You may already be familiar with the brand Anker if you’ve purchased power banks or other battery-charging devices for your favorite electronics in recent years. Did you know that this popular brand for charging smart devices can also power your entire home? Anker’s SOLIX line of portable power stations and accessories are versatile and affordable while providing a higher cost-performance ratio than similar power stations from the competition.
Portable power stations can be useful for providing access to electrical connectivity during camping trips, help you reduce the cost of your utility bills by embracing solar power, or providing potentially life-saving battery backup in emergencies. Anker has a solution to fit your power output needs.
Going off-grid with Anker SOLIX
When we think of going off-grid, most of us think of rugged living in the woods, surviving off the land without modern utilities and amenities. While some of that is true for some off-grid folks, others prefer to keep amenities like hot showers and internet connectivity. Those things require an electrical current, though. The most common way to overcome the need for electricity without shelling out big bucks to join your neighborhood power grid is to utilize solar power.

With the Anker SOLIX F3800 portable power station, tapping into the natural resource of sunlight to power your home has never been easier or more affordable. Anker SOLIX portable power stations are designed to be a plug-and-play power solution for your home. When combined with Anker SOLIX portable solar panels, the portable power station is capable of 2400W of solar input, charging from 0 to 80% with as little as 1.5 hours of sunlight. Anker even offers an additional expansion battery, capable of pushing the SOLIX F3800 unit from its standard 3,840Wh up to an impressive 7,680Wh of power for your off-grid home.
Because the Anker SOLIX is portable, it’s also an excellent generation solution for camping trips and RVs. Traditional gas-powered generators are loud and unsafe to use near your campsite. They exhaust smoke and fumes and overall can lessen the enjoyment of a quiet retreat to nature. The SOLIX power station, on the other hand, is significantly quieter when in use, and provides clean, sustainable energy without fumes or reliance on fossil fuels.
Disaster preparedness with Anker SOLIX
Sometimes nature is a wonderful and relaxing escape from the daily grind, but some days nature has an ax to grind. When nature flares up, dangerous storms can cause troublesome power outages that can vary from inconvenient to life-threatening. You’ll want a powerful generator that can take over from the grid and continue to supply your home with the electricity you need to get through the storm. The SOLIX F3800 power station is strong enough to provide all the electricity you need for your entire home. Yes, that even includes your 240v electronics like stoves and dryers.

Anker utilizes advanced GaNPrime technology and pairs it with LiFePO4 batteries so that SOLIX F3800 power station is a reliable, long-lasting, and easy-to-use power supply solution when you find yourself in an emergency. With the SOLIX, you are in control and can choose to manually convert to your stored energy when the lights go out. Or, set it and forget it with the powerful and customizable app. The SOLIX F3800 can seamlessly transition between the power grid and backup power solutions during outages.
Buy now and save even more

Paired with expandable battery banks and solar power panels, the Anker SOLIX F3800 power station can save you money on your utility bills in the long term. You don’t have to wait to start saving with the SOLIX F3800, however. You can save an additional $100 on your new power backup system by using the code ASSF3800 when you purchase a SOLIX F3800 Portable Power Station from Anker. That makes the price for peace of mind and disaster preparedness security just $2999 with free shipping.
Apple has a new home at Canada’s second-largest indoor shopping mall. Following months of construction, the new Apple Square One retail store opened its doors today in Mississauga, Ontario, just west of Toronto. The store is now located above the Food Central food court on the second floor of the mall, across from Sephora.
The store’s first visitors were greeted with a round of applause from Apple’s team members. MacRumors reader Kyle attended the grand opening and shared photos with us, providing a first look at the curved glass facade and expansive interior.
On the positive side, the new store is much larger than Apple’s previous location in the mall, which was often overcrowded. The original store closed its doors for good on Thursday evening, after nearly 15 years of serving customers. Another plus is that the store is the first in Canada to offer a dedicated Apple Pickup station where customers can conveniently collect their online orders placed on Apple.com and in the Apple Store app.
