Crowdfunded SuperTank battery promises 100W output over USB Type-C

Ryne Hager

I know, typically we avoid covering Kickstarter products, but once in a while a product catches our eye as kinda cool, or kinda luggage lookin'. This time it's the SuperTank, a slightly ridiculous name for a slightly ridiculous battery/portable charger/power bank/whatever. The monstrosity you see above spits a ridiculous 138W in total, with up to 100W of that over a single USB Type-C port. All that power comes pretty cheaply, too, with an $89 "Early Bird" price.

USB Type-C Authentication Program gets started, sounds like it's effectively DRM for Type-C devices

Ryne Hager

Today the USB-IF, the non-profit behind the USB standard's marketing and specifications, revealed the formal launch of its "USB Type-C™ Authentication Program," originally announced back in 2016. The optional program "defines cryptographic-based authentication for USB Type-C chargers and devices." If that sounds like a thinly veiled euphemism for hardware DRM to you, that's because it is.

Moshi's 2nd generation Type-C audio and charging adapter now available for $40

Corbin Davenport

The loss of the headphone jack on the Pixel lineup meant there was no way to use wired headphones and charge your phone at the same time. While there are plenty of goofy-looking adapters for the iPhone that give you a headphone jack with power pass-through, no such adapter has been available for Type-C Android phones - at least not any that worked well.

HTC won't include a Type-C headphone adapter with the U12+

Ryan Whitwam

HTC is going out on a limb with the U12+, which starts at $800 and won't be sold through carriers. You would expect to get all the bells and whistles when you spend that much on a phone, but HTC is cheaping out on the accessories. This phone lacks a headphone jack as so many others do lately. However, the U12+ won't come with an adapter for your 3.5mm headphones, either.

I can have just one cable for my phone, laptop, and tablet - that's pretty fantastic.

Corbin Davenport

USB Type-C is the way of the future, and the new port can already be found in a vast array of laptops, phones, tablets, and other devices.
