Dear hardware tinkerer fediverse. <3 Can I just draw power from a USB power bank? As in: just solder two pins from another device that currently feeds of a 5V DC (probably around 500mA) power brick to the + and - of a USB cable and it will work or is there more fairy dust to it and I need some kind of active device in the mix? (Retoots appreciated, will retweet the answer in this thread)
