Re:Anker PowerPort PD 1 USB-C Wall Charger Teardown by chx on Tuesday January 08, 2019 @03:38AM (#18854195)
When Innergie was running their Kickstarter, then named 55CC, they were getting some coverage in 2017. It retails now as Innergie 60C. They also sell a Magicable with it which makes the charger usable with many older non USB-C laptops but alas it seems it's only for the Innergie charger only , it's not a standard part. Lenovo has a similar USB C to older "slim tip" cable, the 03X7530, which they claim -- but so far this is unverified -- to be a standard part. It ships with their power bank, independently it seems to be unobtanium at this point.

Absolutely not, I am trying to find a shoulder bag for my new on call kit (the One Mix Yoga 2S makes it possible for me to not haul a 14" laptop for once-in-three-months-but-need-to-answer-them-immediately emergencies), the upcoming Dasung not-eReader will be a monitor for it) and it's amazing how much crap simple search finds and you need forums and reddit to find anything useful. There's no search engine for bags by dimensions, even worse, many webpages for bags do not have pocket dimensions on them (sometimes even the amount of pockets is unclear!) and I am like, why do you even have a webpage? Maxpedition is the gold standard for the latter (look at the dimensions tab of https://www.maxpedition.com/products/beefy-pocket-organizer?... ) but they don't have a by dimension search either. This is https://www.pacsafe.com/metrosafe-ls100-anti-theft-cross-bod... typical of a terrible web page. It touts the anti theft features but what you can pack in there is a total mystery. The photo makes it well visible there are two compartments but how big they are? You won't learn it from this page for sure. Finally, neither manufacturers nor bag reviwers will pack a bag to the gills and take a trip to the nearest airport and put the bag in a cage and show whether it fits personal item, carry on size or not. This would be, you know, useful.
