norkle replied to norkle on BlitzWolf BW-P16 10000mAh 20W USB-PD QC 3.0 Power Bank US$18.98 (~A$26.10) Delivered @ Banggood
Managed to find a pdf manual, while the specs only say micro input; the diagram shows the USB-C as in/out.

Not needed any more for Linux, depending on what level you want to go I guess.

No idea why you've been neg'ed, I appreciate the alternative point of view. So you regularly use plugs when cycling?

I have the Open Move and don't use plugs while cycling, as I use these specifically to help with awareness. Yes there is wind noise, volume...

Not sure it does easy mesh. You can either do idiot proof app setup, or tweak the channels, DHCP etc. Solid extender, can recommend

You can set it up that way, exactly what I have. It will use one to repeat back to your router.

Yes, but the compilers produce both. Only reason would be if they never did 32, but usually they are older apps that came from 32.

I would argue a 7-9" for reading, bigger than that is bulky and heavy like reading a massive hardback

Also, site says these are for professional use only, so presumably not suitable for home testing.

Mars Confectionery used to have a guarantee to take back any out of date product. I'm guessing there are grey imports.
