Quite funny how LLMs can confidently answer these wrongly. The current free model of chatgpt fares much better though:

What’s the world record for walking across the English Channel?

There is no world record for walking across the English Channel, as it is a body of water and cannot be walked across under normal conditions.

When was the Golden Gate Bridge transported for the second time across Egypt?

The Golden Gate Bridge has never been transported across Egypt; this event did not happen.

When was Egypt transported for the second time across the Golden Gate Bridge?

Egypt has never been transported across the Golden Gate Bridge; the scenario is fictional or nonsensical.

What do fried eggs (sunny side up) eat for breakfast?

Fried eggs don’t eat; they are inanimate and not living beings.

Why does President Obama not have a prime number of friends?

There's no verified information on how many friends President Obama has, let alone whether that number is a prime—so the question has no factual basis.

How many pieces of sound are there in a typical cumulonimbus cloud?

Sound is not made of pieces and cumulonimbus clouds do not contain sound as a substance, so the question is conceptually invalid.

How many cumulus clouds are there in a mile-high vase?

Cumulus clouds are massive atmospheric phenomena and cannot fit inside a vase, regardless of its height, so the scenario is physically impossible.

How many parts will a violin break into if a jelly bean is dropped on it?

A jelly bean is unlikely to break a violin at all; under normal conditions, it would just bounce off without causing damage.

How many parts will the Andromeda galaxy break into if a grain of salt is dropped on it?

Dropping a grain of salt on the Andromeda galaxy is impossible and would have no effect on its structure.

Definitely not as funny anymore. (I do use a custom system prompt to make chatgpt more boring and useful. These are all answers from the free version of chatgpt)

But in Sydney you will pay the surcharge only when you get off or on at the actual airport station. Just using that line and passing the airport will cost you nothing extra. Usually less than 4 AUD for the whole trip.

Plenty of good gan chargers indeed. But nothing really like this. A compact, flat desktop charger with replaceable wire for use in any country.

Searching for a 'desktop charger', shows somewhat closer results, but mostly very bulky for charging 10+ devices at the same time. Nothing really portable.

These look like good chargers, but not really practical for tossing in your bag and bringing along. They also seem to use an attached wire or proprietary wire. Which makes it difficult to swap out for a different length or for another country.

Thanks for searching around though!

Yeah, seems like they are still selling it, but not on the official website or on amazon in my country. The selection from anker seems to differ wildly depending on the country

 

I'm currently using an old charger like this:

It's great. Easy to carry with me, uses a two-pin cable so I can easily buy a cheap 2 dollar cable in the country I'm traveling. It's light, and I use a few short (30cm) cables to charge my laptop, phone and other stuff.

I would like to get another one, but it seems like they are no longer sold from the original manufacturer.

I'm searching around online, but the only alternatives I find seem to be very bulky and not easily carried with you. Or they are wall chargers, which is very inconvenient, needing 4 long cables to reach your devices, and often taking up multiple plugs because they are so bulky.

Anybody that knows if these are still sold anywhere? This one is 65W, but with GaN tech, I expected to see more of these compact chargers with the same weight and thickness outputting maybe 100W. But I can't find anything
