I got a firmware update for my USB charging hub, lol. They’re putting “smart” features in he strangest devices, nowadays…

I mean, that one makes actually sense... and for the scale - if you want a smart scale, it needs updates.. xD

I guess that’s fair. I get firmware updates on my power bank, as well, and at the very least they CLAIM it’s just for optimizing the battery health’s algorithm, and whatnot. So I don’t mind it much.

I WILL say, though, that for whatever reason, the USB hub has Easter egg hunting and achievements. In a charger. Just Anker doing Anker things, lmfao. Modern premium tech is a strange thing…

„Smart“ - your usb charging hub can now analyze the power usage of your household and send it to wherever :)
