I bought a 30000mAh (111Wh) powerbank knowing that it was a fake - impossible given the price, size and weight. I got 50Wh out of it. It cost €20 which is €0.4/Wh, not bad! It does PD 5/9/12v 20W and PD charging too. Four outputs. ("99Wh" so that it is airline friendly")

This is why it only has 50% of the stated capacity. 2 of 6 batteries are missing and they've put lower-capacity cells in.

A company, njhra, is selling something, probably nothing, using my image and name. Hilarious auto-scraping content BS. $95 bucks for...me and my Tweet: x.com/chippy/status/17328112…

Even funnier is that the product itself is absolute BS too. I'm just about to pull it apart because I think half of the 99Wh (not even possible) powerbank is empty.

I will try to read more while commuting this winter. I'm not sure I really need the GoPro because I think I might still need to take the smartphone for authenticator and maps. Phone data will be off! Kindle Hero 9 105 4G

Twitter redirects boosted x[.com] visibility in search this month while twitter[dot]com remained flat. Now x[.com] is falling. Big numbers too. x[.com]was the 163rd biggest website in UK search at its peak. If Twitter fails in search it opens up a lot of space for others. 🍿

I counted the 'factors' I designed into my product database via which I could choose and 'rank' products coming out of that database. It turns out that I don't use half of the 'factors' that I designed into my database in my final 'algorithm.' #googleleak

Off to #digitalolympus we go. See you in Eindhoven, probably still wet from the rainclouds that threaten my route today.

This Google leak is a fascinating insight into a document information database but to me it looks like an internal system for testing algos. All algo teams would test using this and then the results would help develop the efficient (quick, cheap) version for production.

Ok, let's get this party started! A couple weeks ago I said I was publishing the most important thing I ever wrote. I was wrong. Documentation related to the Google Search algorithm leaked and I spent the weekend tearing it apart. ipullrank.com/google-algo-le… ✌🏾

I bought a portable DAB radio from Aldi this week. While it only takes 0.5 Watt to play music, the same as music streaming on a Pixel 6, it's over 10x the power needed to run my most efficient portable analogue FM radio. It's a bargain travel FM/DAB/MP3 player though. €22.
How much power does music streaming take from your smartphone? It's impressively efficient according to my tests. Nerdy data here: umpcportal.com/2024/02/strea…
