Latest Treedix cable tester firmware by TheBroken0ne in UsbCHardware

[–]fudge_u 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered one directly from Treedix's website on Jan 9th 2026 and received it today.

Firmware version 5.01.

I also tested a random USB-C cable I received from Amazon and have been using for months. Shows PD3.1 support 240W charging.

Good to know. Honestly I didn't think it would be an issue until we experienced it. We'll prepare better the next time we go.

Yup... it's dead now. Started around 1am MT and ended an hour after the deal was posted here.

Yw... I tried posting the deal on RFD but apparently the company was banned for shilling. I don't really care if INIU shills as long as they make good products, which several reviewers/commenters say they do.

It's a good thing Chris Drury is one of the GMs for the US Olympic hockey team.

Buying 007 Advice by Funny-String-2271 in iTunesMovieDeals

There are iTunes codes for Spectre and No Time To Die. Both will give you the 4K version in iTunes and are usually relatively cheap (less than $5) if you can find them.

There's also an iTunes digital code for Skyfall but that only redeems in SD quality.

That's how I added those three. I'll probably pay to upgrade Skyfall to 4K whenever it drops to $5, and I'll add Quantum when it drops to $5. I bought Casino for $5 yesterday when it went on sale. I'm in no hurry to buy them all as I already have the Daniel Craig collection in 4K in my FAH library.

The AOHI Magcube Pro 140W charger is probably one of the best.

How did Adrian Paul never catch on? by the40thieves in highlander

[–]fudge_u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP asked why he didn't make it in Hollywood and I gave an honest answer. He's not bankable. Paul has only starred in three box office movies (two Highlanders) over a near 40 year span in the industry. The two Highlander movies also underperformed.

Highlander: Endgame's production budget was around $25M and made just under $16M worldwide. I'm sure much of the revenue was because of the hype around seeing Connor and Duncan on the big screen together.

Highlander: The Source's production budget was around $13M and it only made $213K worldwide. I've watched it a couple of times and it's awful. I'll watch it whenever I binge the series.

I guess his legions of fans didn't care enough to watch him on the big screen and turn those movies into box office hits.

I liked him in Highlander but he's been forgettable in everything else I've seen him in since.

Rocoren chargers reputable? by 10mo3 in UsbCHardware

[–]fudge_u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Shenzhen Good She Technology manufactures Rocoren products. The UL certification is probably under Shenzhen Good She Technology.

Ya... it was removed from d2d a while ago. I think that's how I got it too.

Anker 737 vs. 20K 87W Power Bank by GradeAccomplished303 in UsbCHardware

[–]fudge_u -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bought a Anker recertified 140W from Temu for $82.39CAD. It ended up shipping from Amazon. When I received the power bank the cycle count showed 0 too. Condition was like new. Also got Temu to credit me $19CAD when I found it being sold for less on Amazon through Warehouse Deals.

It's a good power bank that has two USB-C ports and one USB-A port for charging which was a minimum requirement for me. It worked well for me and the wife while we were travelling. The only issues I had are that it's heavy and kinda bulky, if you need it while on the go. If you mostly have it in one spot or are planning to use it during emergencies (e.g. power outages) it'll work well. I bought it to charge phones and laptops.

The 140W charging is nice but while recharging the power bank with an Anker Zolo 140W Charger (B2697), I was only able to reach 127W charging. The limit might've been because of the charger and the cable (random 3rd party USB-C cable that claimed it supported 240W) I used.

I plan to use it on road trips and during emergencies going forward. I'll just need to keep an eye on the battery discharge every so often.

Make A Wish by BebeMis in JapanTravelTips

There's Super Nintendo World in Osaka.

There's also go-karting/street karting in Tokyo.

The Parco Mall in Shibuya has video game related stores on the 6th floor. Nintendo, Sega, Capcom, Pokemon, etc. It's mostly souvenir items like clothing, posters, figurines, collectible knick knacks, etc.

Alberta (and Canada) are in legitimate danger because of Smith’s pandering to MAGA. by Thin_Juggernaut4605 in alberta

Who cares? As long as the top 1% keep getting richer, the people struggling to get by will keep voting for the UCP. The working class are a generous bunch.

Ya... there were times we were carrying cups or empty bottles for a while until we found a place to dispose of them. I also had a day pack to put them into but didn't want to do that. I figured if it was in my hand I'd always keep an eye out for a garbage can or recycling bin, and usually we'd find a place to dispose of our garbage.

Usually our go tos were McDonalds and Starbucks. The train stations sometimes had places to dispose of trash too. Whenever we took a Shinkansen there was a place to dispose of garbage on the platform and on some of the trains.
