Interim executives typically function as temporary replacements, stepping into…

Every piece of tech in my tightly packed bag needs to earn its keep by doing at least two jobs.As such, I’m a sucker for anything that can serve more than one purpose and does so on the cheap. Anker happens to make a lot of that type of stuff.If you’ve bought an aftermarket charger or power bank in the last decade, you’ve probably seen the name. I’ve found their gear to be equal parts reliable and budget-friendly in…
