Hands-on: BMX SolidSafe Solid-State Battery Pack [Video]

9to5mac.com Sponsored Post 2025-12-14 10:36:31

Recently there have been over 1.7 million mobile power banks recalled. The reason? Most power banks still use lithium-ion cells filled with flammable liquid electrolytes that present a real risk. Drop it, leave it in heat, or overcharge it, puncture it – and it can swell, and even ignite causing fire. How do powebank makers address this problem? BMX is launching its SolidSafe mobile power bank on Kickstarter with a solid core that significantly reduces the amount of flammable liquid inside the

Germany's identity crisis: The trains no longer run on time

BERLIN — Germany: the land of beer, sausage and trains that run on time. Actually, make that the land where 56 percent of trains run on time. More precisely (or imprecisely, depending on how much of a rush you are in), the land where 56 percent of trains arrive within six minutes of the scheduled time — which is the cushion Deutsche Bahn, the national railroad company, allows itself for an “on-time” arrival. In Germany, punctuality is part of the national ethos. So to hear Germans talk about it

What we like about it: For those who want to avoid chemicals altogether, a lemon eucalyptus insect repellent is a gentler way to stave off bugs and their bites. I tried a few different lemon eucalyptus bug sprays, and Natrapel came out on top. Lacking the two chemicals proven to repel insects, it's natural to think this bug spray isn't as effective as its DEET- or picaridin-containing counterparts. The CDC and EPA recognize lemon eucalyptus oil as an effective insect repellent. The Natrapel bott