On the negative side, the store lacks some of Apple’s latest retail design elements that were first introduced last year at the relocated Apple Tysons Corner in Virginia and all-new Apple Battersea in London, England, such as a Genius Bar with varied table and seating heights for improved accessibility, and an Apple Watch Studio for mixing and matching case and band combinations. Customers can still receive hardware support from a Genius at the store, and participate in free creative sessions through the Today at Apple program.
The new Apple Square One is the company’s fourth modern store in Canada, alongside Apple Fairview and Apple Eaton Centre in Toronto, and Apple Pacific Centre in Vancouver. All of Apple’s other stores in Canada have a classic design. A leaked document last year revealed that Apple has considered relocating its Sainte-Catherine store in Montréal, Québec as early as 2025, but the company has not publicly confirmed these plans.
“Come say hello,” says Apple, on the Apple Square One page. “We can’t wait to see you there.”
Power products provider Bluetti hopes to keep your outdoor adventures going in all conditions with its latest innovation, the Bluetti AC240 Weatherproof Portable Power Station. It features an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance, a big help for campers, first responders and others caught in the elements.
Scheduled for launch on April 2, the powerhouse also provides increased power, quicker charging, innovative parallel connection and other improvements over its predecessor.
Bluetti AC240 Weatherproof Portable Power Station
Maybe you’ve been caught without power in a drenching downpour — it’s not fun. But the new Bluetti AC240 Weatherproof Portable Power Station makes weather worries a thing of the past. The water stays out and your power stays on.
Engineered with IP65-rated protection, the AC240 is impervious to dust and resists low-pressure water jets from any angle. It basically laughs at rain.
Plus, it employs patented technology and safeguards. They include independent air ducts, sealed electronic compartments, special drainage, vacuum-coated fans and double-layer protected ports.
But sometimes a little water can sneak in. Even so, don’t worry. The power station’s built-in exhaust fan swiftly expels water, while the heat-dissipation system ensures rapid water evaporation.
Comprehensive outdoor power solution
Don’t worry, covers help keep mud, dust and water out of ports and so forth. Photo: Bluetti
Bluetti says the AC240 is your all-in-one power reserve, keeping you connected to the world even when exploring far from the grid. Weighing just 72 pounds (33 kilograms), it takes up the space of a standard microwave oven. So it easily fits in your trunk on your travels.
The station’s impressive 2,400W output can fuel a host of devices including refrigerators, window air conditioners, microwaves, heaters and coffee makers. Its 1,536Wh lithium iron phosphate battery can sustain a 20-cubic-foot fridge for at least one day at 1.2kWh/day. And the power station’s powerlifting mode handles even resistive loads — a hot plate can draw up to 3,600 watts! — so almost no task is too demanding.
Great connectivity

The new weatherproof Bluetti power station’s plethora of outlets and ports includes two standard AC outlets, one NEMA TT-30 port (typically used for recreational vehicles and such), a car outlet, two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports and a 12V/30A RV port. Ideal for RV enthusiasts and boat owners, it seamlessly integrates into off-grid power systems for self-sustained adventures.
And guess what? Expansion batteries give the AC240 even more power. With its rapid 1.1-hour AC charging at 2,400W max while paired with a B210 expansion battery, you’ll always stay ahead of the power curve.
But expansion batteries are only part of the story. For long trips, you can pair the AC240 with Bluetti’s foldable solar panels. They provide 1,200W solar intake for a full recharge in two hours.
Expandable power and uninterrupted backup
Want to go completely off the grid? With solar panels providing juice for AC240, you can. Photo: Bluetti
With the flexible AC240, you never need to worry about running out of power in the wild. It supports capacity expansion to give you extra juice for power-intensive jobs.
Here’s how:
One AC240 can accept up to four B210 packs, 2,150Wh each, for a total capacity of 10,136Wh.
These packs also can function independently as water-resistant power banks, with three DC outputs and charging options.
The unit’s responsive uninterruptible power source (UPS) function swiftly detects outages and automatically switches to battery power within 15 milliseconds. So the AC240 system provides a straightforward and robust solution for uninterrupted power supply indoors and out.
Advantages of true parallel power
The AC240’s output is also expandable with a true parallel connection. While conventional “parallel” power products increase output and double voltage simultaneously (e.g., from 120V to 240V), they often limit compatibility with supported appliances.
