  I love Anker but I think even when you order from their website they dropship or use FBA so you aren’t avoiding Jeff Mart

    I do my best. It is frustrating when an ‘independent’ storefront uses Amazon Logistics /FBA aha. And I can’t easily avoid Amazon’s primary source of income AWS, but I can reduce their e-commerce traffic at least. I love “Jeff Mart”

  Just hopping in to glaze Anker a little bit too. I’ve had their 6ft prime (had to look up the model) braided cable for over a year now. It lives knotted up in my work/school bag. I’m not easy on any of my stuff and it’s worked perfectly and looks as good as new.

  When I’m at work the cable is sitting on the floorboard of an ambulance cooking to death because the transmission is directly under the cab and heats the floor up so much I use it to warm my lunch. It’s been ripped out of its spot, stepped on, caught and pulled on things and just generally beaten up and still works great

    High power but USB2.0 speed though

      Apple users won’t know the difference - I know a lot of the time data and power transfer numbers don’t matter to the average user, but I feel it’s goddamn criminal to use USB C but artificially restrict (for their non Pro phones ofc) to 2.0 speeds, while charging the same for their products as other, far better equipped phones. Same with Samsung and their incessant restrictions on any cable that’s not Samsung, offering like 60W of charging speed max. Meanwhile all the other Androids are living it up with USB3.2, max 10Gbps, and >100W since 2023.

        I recently bought a keychain for about $6 that’s basically a 6 inch USB4 cable with 240W PD and 80gbps transfer speed. I can’t imagine making low-speed cables makes any sense nowadays.

  And boy have those rabbits killed a lot of cables. My big boy chewed through the thick plastic spiral cable sheath. No cable is powerful enough to be bunny proof is what I’ve learned.

    They have powerful little toofs! Have you seen a skull or mockup? Took me seeing a model in the vet’s office to realise they have teeth way further in, loads of molars for the cromch

      They blep out the pieces, and the energy is mostly harmless it seems. They love that spicy hay. Can confirm mine were fine with a 24v 0.5a current at the most (partner’s laptop cable while charging) but generally they are tiny and can easily die from it, in theory
