Technology
News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.
What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacks
Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.
6. Off-topic tangents
Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.
7. Instance rules may apply

Idk where they got the picture from but 4300mah in aa size would be insane. Thats like 2.5 times as much capacity as how much the best ones provide currently.
Was gonna say maybe they're 18650s but it Def says AA on them. I'm gonna go with it's a made up / AI-generated image
Yeah probably tho i kinda wish they existed lol
They would have to be 21700 cells to hold 4.3AH. 18650 cells top out around 3.6AH. While it is possible to make higher capacity cells, there are some major downsides with doing so.
It's just a stock photo used since at least 2017 that appears to have had the 4300mah text added on more recently.
Looks like AI to me. Also, those would most likely be NiMH batteries, which AFAIK don't have any lithium.
The way its packaged with the indent at the top would make it a lithium cell but yeah its fake anyways
Maybe they’re just ultra fire batteries?

One time I went to a local shop with cheap electronics etc, and they sold...
UItraFirebatteries, with aniinstead of anl! Double fake 😄In case anyone’s curious: it is likely a cell wrapper misprint/typo.
4300mWh AA lithium ion cells are a standard extended-life chemistry. 2866 mAh is their actual rated capacity.
Edit: 2866 x 1.5 = 4,300
There are plenty of cells that size over 3000mah.
The highest capacity one that is properly commercially available is the vapcell f15 which is known for quality control issues. Its advertised capacity is 1500mah but multiple sources measured it at an actual usable capacity of 1250-1350.
14500s are fairly uncommon.... I assumed these were the much more common 18650.
It’s probably an AI gen image.