Not Bluetti’s power station. Its parallel technology lets you link two AC240 units via the Parallel Box P480, delivering a substantial 4,800W output without altering voltage. That’s “a feat unmatched in the industry,” Bluetti says.
And it means you can confidently power large 120V appliances without the hassle of complex manual settings.
Another important thing — this is the first energy storage system that allows parallel connection to the grid while still powering your devices. Output goes down to 4,000W when charging from the grid.
Weatherproof portable power station: Built tough, powered smart

Bluetti builds the AC240 tough to stand the tests of weather and time. It uses the safest and most reliable lithium iron phosphate batteries around. The battery can achieve up to 100% depth of discharge and maintain 80% of its original capacity even after 3,500 charge cycles, or about 10 years of use.
“Enhanced by the advanced BLUETOPUS AI BMS, an AI-powered battery management system, the AC240 guarantees safe operation, optimal performance and an extended lifespan,” Bluetti says.
Plus, it’s smart. You can use an app to manage power, adjust charging speed, switch UPS modes and more.
AC240 Weatherproof Portable Power Station availability and pricing
Bluetti backs the AC240 with a six-year warranty. You can buy the power station on Bluetti’s website and on Amazon starting April 2.
Exclusive early bird pricing applies to standalone units and bundles with B210 expansion batteries. Additionally, the premium AC240P version, boasting a larger capacity of 1,843Wh and expandability with B210P batteries, will be available.
A docking stations has become particularly useful – essential even – in office settings where users often need to switch between laptops and desktops.
JCH462 Wormhole Switch, from j5create, takes this convenience a notch higher. The multi-function docking station lets you connect two Windows devices via USB-C (there’s an attached USB-A adapter if required) and duplicate or extend their displays.
The Wormhole Switch lets users control the connected devices using a single keyboard and mouse, great news for anyone who routinely gets confused by which peripheral belongs to which computer. The keyboard works on whichever PC the mouse pointer is active on, or you can use the Alt+S keyboard shortcut or mouse wheel to swap manually between devices. If you have a touchscreen laptop, you can turn its display into a graphics tablet for your desktop.
Quick copy and paste
You will need to install the driver on both connected computers for this trickery to work, and doing so will display a control bar that will let you manage your screens, switching between extend and duplicate modes, and shifting displays left and right (or up and down, depending on how your computers are arranged).
Users can effortlessly drag and drop files from one computer to another, eliminating the need for external storage devices or cloud-based solutions, and also cut/copy and paste clipboard content between PCs.
It’s worth pointing out that if one computer goes into sleep mode you won’t be able to use the other one to wake it, but that’s a small inconvenience.
Wormhole Switch comes with two USB Type-A ports and one USB-C 5Gbps port on the side, so you can connect any compatible peripherals, including a mouse, keyboard, external drives, and webcams, although this only works with the PC1 host. If, for example, you want to work on files from an external flash drive on PC2, you’ll need to copy them via PC1 first.

Wormhole Switch is an incredibly handy piece of kit and surprisingly affordable too. You can currently buy it on Amazon priced at $69.99.
Android users patiently waiting for the arrival of Emulation Station on Android devices will be pleased to know that the application is now available on Android phones, tablets and mini PCs. Enabling you to transform your Android device into a time machine that transports you back to the golden era of gaming. Emulation Station DE is a retro gaming powerhouse, allowing you to play the classics with ease. But before you start your journey down memory lane, make sure your Android is updated to version 11 or higher, as this is a prerequisite for the app to work properly.
For those eager to dive into the world of retro video games, Emulation Station DE is the perfect companion. Priced at $5.39 on the Amazon App Store, this premium interface is your one-stop-shop for managing and playing your favorite game ROMs. It’s important to note that Emulation Station DE is not available on Google Play, which means you’ll need to sideload the Amazon App Store to get your hands on it. Also, remember that the app itself doesn’t come with game ROMs or emulators; you’ll have to find those on your own.
