How to reset an Anker PowerCore+ 26,800 USB power bank
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/10/21
I have a few Anker PowerCore+ 26,800 USB power banks of which one would not show the charger lights any more. This is how to reset these power banks (should also work with other Anker power banks).
Below is how to reset it; after that the charging indicator started functioning again:
- [Wayback/Archive] Complety dead PowerCore+ 26,800 Power Delivery – Questions & Answers – Anker Community
Try another outlet. If that doesn’t work, plug it into itself.Take a USB cable and plug that into the output and plug the output into the input. This will reset the battery.

How can I enable the Windows Task Scheduler History recording? (via Stack Overflow)
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/10/18
For my link archive, as apparently the history recording for the Windows (not just server) Task Scheduler is disabled [Wayback How can I enable the Windows Server Task Scheduler History recording? – Stack Overflow
- Open an elevated Task Scheduler (ie. right-click on the Task Scheduler icon and choose Run as administrator)
- In the Actions pane (right pane, not the actions tab), click Enable All Tasks History
That’s it. Not sure why this isn’t on by default, but it isn’t.
At the time of writing, I did not have energy to figure out which steps on the console to take to enable this history.

AI generates covertly racist decisions about people based on their dialect | Nature
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/10/17
LLM are just statistic text generators which depend on the texts they have been trained which and alleviating this usually makes things worse: [Wayback/Archive] AI generates covertly racist decisions about people based on their dialect | Nature
Related:
- [Wayback/Archive] LLMs produce racist output when prompted in African American English
- [Wayback/Archive] AI worse than humans at summarising information, trial finds “A test of AI for Australia’s corporate regulator found that the technology might actually make more work for people, not less.”
Of course these issues are not limited to natural language LLM: artificial computer language LLM are also full of training issues that are likely very hard to resolve. What if covert organisations succeed poisoning LLM platforms with malicious code?
