This question has been bugging me for years and I keep getting contradictory answers.

Anker's Ask Me Anker Thing series had a question about the biggest charging myth that even tech-savvy people believe. The engineer's answer was that most people assume the charger that comes in the box is automatically the best one for their device. He argued that original chargers represent a baseline of acceptable performance but not necessarily the optimal charging experience.

His reasoning was that most people don't just own one device. If a third-party charger can identify what you've plugged in, deliver the right power profile for each device simultaneously, and even adjust behavior overnight to protect battery health, then it might actually be better suited to how you actually use your stuff in real life.

I'm not fully sold but it's an interesting reframing. What do you guys think? Is the stock charger still the gold standard or has the market moved past it?

To be completely transparent, as a 35-year-old, I am having a hard time dealing with the cosmetic side of needing hearing assistance. I am heavily leaning towards completely hidden, Invisible-In-Canal (IIC) options that sit deep enough to go completely unnoticed. Starkey and Eargo are always heavily advertising these ultra-compact designs.

That said, I have read that shrinking the hardware means sacrificing crucial capabilities like Bluetooth connectivity, battery capacity, and dual directional microphones. Has anyone here prioritized aesthetics over technology, and if so, was it a mistake? Are there any manufacturers that successfully squeeze high-end processing into an invisible format? I care about appearances, but I also need crystal-clear audio during professional meetings. What is the smartest compromise here?

Anyone actually tested the Red Light Therapy irradiance on these new travel minis? They claim 150mW/cm² but it’s running off a basic USB-C. Smells like marketing inflation. Who has a real spectrometer reading?

ppl usually focuses on the lowest fees or more trading pairs when picking an exchange, but i realized the most underrated feature is customer support. When the market goes into a frenzy and your withdrawal gets hung up, you don't want to be stuck waiting for a bot to reply for next day while your capital is at risk.

I searched around here for platforms with the best support and found exchanges like kraken, bydfi, and bitget have fast support and solid reputation about their agents.

Curious what other features you prioritize when choosing exchanges?