Once you’ve installed Emulation Station DE, you’ll be greeted by a user-friendly interface that makes organizing and launching your game ROMs a breeze. The app shines on high-performance devices such as the S24 Ultra, where it ensures seamless gameplay and an exceptional retro gaming experience. But it’s not just about playing games—the app also helps you manage your digital collection. It automatically creates a ROMs folder and uses a scraper tool to collect game metadata, so you have all the details you need to dive right into the action.
Android Emulation Station
The next step in your setup is choosing and configuring emulators. Emulation Station DE supports a wide array of emulators, including the all-encompassing RetroArch, which caters to various gaming systems, and specialized options like Redream. This flexibility allows you to tailor your gaming experience to your preferences.
Getting started with Emulator Station on Android
Emulator Station is an application that organizes and runs game emulators, allowing you to play games from various consoles on your Android device. It simplifies the process of setting up emulators and managing game files (ROMs), providing an integrated environment for your gaming needs. Emulator Station, also referred to here as ES-DE for clarity, offers a user-friendly interface to facilitate the configuration and enhancement of your gaming experience on Android devices.
Installation
Download and Install ES-DE: Start by downloading ES-DE from a reliable source, such as the Google Play Store or the official website, and install it on your device.
Launch ES-DE: Open the application. You will be greeted by a welcome screen, part of the ES-DE configurator, which is the onboarding interface designed to guide you through the setup process.
Initial Setup
The configurator is straightforward and guides you through several key setup steps:
Storage Access Permission: ES-DE requires access to your device’s storage to function correctly. Upon prompt, grant the necessary permissions to allow the app to access and manage files.
Define Application Data Directory: Next, specify a directory for storing your settings, scraped media, custom collections, etc. By default, ES-DE creates a directory in the root of your device’s internal storage. This location can be customized if needed.
ROMs Directory: Choose a location for storing your game files. The default “ROMs” directory is also placed in the root of the internal storage. You have the option to relocate this directory to an SD card for additional space. If moved, you’ll need to manually create the “ROMs” directory on the SD card and delete any empty directory created by ES-DE in the internal storage.
Game Systems Directory Structure: Optionally, you can create a directory structure within your ROMs folder for different game systems. This action also generates systeminfo.txt files in each system directory, providing details on supported file extensions and emulators. While not mandatory, this step is recommended for convenience.
Final Steps
Placing Game Files: Ensure you place at least one game file with a supported extension in the ROMs directory. If no supported games are found, ES-DE will display an informational dialog about the absence of games.
Installing Emulators: Note that ES-DE does not come with emulators. You must install these separately. Detailed information on this topic can be found within the application or its documentation.
Re-running the Configurator
If you need to access the configurator again, you can do so by:
Revoking storage access permissions from the Android Apps settings screen under Special app access. This action triggers the configurator upon the next app start.
Clearing the app’s storage under Storage & cache settings. However, this will delete all themes downloaded via the theme downloader and is not generally recommended.
Renaming the ES-DE or ROMs directory, which will also prompt the configurator to run the next time you start ES-DE.
Tips for a Better Experience
Regularly Update: Keep both ES-DE and your emulators up to date to enjoy the latest features and improvements.
Customize Controls: Dive into the settings to customize control layouts for different emulators, ensuring the best gaming experience.
Explore Themes: ES-DE supports themes, allowing you to personalize the appearance of the interface. Explore and download themes that suit your taste.
Customizing your experience is a cinch with Emulation Station DE. The app offers a variety of themes to make your interface stand out. But the customization options don’t end there. You can also use the built-in PDF viewer to read game manuals and access a feature that cleans up image files, keeping your library neat and tidy. If you ever need assistance, the Emulation Station DE website is a treasure trove of information. It’s packed with documentation and FAQs that will walk you through the setup process and enhance your gaming experience.
Android ES-DE Tips and tricks
Emulation Station DE for Android is a sophisticated platform that caters to the needs of retro gaming enthusiasts. It’s designed to work seamlessly with a range of devices, including the robust S24 Ultra, and it’s equipped with a host of features that will take your gaming sessions to the next level. As you gear up to indulge in the nostalgia of retro games, don’t forget to source your own ROMs and emulators to complete your setup. With Emulation Station DE, the past is never far away—so start your adventure today and rediscover the classics that defined a generation.

