Toshiba is recalling batteries from 100,000 laptops following reports of units overheating and literally melting. The recall affects 40 laptop models sold in the US and Canada between June 2011 and 2016, and includes some of Toshiba's most popular models, including its Satellite and Portege ranges.
The manufacturer has published a full list of models directly affected by the recall, as well as others that may have received the faulty Panasonic-made batteries during servicing or through the purchasing of replacement power packs. Affected customers are eligible for a free replacement battery from Toshiba.
The manufacturer posted instructions on how customers can check whether their battery pack is affected and qualifies for a replacement. To do so, you'll need to locate the model sticker on the bottom of your laptop and enter the product part number into Toshiba's website. Alternatively, customers can download a utility that will automatically check their system and inform them if their laptop is part of the recall.
Toshiba has so far received four reports of the power packs overheating and melting. Customers found to be in possession of an affected model are advised by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission to power of their laptop and remove the battery, before sending it off to Toshiba for replacing.
It's the first-world-problem bane of our modern existence: the battery on your relatively new phone, laptop or tablet growing weak and unreliable in no length of time.
But this recurring annoyance could soon *theoretically* be a thing of the past. That's because scientists at the University of California at Irvine (UCI) have stumbled across a gel-like substance that can preserve the usually-limited re-charge life of a battery.
PhD student Mya Le Thai and her lab colleagues had the breakthrough while researching nanowires - highly conducive materials that are thousands of times thinner than a human hair and which are a key component of batteries.
Just for the hell of it, Le Thai started coating a nanowire in a manganese dioxide gel shell, and...well, let's turn the explanation over to Reginald Penner, chairman of UCI's chemistry department. He said:
She discovered that just by using this gel she could cycle it hundreds of thousands of times without losing any capacity. That was crazy, because these things typically die in dramatic fashion after 5,000 or 6,000 or 7,000 cycles at most.
The team then went on to test the new type of battery over 200,000 times over a three-month period and no loss of capacity or power was reported.
This research proves that a nanowire-based battery electrode can have a long lifetime and that we can make these kinds of batteries a reality, Le Thai explained.
Windows 10 has a built-in, hidden battery report tool that can tell you everything you need to know about your laptop battery, including your battery life estimate and its capacity over time. Use this powercfg command to better understand your battery's health and optimize your computer's battery life.
We'll use the command prompt to generate an HTML battery report for your computer.
1. Hit Windows Button + X and select Command Prompt (Admin). This is the quickest way to open the Command Prompt as an administrator.
2. Type in and enter: powercfg /batteryreport
This command will create a battery report under C:\WINDOWS\system32\battery-report.html or, in Windows versions older than Windows 10, under C:\Users\[Username]
3. Open the Battery report HTML file to view it.
The report will give you more information about the batteries in your system, as well as how they've been used over time.
Perhaps of most usefulness to most people is the battery life estimates--how long you can expect your battery to last based on actual usage--and how it's changed since you first installed the OS. It's more accurate and precise than relying on the battery icon in your taskbar.
Other report sections such as Usage history and battery capacity can help you check your laptop battery's health. To get many more details about your battery than you from the battery icon in the taskbar, remember this hidden trick.

From the author:
Loki has done some really weird shit. Who even knows why he does the things he does? One time, he dressed up like a woman with Thor to help get back his hammer. Another time, he leashed a goat to his balls just to get a laugh out of a lady.
I’m just saying, if there’s a figure in mythology that should really avoid judging other people, it’s Loki.
This little scene is from a bit of Norse myth called Lokasenna, The Binding of Loki (Loki’s Flyting, Loki’s Quarrel). The story seems to be a late addition to Norse myth (or at the very least, one that was not very popular) and tells of the gods’ quarrel with Loki, the Sly One. In it, the gods assemble to discuss matters in their hall. Loki, hearing of the meeting, but not being invited himself, crashes the party and finds himself facing hostility. Loki decides to cause trouble and begins insulting the other gods who, in turn, insult him back. Loki mocks each god, including Odin, until Thor arrives. Thor, threatening to knock Loki’s head from his shoulders for being so insolent, is the only one that actually manages to shut Loki up. Knowing that Thor is the only one would actually follow through on his threat, Loki leaves the hall and disguises himself as a salmon living in a waterfall. The other gods catch him and punish him for his crimes and the problems he has caused them. The end result sees Loki bound to a boulder, a snake hanging above him with its fangs dripping venom onto his forehead. His wife, Sigyn, holds a basin above him, catching the venom before it reaches him, but when she goes to empty the dish, bits of poison reach Loki causing him to thrash violently, causing earthquakes. There he stays until Ragnarok when he will be released along with his monstrous children.
One of the most interesting bits of Lokasenna is where Loki insults Odin, questioning the honors he has bestowed on faint-hearted warriors and, more specifically, charging Odin with ergi for practicing seidhr, woman’s magic. The first interesting bit is that Loki clearly engages in a number of unmanly activities, what with him turning into a female horse and giving birth to a foal. In Lokasenna, Odin mentions another story (which is unattested in other sources) wherein Loki becomes a milkmaid and gives birth to human children. Seems a bit hypocritical to be calling other people unmanly when he’s so fond of taking the female form and having children, but hey I guess it takes one to know one.
The second interesting thing is that there are stories about the chief of the Norse gods being labeled ergi, a pretty substantial charge as we discussed in the last blog post. There are a few possibilities as to why this even occurs. The first being that Odin was the chief of the gods, but not necessarily the most popular. Odin was a god to be respected and feared, the lord of death and war, but also of poetry and magic. You would respect Odin, but you wouldn’t necessarily invite him over for tea. By contrast, it’s likely that Thor was immensely popular with the common people (though I suppose you wouldn’t invite him to tea either). Where Odin is shrouded in mystery and a little bit of fear, Thor represents everything that is Norse. He is strong, manly, powerful. Stories about him can be funny, but they mostly depict him as a heroic figure to be loved and respected.
It’s also possible that Odin, being a figure of magic, is simply associated with all types of sorcery. Men’s magic, the magic of the runes, words, and poetry, is clearly the primary domain of Odin, but he is also capable of prophecy, has vast stores of hidden knowledge, wields magical weapons and possesses magical items, and is known to practice the little understood craft of Seidhr.
Ultimately, it’s probably a bit of both.
Whatever mysteries surround the subject of Norse mythology, one thing is abundantly clear:
Loki is absolutely ridiculous.
