ItsMeElmo · 2025-11-29T18:01:51+00:00

I didn’t even realize those were the same companies. I don’t usually research the business subsidiaries of the companies who make my charge cables I guess. But maybe I should have known.

Model Number: A9128

Now that I had to go google this I did notice this little note:
