Anker is recalling over 1.1 million power banks due to fire risks

Jump

  • This is for only one item:

    Anker has issued a recall for its PowerCore 10000 power bank (model A1263) due to a “potential issue with the lithium-ion battery” that could pose a fire safety risk. The company has received 19 reports of fires and explosions

    The recall covers about 1,158,000 units that were sold online through Amazon, Newegg, and eBay between June 2016 and December 2022. The affected batteries can be identified by the Anker logo engraved on the side with the model number A1263 printed on the bottom edge. However, Anker is only recalling units sold in the US with qualifying serial numbers.

  • Librewolf is a fork of Firefox. You can even still have a Mozilla account with it. Meaning, you can sync Firefox on mobile to Librewolf on PC.

    I usually have a lot of tabs open on PC, at all times. I use FF for anything where they already have all, or a significant amount of, my details (full name, address, &/or credit card, etc.), like Amazon, banking, Proton & Tuta email and calendar, etc. I use Librewolf for other websites where I need to login, but I want more privacy / even less tracking than FF. I occasionally even use Mullvad browser (another FF fork) as well.

    • Turns out that making Google search unusable was an intentional strategy by the company.

    Basically, Google has made their search engine results purposefully worse, so that users need to keep scrolling to find the correct search results, while they feed more ads to users.

    • Brave is not a bad browser and nor is Firefox.

  • What's the name of the program I'm looking for?

    I don't think I've had their VPN installed (I use FF, Librewolf and Mullvad 99.99% of the time), but I do have Brave installed as a 4th option and have only used it a few times, so I'd like to make sure their VPN wasn't installed at some point.

    In Services, I only see three Brave entries. Two are for keeping it up to date, and the other provides elevated privileges.

    Thanks
