beyond the hype LLM tools are actually really useful at times.

as some may know, I have been looking for a “larger” Power Bank, to charge my laptop and in the future to power my PackPC The only reasonable one I found (which I now have) was https://www.ubuy.co.at/gr/product/1J0MG6C8O-iniu-power-bank-65w-pd-fast-charging-25000mah-ultimate-usb-c-portable-charger-with-phone-holder-3-output-battery-pack-compatible-with-laptop-macbook at only 90Wh I was looking for around 160Wh to 200Wh.

I was looking into the company EcoFlow just now and found they have a 200Wh power bank (https://www.ecoflow.com/us/trail-series), but only available in the US. So i started searching for one again. I found https://www.ankersolix.com/products/c200-dc and https://www.ugreen.com/collections/power-bank/products/ugreen-300w-48000mah-portable-charger-power-bank (great price) and Renogy 72000mAh 266Wh Power Bank… ALL just available to ship to the US.

On reddit I found vetted.ai (nice marketing btw: https://www.reddit.com/r/urbancarliving/comments/1f3gp84/comment/lkgp8et/), a LLM shoping agent, which i asked: “hi, im looking for a pwerbank 200Wh, focus on weight, should be able to do 65W usbc pd minimum, also focus on price and has to be available in the EU”… I was like WTF on the “Identifying international flight regulations for power bank capacity…” at first, but reading the answer… this must be why such power banks are so hard to find in the EU.

I a still curious as to why they just can’t ship them via ship…
