    i have been looking at apparently you can get wall outlets with USB ports on them now so basically charging stations all around the house
    I have this in my living room. It's pretty sweet.

    yeah they are great.

    Just do yourself a solid and get this model if you decide to go for it:

    p3czp29rhw4h.jpg

    homes are a long-term investment, and USB-A style ports will probably be falling out of vogue for charging shit in the next couple years.
    Isn't it funny how far off we all had been when it comes to "what future home innovation will be." All these invention ideas, but no, the big thing everybody wants is more charging stations for their mobiles.

    I mean, Apple is supposedly working on a field based trickle-charge solution where a room can slowly charge all compatible devices in it... or in some cases remove the entire need for charging - think of things like wireless mice, keyboards and game controllers that sip but don't guzzle juice.

    Meanwhile, phones will slowly charge when not in use and drain more slowly when they are when present in the field.

    If that shit takes off, I will install it in every room in my house and beg my office to do the same.

    man that shit gives me actual health concerns

    the amount of energy you need to blast out jesus

    this is supposedly the company building the shit if they decide to go with it:

    http://energous.com

    4byjk0c0ey23.jpg

    The thing that looks like the sound bar under the TV is supplying power to everything in the room.

    Is that the one that needs line of sight or the one that blocks WiFi?

    its frequencies are outside of wifi range so its not that one, but it is directed beam so its less about line of sight and more about not putting water bodies(read: people) between the charger and the receiver.

    Like I said, only rumors right now and who knows if this end up in any product, but Apple did lock these guys down under an agreement, so there is at least some interest from them.

    I did a project looking into wireless power technology about 18 months ago, maybe a bit longer. At least at that point none of them looked particularly promising. It's possible somebody did something clever in the interim I suppose.

    Or Apple decided on going for it just to say their products can charge wirelessly despite needing an empty room and very low power transfer rates

    room sized induction coil, installed under the carpet

    what headaches, you're imagining things

    My favourite was basically a WiFi router turned to eleven. It would probably boil water left in the room and would fry any nearby WiFi enabled electronics .

    In the end the IKEA partnership with one of the induction charger people was the most sensible. The idea being all their tables with be full of chargers by default and i think all android phones can charge to the Qi standard now

    You're thinking about this the wrong way

    What if i told you your tea would never go cold

    Even after you drink it

    yeah that's BS. They don't actually provide that unless its on a dedicated circuit and they take up an entire outlet.

    Nah, just PNW. Taco Del Mar is the best (sorta) national chain.

    I don't even like Taco Bell that much anymore. Everything has loads of nacho cheese sauce and makes me feel bad after eating it.

    I am entirely confident that if you told somebody from 1985 that Donald Trump would be elected President, they would not believe you.

    This is true for any year up to and possibly including 2016.
