Not even battery chargers are safe. Why can’t they just use the power from the PC instead? Seems like they want to get all fancy and install a graphical battery level meter and other notifications.
Energizer has issued a statement acknowledging the issue. The company said it has discontinued sale of this product and has removed the site to download the software. In addition, Energizer is directing consumers that downloaded the Windows version of the software to uninstall or otherwise remove the software from your computer.
Okaaayyyy.... they "acknowledge the issue" -- but -- what I want to know is who put it in there, and when did they know about it?
But... Is this even possible? How exactly would it work?
"The Energizah...it'll surprise 'ya.....OY!!!"
Not sure why you need software on your computer in order to charge some batteries. Maybe to save your laptop battery if it’s not plugged into an AC outlet?
How do I run a DLL on my Mac?
OTOH, I am getting a little worried, and am going to have to dig into VMWare Fusion a bit more. Its Windows/Mac integration features are starting to get so good to where you run a Windows app in the Mac UI, and it just starts the VM behind the scenes for it and opens it with an integrated Window.
Time to start being a bit more careful.
I have never trusted that hyper-bunny,
