#USB continues to infiltrate our lives...

I might be at the point where I need to keep some things powered by USB, rather than constantly swapping a charging cable. So I thought I'd look for a multi-point charger, one that seems reliable, not a #fireHazard, that sort of thing. What comes up?

Lots of variations on this... 😞

"Truly Universal Outlet" by XKCD comic (Fediverse mirrors @xkcd @xkcdbot ) - Maybe next XKCD should make a table showing consequences of this universal outlet idea, rows of plug type and voltage versus columns of socket type by voltage. For example, a 110V device🔌 plugged into 250V socket⚡ catches fire🔥. Do not try this at home, work, school or anywhere you aren't prepared to put out the fire.🧯🧑‍🚒 https://xkcd.com/3186/ #FireHazard #electronics #tech #oops #WTF #parody #humor

🔥🤔 Ah, the "revolutionary" update where duct tape does the trick! Who knew the pinnacle of tech #innovation was just a lithium battery fire hazard away? 🚒🙄 Thanks, #Fairphone, for proving that when in doubt, just tape it out! 🎉🔧

When it comes to #firehazard #reduction, could this method actually be the #GOAT?

Imagine having a connector so bad, GPU partners of NVIDIA are using RGB for something actually functional, like using them to warn when the 12 Volt High Failure Connectors are about to make your day really interesting.

This issue alone is why I will never buy an NVIDIA card. It doesn't matter if they make better GPUs, release the drivers under a FOSS license, or even sell their cards at actually affordable prices.

I do not want to live dangerously over something that should not be a concern in 1995. Let alone 2025. #NVIDIA #GPUs #FireHazard

Lilbits: Anker Power Bank recall, Steam for Apple Silicon, and the latest Xbox handheld rumor

There are literally thousands of power banks available for folks looking for a portable battery that you can use to recharge your phone, tablet, and other gear on the go. Anker makes some of the most popular models, so you could say the company’s products are hot. But sometimes they might be a little too hot.

Case in point: Anker has just issued a recall for PwoerCore 10,000 mAh power banks […]

Just found where a small #Fire (?) had broken out in an box of stored household goods.

Concave #ShavingMirror appears to have focused the winter sun's rays enough to have an edge & folded corner of a cardboard box ignite &/or combust enough for the side flap of the box to fall off. #FireHazard

Smelt the smoke 2 days ago, looked around, thought, "Ah neighbours"

Last #SurpriseFire - closed bag of leaves in neighbour's back yard igniting in the sunshine/composting & the fire spreading a bit.

Today I learned that the fire hazard of a house with a car is substantially more than that of a house with photovoltaic and house storage system and an electric vehicle, that is substantially more than a house with PV and HSS, that is more than a house with only PV, that is more than only a house with a base risk of 0.28%.

I watched a news story that stated any Tesla that makes contact with salt water should not be parked within 70 feet of any dwelling.

I am not buying one of those!

The GCFI outlet in my little bathroom got burnt. Fortunately I saw the smoke and managed to turn it off before things got out of hand. So I guess GCFIs don't protect from burning plugs? 🤷‍♀️!

Whatever.

Culprit was an el cheapo hairdryer. 🙄 Gonna write #FireHazard on it before I dispose of it lest someone tries to use it. I do label my #trash sometimes. I've left a few items in the refuse room labeled "Not trash. Yours, if you want it."

Wondering if I can replace this myself... or call a pro. 🤔?

Lilbits: Oh the Humane-ity: AI startup is hoping HP will buy it for $1 billion

The Humane Ai Pin was supposed to be the first in a new category of wearable, AI-first devices. But it arrived this year to universally awful reviews citing its limited functionality, spotty reliability, awful battery life, and high price, just to name a few problems.
Last month we learned that Humane was looking to sell the company. Now a new report suggests […]

In my mind I imagined that the new, larger surge protectors would magically tidy my impressive mess of cables behind my desk. My mind was very wrong.

And this is why I don't buy cheap electronics. Same for USB chargers, be careful when you buy off-brand ones.
