Lilbits: Anker Power Bank recall, Steam for Apple Silicon, and the latest Xbox handheld rumor

There are literally thousands of power banks available for folks looking for a portable battery that you can use to recharge your phone, tablet, and other gear on the go. Anker makes some of the most popular models, so you could say the company's products are hot. But sometimes they might be a little too hot.

Case in point: Anker has just issued a recall for PwoerCore 10,000 mAh power banks manufactured between 2016 and 2019 due to a risk that they could overheat and catch fire or cause burns. The company continued selling those models for several years after it stopped making them, so the recall is said to apply to 1,158,000 power banks. If you have an affected device, you should stop using it and visit the Anker website for details about how to get a gift card or replacement power bank.
