Remote Monitoring of Powerbank

Say I have a powerbank, and it's tucked away in a place I can't quite easily access (this is on purpose, it's supposed to be hidden for aesthetic purposes) and it isn't constantly being charged, is there any way you can think of to monitor the powerbank charge remotely? So when I notice it's running low or even flat out dead I can start charging it (via an usb switch connected to a power source) and when it is fully charged I can stop charging?
An usb voltage reader wouldn't work, since 99% of the powerbanks do their best to keep a steady 5V/1A (or 2A/3A) output until they're flat out dead. Hooking up something to the usb outputs would just show 5V until it's dead, and that wouldn't be much help.
tl;dr how to check a powerbank's charge level (think the leds on top of the plastic case that light up to tell you the current charge) remotely, without x-ray vision or a really shady chinese night webcam.

probe across the charge level indicators.
However, presumably the indicators aren't lit constantly so you'd need to rig a small circuit to:
1) trigger the level indicator intermittently
2) read the LED states
If only one LED lights up then you know it's near flat and that state could trigger something that alerts you, a light elsewhere most likely.
You could do it with a little PIC, a 12f629 would be ideal.
Bonus points; Power the PIC from the battery pack.

Why not just keep it connected to the power so it only drains when the power is off.

Not OP here but that would kill the cell quickly and you're a fucking idiot. Even with today's consumer battery technology "memory" is a thing you need to be concerned about if you want to keep your battery in good health.
OP wasn't asking for an "Internet of things" or anything of the sort, did you skip your fucking meds today?

It's not, I've tried Mint, Arch, and a few Ubuntu flavors, but once I got to Fedora I haven't gone back.

I wouldn't say its directly shit but I don't like it personally, probably other users like it.
I really have to say that Arch's package managment system is the best I have seen and also updating arch is just awesome.

Intel's death throes.
With Windows for ARM now running x86 applications, Intel's monopoly is as good as dead. Desperate, Intel try to scare Microsoft away with patent threats. Of course, it won't work. Meanwhile, the RISCV consortium keeps growing.

Good. Add in AMD's Epyc obsoleting Intel's entire line of Xeons overnight, and you've got a recipe for multiple shoahs.

Too bad there's one (potentially two) capable ARM cores on the market.

Funny enough, AMD is part of the RISCV consortium. They do, no doubt, have a performant implementation on the works.
>>60847358
Keep in mind x86 is performant despite the ISA, not because of the ISA. Even Intel CPUs do simply translate the x86 ISA to a different internal ISA.
Furthermore, as demonstrated in studies the presentations of you can find in recent RISC-V workshop minutes, code density of RISC-V is on par with amd64.

/g/ newfag here. Thought this would be the place to ask cuz why not. On Facebook, the new Pride react is activated by liking the LGBTQ@Facebook page then restarting the app to use it. Does anyone know how Facebook is able to do this? Is there a way to petition to get new reacts?

nigga, this ain't the government
Facebook is a privately owned publicly traded company. The only way you can "petition" anything is buying shares that allow you to go to shareholder meetings.

What's a react?
I take it Facebook knows what pages you like, so it limits this feature until you've met the requirements

>After much speculation and wishful thinking from owners, OnePlus has officially confirmed to Android Authority that the Nougat update will not be delivered for the OnePlus 2. The refusal to update comes after promises of 24 months of update support in the past and an outright assertion from the company last year that the OnePlus 2 would get Android N.
>Nevertheless, OnePlus told us that “customer service has been telling customers this for a little while” and that “we’re happy about what we’re doing with software. We already confirmed Android O will come for the OnePlus 3 and 3T. So [no Nougat for the OnePlus 2] isn’t new and we think people were aware of it.”
>That said, a OnePlus moderator writing about the Nougat update in the forum as recently as the end of May seemed to think it was still being worked on, leaving the communication work up to another forum member.
>"When we built the OnePlus 2 we didn't have the software infrastructure team in place we do now."

OP2 was a mistake guys, we all know that.
But how about OP3 and 3t? Will they gonna do the same?
>>
>>60845235
Of course
They dropped the OPO quickly, the OPX might as well not exist, then they replaced the OP3 6 months after being released, then that phone is getting replaced 6 months after that
>>
>>60845235
OP3 and 3T both launched with Marshmallow, so if they get Android O like Oneplus have promised that's two major Android version updates which already is more support than most Android phones get

With C++14 having superseded C++11, and C++17 on the horizon, is this still worth getting? Or is the fifth edition still a long way off?

Only if it's cheap.
You might as well get the PDF instead and wait for a more updated version.
>>
C++14 and C++17 are important developments, but not the paradigm shift that C++11 was.
>>
>>60845033
C++14 added some convenient stuff for lambdas and missing move shit regarding smart pointers. Nothing too crucial. I'd probably pick up Programming -- Principles and Practice Using C++ (Second Edition) instead though. It's very basic but it teaches you the core C++11/14 features in a good way. I'd say even a seasoned C++ dev can learn a lot from reading it. Try to get one of the books at your local library though. I'm expecting Bjarne to release a C++17 update soon.
