This battery costs around a hundred dollars jsyk

I just got one of these a month ago for my trip to Kenya. Worked great for recharging mine, wife and friends phones. Didn't get hot at all. Any reco's for replacement? 2 x USB-C ports a must have.

I got rid of mine immediately, with the exception of two that point towards the street.

I originally had ring until they got bought out by Amazon.

now I’m at the point where i can’t trust any company with my privacy so I’m in the process of building my own security camera network from the ground up. Having some problems with chip shortages but it’s going well.

Anybody using a kindle paper white would tell you e-paper has come a long way. It’s still not perfect, but that’s part of the charm of this project, making an imperfect “analog” image out of a digital object that is also DIY. Ivy is tant printer has nothing to do with this project.

That’s kind of the point of R&D though. “Hey, we can do this” “why would you need to do that?” “Idk but we can do it now” then it sits on the shelf until an appropriate problem comes along

Honest mistakes are minor. This was not honest, or a mistake.

They marketed these devices as specifically “no cloud” security, because of the concerns over Ring and other devices like that.

Then it turns out that it was all made up.

Their devices sent images to the cloud. Unencrypted. AND SAVED IT THERE

Their devices sent video to the cloud. Unencrypted. For anyone with the right url to view.

There were numerous, numerous failings in the security model of this supposedly secure device. They knowingly went to market with it. They avoided owning up to it for 3 months. They continued to sell the defective product during that time frame.

This was not an honest mistake.

"with proof of purchase and order number". Given that power banks are often a disress purchase not made online, who keeps receipts around for such a low value item?

I don’t. it was an honest mistake in their software that has nothing to do with simple battery packs

Pebble users would like a word...

It’s just not worth it

Nobody is questioning that!

Their “no cloud” security cameras would actually allow third party access to unencrypted streams.

It took 3 months for them to come clean about the issue. An absolute disaster from a security perspective - multiple, multiple failings were required for those products to hit market.

Man just invented the printed phot

Those bbq hot pockets are on point though. I think we can all agree on that.

Out of the loop here, what happened with Eufy? Never even heard of Eufy before.

That's not what e-paper is.

Im a huge fan of this brand. Love their products.

Still the best powerbank I own, wouldn’t buy anything else from them

Understandable. I'm personally not freaking out about it but I get why some would.

After the Eufy thing I’m not sure I trust them enough to plug a USB device of theirs into anything of mine.

I’m not as worried about fires.
