Looks like someone who doesn't know what they are doing would buy.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Unless it's active, you can't ''boost'' amperage.

Unless data transfer signals are sent over 2 amp current as well, this is a scam.

I guess you can buy it and test it for yourself but I am far less knowledgeable on the topic. It seems some people know how charging works and claim it doesnt work. IMO the best knowledge comes from experience.

scorptec is more legit than PCCG (sorta). They have a store front in melbs. Been there. There products are usually sorted through.

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

I thought usb's had a max output of 5v at 0.5amps? And This seems to claim it can pull nearly 2amps out your port. Personally I wouldn't let it anywhere near my computer.