Blackview, founded in 2013, is an innovation-driven tech company with extensive industry experience in rugged smart devices. Over the past decade, Blackview has been breaking many new grounds in the rugged smart device field with a slew of industry firsts: the first rugged phone with thermal imaging-BV9800 Pro, the first rugged phone with night vision-BV8800, the first rugged phone with 40M laser rangefinder or 100-lumen flashlight-BV9300. Not to mention N6000, the first mini rugged phone, and the Active 8 Pro, the first rugged tablet. All of them are warmly welcomed and loved by people from over 80 countries worldwide.
Following years of remarkable success in the field of rugged smart devices, Blackview & OSCAL saw a spike in users’ demand for zero-cost energy (solar, hydro, wind) in response to the rising cost of electricity bills brought on by wars and ongoing power outages during peak seasons. Adhering to the determination to bring the comfort of modern civilization to the wilderness, OSCAL has launched PowerMax 700 and PowerMax 300 in the field of portable power stations, which immediately became well-known as top sellers among users worldwide.

First Attempt! Evolving from Rugged Phones to Rugged Power Stations
Drawing upon years of experience in creating rugged phones, Blackview is taking a groundbreaking step by incorporating the unbreakable features of rugged phones into rugged power stations. Concerns about accidental drops from grasps while removing Blackview OSCAL PowerMax 3600 from the car or stairs are allayed by its reinforced ABS+PC material construction, which makes it strong enough to withstand any adventure with up to 0.8m vertically drop-proofness. It can be used anywhere, from fishing on the edges of wet lakes to working in dusty building sites, because it effectively blocks the entry of certain solid particles and vertical splashes of water. Be it the exploration of Alaska’s glaciers or the vast Sahara deserts, Blackview OSCAL PowerMax 3600 remains unaffected by the most extreme temperatures from -20~55°C. (Ideal from -10°C to 45°C). Even in the midst of desert exploration, the PowerMax 3600’s Anti-UV feature protects it from fading and aging brought on by prolonged sun exposure, and its UL94V-0 flame-retardant case ensures that there is no risk of fires spread resulting from heat generation.
Not only does PowerMax3600, like many other power stations, offer five LED light modes for illumination while setting up tents, preparing food, or reading the map at night, but it can also be used to transmit more information by adjusting the brightness and flashing pattern using Morse code, which is especially useful to convey distress signals if users are separated from his partners in areas with no signal while exploring in the wilderness.
Expandable Power for Tailored-made Occasion, Luggage-like Design for Easy Movement
Support up to 15*Extra Batteries(3.6kWh/Per), Capacity From 3.6kWh to 57.6 kWh.
From outdoor portable power for camping or RVs to home backup power for short-term power outages caused by severe weather and long-term power outages caused by energy crises, the issue of insufficient battery capacity for home and outdoor backup power has long surrounded users. Compared to most competitors with fixed capacity, Blackview OSCAL PowerMax 3600 delivers an expandable capacity from 3.6kWh to 57.6 kWh, which is an absolute modular model that accepts up to 15*extra battery packs (3.6kWh/Per) to make full use of its potential for any situation. When used as a portable power source for outdoor activities like camping or tailgating, 3.6kWh is sufficient for 1-day usage. If it works as a backup power station for professional fields like disaster relief or street businesses, 28.8kWh is ready for 7-day usage. If the purpose of that is for whole-house backup power during ongoing power cuts, 57.6kWh is more than enough for up to 30-day usage if used 2kWh/day on average. Despite its outsized capacity, Blackview OSCAL PowerMax3600 spares users, especially the elderly, a world of hassle when moving it from one place to another place thanks to its luggage-like design with easy-to-pull handles and smooth-rolling wheels, which makes the next beach trips or mountain vacations more comfortable and more enjoyable.
When using a power station, the inability to operate high-power appliances and the limitation on charging multiple devices simultaneously have consistently troubled users. Whether it’s for RVs, travel trailers, or even at-home emergencies, Blackview OSCAL PowerMax 3600 is perfect for worry-free power supply with a massive 3,600W power output that can power 99% of the essential devices, handling power surges from professional tools for off-grid living like power drills and cutting machines to household essentials for home backup like microwaves, refrigerators, and air conditioners.

