The Zendure Passport III worldwide travel adapters changed my reality in 2022 (~$70). It sounds boring, but man. I've had many worldwide plug adapters in my day, and many chargers. But the Zendure has a 65W USB-C fast charger in it, plus 3 more USB-C and a single USB-A. When I travel (and that includes "traveling to the coworking place"), I used to bring:

* A plug adapter

* My big ol' laptop charger brick and cord

* A medium-sized USB-A charger for phone, headphones, power bank

* A USB-C charger for iPad, Kindle

* A small power strip because I had to plug several things in

Now I just bring the single Passport III adapter. Done. It has a single power outlet pass-through, but I haven't even needed it because the only thing I ever plug in is chargers.

I went to buy this months ago and when I saw that it had a tipping field in the check out it left such a bad taste in my mouth I just went with another brand. Tipping!? To use their online shop??

This couldn't read more like a paid ad.

This is a thread of product recommendations, a list of features and why you like a product is definitely appropriate.

it's only a matter of time before all these threads and those on reddit are ridden with ChatGPT based posts pushing products (and more). It's now possible to write up convincing sounding content and copy with a product placement woven in with little to no effort.

Then the poster just needs a couple of aged accounts to publish the posts, and a handful of botnets to inflate vote counts to boost visibility. It can be extra convincing with some shill bot accounts that post (controversial) replies which spark more organic interactions. These comments may then trigger ranking algos to further boost visibility, to drive more platform engagement.

I just bought this, it's great, only issue is it sometimes is too bulky to fit into some sockets.

Thank you for this suggestion - just picked up two.
