This sounds interesting, I've always wanted to get into the DIY powerbank space but I'm not sure how to begin.

I want a decent clamshell not a phablet and I want part of it to be thin.

If enough people buy the machines, they really don't care what the people say who do not buy the machines ;)

That would reduce the bandwidth between the CPU and RAM. Makes more sense to be able to plug in more/new cpus

I can't wait for Apple to invent Hybrid Crossfire.

>And I think anker sells mostly online on Amazon
OK, I guess that means that Anker is legally entitled to murder their other customers and burn their houses down

Dont forget durability of that folding bit. I recon it has to be a separate panel array over the curve so if it does break, it can simply be disabled at the curve and continue as a 2 screen device.

And to add to that, Innovation in one field doesnt necessarily mean innovation in another field that relies on the other.
Bluetooth has gone on all the way upto v5.3 with a shit tonne of features. Meanwhile the average equipment manufacturer barely even needs v4.0 to get all their intended tasks to work. And the implementation nightmare of hardware limitation vs software/protocol limitation is absurd. Bluetooth Audio is straight up trash and the only way to get good audio is to design your own proprietary profile and not share it with anyone, which is what every major device manufacturer does.

I have been using zendure recently and have not looked back. They are also significantly faster To charge than the ankers

A1366 max input is 30W, so if you're using a 30W adapter to charge the A1366 power bank, it is using its full effort to charge it. In such a compact size and load, heat should be expected.

If you think Anker's quality is bad, Ugreen is much, much worse.

The recall statement does not say that a component is faulty, it's just that a component (NTC thermistor) is misplaced during production, and so could press on and/or rupture the battery cells.

Well shit. I have one of these somewhere in my apartment fully charged but I don’t know where it is.

Weird. My wife and I both have the flip 4 and have had no problems. Even got some sand in the hinge abd just grinded it by folding. Still works fine

It's just someone's fun personal project... This isn't something going to market, someone just had an idea and wanted to document their process to completion meanwhile sharing all of the resources in case someone else wanted to make one of their own.

we actually don’t need to reinvent to wheel or anything like that, we just need government to run public housing like the did the first time!

Reply to comment by A_Large_Grade_A_Egg in Scientists develop AR-based navigated contact lenses using 3D printing by diacewrb
Just to be clear the paper is drawing fixed icons, so there's no real FOV. (The contact follows your eye). You could probably make a 7-segment display and such with this, but it's not pixels. There are batteries that can fit into contact lenses already like with Mojo's setup. That one has a monochromatic MicroLED display which is quite a bit more advanced with eye tracking and does what you're thinking.
Since electrochromic uses so little power it can probably run for a while on a small battery though displaying directional symbols, time, or simple icons to the user. The supplemental videos at the bottom shows how fast it can switch and shows various patterns they printing turning on and off.
I quite like how transparent it is when in the off state. There is a optical device for AR displays called an opacity filter that hasn't been invented. If they can get an electrochromic solution to go from transparent to opaque black with a lot of levels and make the resolution high enough they could have a really nice product. (If it switches at 240Hz+ though. That's probably the deal breaker as this switches very slowly).
