Cables, power adapters, memory sticks...
We keep them religiously as accessories to our new devices, especially when they are scarce and hard to find.
And then we get a second one, and a third one, and keeping it isn't really justified any more.
At some point, we have obsolete accessories from devices long gone and each time we dig into this drawer of 'stuff', we postpone the moment of sorting out and getting rid of the junk.
'I might need that one cable one day', we say, only fooling ourselves.
And I'm guilty of this as anyone. I've got several junk drawers waiting for me to get radical and sort out.
One day, I'll do it.
Not today, though.

Earlier this week we unveiled the Mirage Trio - a replica camera that can simultaneously charge three USB devices. Head over to our FotodioxPro Instagram account to check out our 60 second video where Bohus gets crazy and creative with the USB contraptions that he connect to the the Mirage Trio, including this wonky USB-powered tentacle.
We're excited to introduce the most stylish way to keep your favorite devices charged while displaying your passion for the world of cameras.The Mirage Trio simultaneously charges up to 3 devices, and it's all contained in a handsome camera replica so realistic that you'll want to pick it up and start shooting. The rear dock can charge Apple or Android phones (with or without a case), an integrated compartment within the replica lens charges an Apple Watch, and a full-sized USB jack can charge another USB device of your choosing.

took apart a USB charger purchased at a 'hip shop' to see what chip they used
--
The chip is LS2513 from Linkas (see the datasheet )
you can sort of tell when something is designed completely in china and what was chosen by american/european/japanese designers.
There's a huge body of ultra-cheap consumer-products ICs that are used pretty much exclusively in Taiwan/China, hobbyists never see them.
I always imagine the designer drew the plastic out and then a contract manufacturer overseas picked out this 50 cent chip to use. hey if it works!
Our original iPhone 5S charger blew up in our co-workers's hand.
Fake chargers have been known to be high risk, and there have been deaths reported recently. Honestly, I expected higher quality from an original Apple product. Just to add to the cringe factor, this happened on the toilet power outlet. Gladly, no one was harmed, despite the proximity the fingers to the actual short circuit as you can see on imgur. Also note that the mains pins are not damaged: the actual burst was on the USB side.
Be very careful with *any* device charger. Never use your phone while it charges, never use another device while they're both charging as it may form a circuit. Just because it is 5 Volts USB it does not make it safe. There is a power line just 3 milimeters away from the USB jack inside this enclosure.
These switch-mode chargers are getting smaller and smaller and the physical shielding between 220VAC mains and the trusted USB output is literally just millimeters away. Distance means safety in electricity, and as great as these little charges look, I think safety's being compromised for aesthetics here.
No matter how efficient new switched-mode power supplies are, there's an informal law in electricity: distance means safety.
Be extra careful with any charger, *including* original brand name chargers.

Revolutionary New USB Charging Device Set To Launch via
Crowdfunding Campaign.
Mobile devices to charge 400% faster than standard USB chargers.
Los Angeles, CA – July 7, 2015. USBeast Electronics has developed an on-the-go USB charging device that will change the way consumers charge their mobile phones, tablets, cameras and even the latest Macbook and Google Chromebooks. With the ability to utilize 2.1 amps of charging power, USBeast can charge a dead iPhone at least 6 times to a full charge without the use of a wall outlet and do so 4 times as fast.
Increased use of technology in all areas of our lives has highlighted an already nagging problem: Too many electronic devices and not enough charging capability. On site workers, outdoor enthusiasts and people living under the constant threat of a natural disaster are increasingly faced with the problem of finding adequate ways to charge their USB powered devices.
The USBeast solves that problem like no other USB charger on the market today. With millions of cordless power tools and camping accessories already sold, there’s an established mass market of people who can use their cordless tool batteries to charge their mobile devices. The USBeast utilizes many different brands and voltages of cordless tool batteries to simultaneously charge 2 mobile devices. For example, an iPhone and iPad can both go from 0% to fully charged at the same time, without the use of a wall outlet. There is no other charger on the planet with that capability.
After several prototypes, the USBeast design team has worked feverishly to approve the version which is now ready for mass production. The final USBeast design has been field tested and sold online in small quantities, receiving positive feedback from both consumers and testers alike. USBeast Electronics has a live crowd funding campaign on Kickstarter.com and pre-orders of the USBeast are now being taken! The company is also selling USBeast Brand merchandise to assist in generating the financial resources necessary to mass produce and bring the USBeast to market. When the funding goal of $15,000 is reached, USBeast Electronics will begin full scale manufacturing with the finished product proudly being made in the USA.
"We are committed to revolutionizing the way consumers charge their USB powered devices and dedicated to making this product a huge success,” says Jonathan Williams, founder of USBeast Electronics and The Artisans Studio. “We will strive to provide the best quality product and update our backers every step of the way.” Williams continues, “And provide the assurance that all USBeast orders will be shipped on time.”
This Kickstarter.com campaign will end on August 21, 2015
USBeast Electronics is on a mission to create the next generation of mobile electronic charging products for the current and next generation of mobile devices. For more information contact: or email sales@getusbeast.com.

I've seen products similar to this for a couple of years, but never really needed them since our old phones would hold a charge for up to two weeks. Now that we have smartphones -- which can barely hold a charge for a day -- it makes more sense to have such a product.

In order to celebrate his marriage, Brenno de Winter gave a big "Winter is Coming" party at Hackerspace Hack42 especially for all his friends in the hacker-scene. Unfortunately, the bride was taken ill and was unable to attend.
The evening before the party, we had devised a little plan for the presents and to troll the newlyweds a bit as well. Brenno and Barbara would be receiving identical pink waffle makers. About eleven in total, spread out during the festivities.
