Takes fucking forever to charge

2018-09-07 14:35:11 UTC  

Nice, I have 2 x 14 000

2018-09-07 14:35:24 UTC  

Seemed more handy to me rather than having one huge brick

2018-09-07 14:35:41 UTC  

I have a single quick charge 3.0 10,000

2018-09-07 14:36:02 UTC  

Any more is just wasted space in my backpack/pocket

2018-09-07 14:36:58 UTC  

I have one with quick charge and one without. Because I had to replace one that I bought in Taiwan two years ago. I had it in the airplane a few weeks ago and it started getting thicker and thicker

2018-09-07 14:37:23 UTC  

When I landed in Bangkok I asked the airport security if they can dispose it for me because I feel uncomfortable taking that into the plane

2018-09-07 14:37:39 UTC  

The pressure difference of the cabin probably damaged it

2018-09-07 14:39:26 UTC  

Instead now I got this beauty, it's much smaller than my old ones in size, charges quicker and has about the same capacity

What I don't get is why they are still relatively big compared to smartphones though. Take the redmi note 3 battery with 4000 mah, why can't there be a 4000 mah power bank in that size?

2018-09-07 14:40:37 UTC  

(or slightly bigger to add the required ports)

Handlet πŸ˜‚ πŸ‘Œ

2018-09-07 14:41:03 UTC  

After all this time, he is confirmed handlet

2018-09-07 14:41:11 UTC  

I don't know anyone with bigger hands than me...

2018-09-07 14:41:44 UTC  

You have no known-size object to compare my hands to on that picture

2018-09-07 14:41:55 UTC  

Diq

2018-09-07 14:42:33 UTC  

Also, one could roughly extrapolate the size of your hand based on the size of the USB ports

2018-09-07 14:42:50 UTC  

But there's no need, you're clearly handlet

2018-09-07 14:43:07 UTC  

Ok now back to power banks

2018-09-07 14:43:46 UTC  

"H-haha anyway"

2018-09-07 14:44:21 UTC  

Passports are all roughly the same size. Place your passport on your open hand and take a picture

2018-09-07 14:44:31 UTC  

So we can compare all our hand sizes with similar objects

2018-09-07 14:44:51 UTC  

>passport

@porco mostly due good quality batteries what are used in phones cost slightly more than the bullshit used on battery banks (cost savings)

2018-09-07 14:45:07 UTC  

Why would I ever want to leave America? I'm already in paradise

2018-09-07 14:45:35 UTC  

And yet regardless of your willingness to spend more money, you can't find power banks with same quality batteries

2018-09-07 14:46:12 UTC  

Even boomer meme loyality brands like varta make huge banks with low capacity

2018-09-07 14:46:59 UTC  

Also redmi note 3 pro replacement batteries are sub 10$ and that density would already be great

2018-09-07 15:46:59 UTC  

@porco Because the powerbank you're using uses 18650 cells, thinner ones uses lipo pouches

2018-09-07 16:35:48 UTC  

fucking based

2018-09-07 16:35:56 UTC  

xiaomi soft launch in benelux

2018-09-07 16:36:44 UTC  

Will it be cheaper than ordering from China, though

2018-09-07 16:36:52 UTC  

doubt it

2018-09-07 16:37:10 UTC  

You can get a lot of Xiaomi stuff here, but it's way more expensive than grabbing it off the internet

2018-09-07 16:37:42 UTC  

nvm its just phones

2018-09-07 16:37:44 UTC  

I sleep

2018-09-07 16:41:58 UTC  

wish it was a boutique like they have in paris

2018-09-07 16:47:32 UTC  

Windows would get better if it implemented Gnome 3 as its desktop environment
