Tldr:

  • some airlines say power banks must be within arm's reach
  • some airlines say power banks must be stowed away

Check with your airline before traveling.

It seems like the most practical way to approach this as an airline passenger is to place your battery into superposition where the battery can be both within arm's reach, but also stowed away. Warning, do not observer or interact with the battery while the flight is in the air lest you collapse the waveform and lose superposition.

lest you collapse the waveform and lose superposition.

But then I could reach my destination instantly!

That seems overly complicated. How about just bringing an extra arm in the carry-on?

If you just bring s whole other person in your checked bags, you save on ticket costs, too.

There are so many useless bots out there. An archive bot would be great!

I'm on just a regular browser. Can I do this? I don't use apps.

Dunno why you got downvotes for a bit of shitposting

[-] kamiheku@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

Could be the people downvoting didn't notice OP's nick and thought this was a total non sequitur
