What We Love About The Anker 523 Portable Power Station

First and foremost, we love that its portable size doesn’t take up much space when it’s stored in the trunk of a car. At 10 × 5.8 × 5.5-inches in size and tipping the scale in at 9.24 pounds, it’s actually one of the lighter and compact portable power stations around. There’s even a handle on the top to carry it around with ease.

Of course, there are the array of ports and outlets around the front of the Anker 523 Portable Power Station to meet all of your charging needs. For mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, wireless earbuds, and some very small laptops, it offers 60W power delivery via its USB-C port to charge them in no time at all. In fact, it can charge a MacBook Air 2020 to 50% in about 40 minutes — or an iPhone 12 to 50% in about 30 minutes.

Even more valuable is its ability to power small appliances such as mini-fridges, fans, and TVs with a stable power supply through the built-in AC wall outlet. There’s a pure sine wave inverter that ensures your devices are receiving the correct amount of power, while also reducing those audible and electrical noises that you can sometimes hear humming when sensitive appliances are connected.

Using the included power adapter, you can recharge the Anker 523 Portable Power Station in about five hours. If you’re looking for a sustainable alternative, you can pick up an optional solar panel that connects to the DC input port to recharge. On sunny days, you can rely on nothing more than sun power to recharge it, making it the perfect off-the-grid companion.

Do you need something even smaller? Or perhaps, is it just overkill for what you need? If so, then consider the Anker Powerhouse 200, which comes with a generous $100 discount with the help of coupon code “POWERHOUSE02″ at checkout. This brings its original price of $259.99 down to a more attractive $159.99 cost. That’s a 38% off savings you’ll get, while still having similar features like a 30W maximum power deliver through its USB-C port, AC outlet, DC outlet, and two USB-A ports.

Facing pressure from rights groups, World Bank suspends funding for Tanzania tourism project
The World Bank has suspended funding for a tourism project in Tanzania that caused the suffering of tens of thousands of villagers, according to a U.S.-based rights group that has long urged the global lender to take such action. The World Bank's decision to suspend the $150 million project, which aims to improve the management of natural resources and tourism assets in a remote part of southern Tanzanian, was “long overdue,” the Oakland Institute said in a statement Tuesday, charging that the bank's "failure to take immediate action resulted in serious harms for the local communities.” The suspension of World Bank financing took effect April 18.

North Korea hacking teams hack South Korea defence contractors - police
Major North Korean hacking groups have mounted "all-out" cyber attacks against South Korean defence companies for more than a year, breaching the firms' internal networks and stealing technical data, South Korea's police said on Tuesday. Hacking teams linked to North Korea's intelligence apparatus and known as Lazarus, Kimsuky and Andariel planted malicious codes in data systems of the defence companies either directly or through contractors working with them, the police said. The police, working with a team of national spy agency and private sector experts, traced the hacks to the groups, identifying them by the source IP addresses, the re-routing architecture of the signals and the signatures of the malwares used, it said.

Russia warns Europe: if you take our assets, we have a response that will hurt
An ally of President Vladimir Putin warned Europe on Tuesday that Russia has already drafted legislation to retaliate if nearly $300 billion of Russian assets were seized by the West and used to help Ukraine. After President Vladimir Putin sent troops into Ukraine in 2022, the United States and its allies prohibited transactions with Russia's central bank and finance ministry, blocking around $300 billion of sovereign Russian assets in the West. The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation on Saturday including a bill with a provision that would allow the confiscation of Russian sovereign assets, though the lion's share of the assets are in Europe.

Iran's Israel strike coincided with crackdown on dissent at home, activists say
The same day Iran launched its first ever direct attack on Israel it embarked on a less-noticed confrontation at home, ordering police in several cities to take to the streets to arrest women accused of flouting its strict Islamic dress code. Iranian authorities insist that their so-called Nour (Light) campaign targets businesses and individuals who defy the hijab law, aiming to respond to demands from devout citizens who are angry about the growing number of unveiled women in public. Under Iran's sharia, or Islamic law, women are obliged to cover their hair and wear long, loose-fitting clothes.

Indonesia's biggest party confirms President Jokowi no longer a member after backing Prabowo
Indonesia President Joko Widodo and his son, incoming vice president Gibran Rakabuming Raka, are no longer members of the country's largest party after they backed rival candidate and election winner Prabowo Subianto, a party official said on Tuesday. Their exit will put the spotlight on the next moves for the popular Jokowi, as the outgoing president is known, whose backing for Defence Minister Prabowo was widely interpreted as a move to retain political influence and preserve his legacy after a decade at the helm. Komarudin Watubun, who heads the ethical division of the Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), said Jokowi and Gibran were not expelled but ceased to be members when they decided not to endorse PDIP's presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo.

North Macedonia to elect president after campaign focused on hot-button issue of EU membership
Voters go to the polls in North Macedonia this week for the first round of the presidential election — the seventh such vote since the small landlocked Balkan country gained independence from the former Yugoslavia in 1991. With more than 50% of the country’s 1.8 million registered voters needed for an outright win, the contest is almost certain to head to a second round, which will be held on May 8 along with parliamentary elections. The brief campaigning period has focused on North Macedonia’s progress toward joining the European Union, the rule of law, fighting corruption, combating poverty and tackling the country’s sluggish economy.

As Blinken heads to China, these are the major divides he will try to bridge
Secretary of State Antony Blinken is starting three days of talks with senior Chinese officials in Shanghai and Beijing this week with U.S.-China ties at a critical point over numerous global disputes. The mere fact that Blinken is making the trip — shortly after a conversation between President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, a similar visit to China by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and a call between the U.S. and Chinese defense chiefs — might be seen by some as encouraging, but ties between Washington and Beijing are tense and the rifts are growing wider. From Russia and Ukraine to Israel, Iran and the broader Middle East as well as Indo-Pacific and trade issues, the U.S. and China are on a series of collision courses that have sparked fears about military and strategic security as well as international economic stability.

Ukraine launches military charm offensive as conscription flags
Far from the trenches, at orderly new centres across Ukraine, civilian recruiters armed with laptops and info packs offer patriotic volunteers opportunities to join the war. As Ukraine's efforts to conscript enough men to fight Russia are stymied by public scepticism, defence officials and military units are embarking on a multi-pronged charm offensive to recruit a citizens' army to resist the invasion. This softer call-up is being conducted on job-search sites and outreach centres, as well as billboards and social media, and offers a wartime novelty: an element of choice.
