@ikanreed I don't even know what that means and I agree with it. Which takes some doing, really.

@Carl_Zimmer Interesting that evolution can cause a fish to move one of its eyes to the other side of its body, but has yet to persuade the recurrent laryngeal nerve in mammals and other tetrapods not to go on a very long detour around the aorta.

@makerbymistake

Never mind, I'm seeing comments in forums to the effect that 22.5W is only delivered in a device-specific charging mode that uses a higher voltage. A Pi 5 will not activate that mode nor be able to use it.

Sorry for the misdirect.

@makerbymistake

Well, chosen almost at random from a search for "power bank 22.5w", this one, for example:

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Foldable-Connector-Portable-Charger/dp/B0C6XK77HJ/

(I've had pretty good experiences with Anker. I have no idea if these will deliver that much current when talking to an SBC, or for that matter anything that isn't a phone designed to a particular spec. And then there's the question of "can it simultaneously charge and dischaarge, allowing it to act as a UPS?...)

@makerbymistake

(Of course it's possible they won't provide that much current without some sort of negotiation that the SBC doesn't know how to do.)

@makerbymistake

I'm seeing a few power banks on Amazon with "22.5 watts fast charging". That's not far short of 5A.

This is the most SF thing I've seen in the news yet. It's like something @davidbrin would have come up with in the early 1990s.

@kravietz It's a good start.

@davidbrin A colleague of mine interviewed in a green suit. The hiring manager told him one of the conditions was he never wear that suit again.

@johncarlosbaez

Unfortunately engagement algorithms are good at what they do. People are used to getting a certain kind of emotional and neurological reward from social media, and open-source community platforms haven't developed into something that replaces that.

@brianklaas Watch out for clever, sarcastic edits by too-funny passersby

@morgfair I'm sure the usual suspects are already insisting that vaccines did it.

@w7voa I know, right Vlad? I mean who would make up a story about another country's intentions? Is there no honor in the world???

Snort.

@SNerd @w7voa Provided it's AI-generated and in the style of a Roman mosaic.

@w7voa "Prominently displayed" on Twitter/X just means you're paying $8/mo and therefore whatever shite you come out with floats to the top.