Super-safe System for Any Risk, Long-Lasting Battery Life for Any Adventure
Advanced LiFePO4 Battery+Eightfold Safety Protection BMS+24/7 UPS with 5-8ms Switch
Safety and durability stand as top priorities of users when choosing a power station. Unlike some power stations with lithium ternary batteries on the market, Blackview OSCAL PowerMax 3600 combo relies on particularly robust and long-lasting LiFePO4 battery cells for an extended lifespan to remain 80% after 3,500 life cycles, equivalent to 25 years of usage if used once every two days, which is 4-6 times longer than those with NCM batteries. As safe as it is, it includes an eightfold protection battery management system (BMS). So any potential glitches, be it overheating, overload discharging, or over-voltage issues, can be promptly fixed. Plus the cooling system is enhanced with four 38mm smart temperature-activated fans that facilitate efficient heat dissipation by up to 40 ℃. What’s more, the high-temperature warning will be triggered at 55°C and the high-temperature overload protection will be activated at 58°C, protecting the device from damage by high temperature.
If the grid goes down while users are watching TV, cooking supper, or working from home, the 24/7 Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) system of Blackview OSCAL PowerMax 3600 won’t leave users groping in the dark for a flashlight. In as little as 5 ms, which is nearly 80% faster than peers with 20-30ms, it switches over to work as an emergency backup power, so users can hardly notice the slight flickering of the lights, delivering constant power to protect users’ computers from data loss and maintain uninterrupted operation of users’ fish tank, refrigerator, CPAP, and other essentials.
Zero-cost and Green Energy! Super-fast Recharging! Fuel up to 80% in Just 0.96Hrs
The difficulties users encounter while recharging the power station might be the limitations in charging options and charging speed. Going beyond the conventional charging methods supported by most power stations on the market, such as AC charging, solar charging, car charging, and dual charging, PowerMax 3600 has been intentionally designed to accommodate more charging options including EV charging stations, gas generators, and lead-acid batteries. Aware of the soaring cost of fuel and electricity, PowerMax 3600 not only supports typical zero-cost green energy sources like the sun (solar charging) but also makes it easier to charge from wind (wind turbines charging) and water(wind turbines charging).
How to cushion soaring energy bills with Blackview OSCAL PowerMax 3600? Take solar charging as an example. By connecting with solar panels at 1600W solar input, it captures and converts the sunlight into ready-to-use solar energy in just 2.25 hours for later use when utility power costs a pretty penny during peak hours, saving up to $1612.8/Year for users. When paired with PV and AC input, it charges from 0% to 80% SOC at a rate of 3600W in just 0.96H, which means it can be fully charged during the luggage preparation without delaying the next trip. Besides, Blackview OSCAL’s solar panels PM100/PM200 are also available for purchase, which is exceptional in transformation efficiency of 21.7%-23%, allowing for a steady stream of 100W/200W to top up the battery. With a fold-and-go design, users can take them wherever they go whether it’s camping or adventuring.
User-friendly Control with Smart App+Eco-friendly Operation without Fumes & Noise
Power station users, especially elderly ones, often face inconvenience caused by unintuitive operations. Apart from featuring an oversized LCD display with easy-to-read font sizes, OSCAL PowerMax 3600 adopts thumb-sized buttons for controlling the device. All operations are just a touch away with the built-in TI chip that is 10% faster in button response time when compared to other devices using Etron chips. Also, Blackview OSCAL PowerMax 3600 utilizes a Smart app for remote control, where users can access to monitor and control remotely for ongoing management.
Unlike gas generators, it works without emitting toxic fumes or disturbing the peace, running as quietly as 62dB max(1.5M distance), making it usable in even confined spaces.
Shipping & Warranty & After Sales
Once released, users are anticipated to receive their orders within 7-10 days. Rest assured about any quality concerns— Blackview OSCAL guarantees a 4-year warranty with 24/7 online support as well as several offline service centers. Stay tuned for more updates.
