      I’ve been waiting for this day! So many useless chargers lying around, such a hassle to replace them if they break.

      Hasnt this been a thing for several years now in regards to all electric devices?

      I’m charging my Acer laptop by usb-c right now in Melbourne. Makes Life easier.

      Have an 8 year old Lenovo with a USB-C charging cable.

      Always been really handy fast charging my phone too.

      I wish the standard had been something other than usb-c though, flimsy-ass connector that just bends and breaks.

      but at least we finally have a standard.

      Think of a scenario where a superior connector had been available a decade ago. This compact connector, tailored for handheld devices, would have possessed the remarkable ability to be inserted in either orientation.

      Wait, the Lightning connector and around billion lightning accessories already available. But let’s ditch that. In the EU, we should consider opting for a new, larger connector, not specifically designed for mobile devices!

      What about high end laptops? Pretty sure I can’t charge my 330w gaming laptop with USB C.

      Good otherwise though.

      One thing I haven’t understood about this regulation is if it allows for innovations to be made. What about when USB-C will become obsolete? And are we now halting companies from inventing new, better cables?

      Workstation- and gaming-notebooks will probably continue to feature proprietary chargers or multiple USB-C ports to charge devices.

      This is nice, but one of my older xps laptops which has usb c charging still won’t charge with 3rd party chargers.

      The usb c standard itself still makes proprietary chargers possible. I think switch 2 also had something like this, although I am not sure if it was charging or only display. Simply mean that I hope the legislation is a bit more specific on how it’s implemented.

      Apple fanboys should be grateful that they don’t have to wait forever on data transfers and charging now. Imagine hating the EU for making your life better, lol.

      There will come a point in the next few years where it will finally be worth it to invest in some high quality 100W+ usb-C chargers, and replace all the crappy 10W stuff I’ve assembled over the many years.

      My only issue with this, is that many laptops are really poorly made, and the USB C ends up breaking in no time :/

      That, and the fact that I’ve had two USB C cables that I use for charging that died on me, I don’t know if it’s the terminations twisting or something, and no longer making contact or what, but yeah, it doesn’t work anymore
