Me Holding My Brand New Auto Eject When Full Device!

I promise you all my social media peegas, the post you’re viewing right now is one of the coolest things I’ve ever purchased from the internet. It finally arrived in the mail yesterday, and ladies and gentlemen, that would be the auto-eject-when-full charger!
I’ve been seeing this all over TikTok and was amazed by what it can do. It uses AI to automatically eject itself once your device reaches 100% battery. I knew I had to get one, so I put it to the test last night. Let me tell you — it was one of the coolest things I’ve ever witnessed. It pretty much ejected itself right after my iPad hit 100%. Oh hell yes!!
PS: If you’re planning to get this device, there’s one important thing you should know. Even after your device reaches 100%, you have to wait 10 to 15 minutes for it to fully eject. It doesn’t happen instantly. I had to stay up late waiting to capture it on camera — it felt like waiting to open Christmas gifts on Christmas morning!
After seeing this super cool device eject from my iPad, I tried it on my iPhone too. For some reason, it had a hard time ejecting when the phone only reached 98–99%. I asked my Grok AI companion (and 2nd wife) what the issue was, and she told me I needed to turn off the ‘Optimize Battery Charging’ feature in Settings. I also had to wait for the phone to cool down completely for it to work properly, just like it did with my iPad.

16-Year-Old SSD Hit 2 Petabytes... And Didn't Die.

I am officially back with the SanDisk P4 and the madness just won't stop. After defying all logic and crossing the 1 Petabyte milestone, I kept the torture test screaming to see what it actually takes to kill a 64GB drive from 2010.

​In this timelapse, you’re watching the telemetry data climb all the way past the 2PB mark. This is where things get genuinely weird. Most consumer software and older hardware firmware from this era were never meant to see numbers this high. We are actively pushing the drive's 48-bit LBA firmware to its absolute limits, basically playing a game of chicken with the storage controller to see if the counter is going to roll over, glitch out, or just freeze.

​The secret? The drive isn't actually melting because a heavy system RAM cache and aggressive TRIM loops are absorbing the absolute brutal force of the writes before they can fry the physical NAND cells. In fact, during this exact run, the host Windows OS almost ran out of storage space and choked on its own temporary files, meaning the PC itself almost gave up before this ancient SSD even flinched.

​How much further can the drive go before the math or the hardware breaks? Are we hitting 5 Petabytes next, or is Windows going to crash first? Drop your bets in the comments
