The best power banks you can buy in 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

zdnet.com Adrian Kingsley-Hughes 2026-01-22 09:27:38

Almost everyone I know owns at least one power bank, and the ubiquity of these portable chargers means that you can pick up cheap units in gas stations and dollar stores. But my extensive testing suggests that these are false economy, and you're very likely buying something that at best won't last long, or at worse could even be dangerous. This is why I recommend buying power banks from reputable brands. Don't worry -- I still work to keep those brands honest by extensively testing every power

Hackers Can Tamper With Train Brakes Using Just a Radio, Feds Warn

gizmodo.com Rhett Jones 2026-01-22 09:10:56

The flaw has to do with the protocol used in a train system known as the End-of-Train and Head-of-Train. A Flashing Rear End Device (FRED), also known as an End-of-Train (EOT) device, is attached to the back of a train and sends data via radio signals to a corresponding device in the locomotive called the Head-o
