A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Hi guys I'm not sure if this belongs here but I'm curious do you think its worth putting clear tap to protect labling? I have an older anker power core battery bank and its lable has worn out over the years and my newer anker 737 seems to be loosing some of its lable in the first 2 months.

Not sure if I am being reasonable or just being paranoid.

This has been the same in the US for some time. They don't generally give you any funny looks unless you're walking through with a 30 lb battery with an inverter attached to it or something.

I wouldn't worry too much but your mileage may vary. Pun intended.

The rules haven't changed (much), but enforcement has been stepped up with better scanners that catch a lot of minor violations that used to be missed. I wouldn't count on things that went through before necessarily going through now.

Just having the product listing with spec should be fine, but the way CPB doesn't seem to care about civil rights, I suppose anything could happen.

Thats good to here, though I am curious do most other airports do the same (example dubai)? Last I flew was 2-3 years ago.

Worst case, see if you can have a product listing with specs so they can visually confirm. Pretty easy solution. Heck, mine doesn't even display spec, but would be easy enough to look up.

With any luck though, the TSA loses funding, amirite?
