EU Parliament adopts rules for common charger for electronic devices

  After discussing it many times, I am still sceptical if EU should "hardcode" in the law mandatory use of an old technology. Seeing the USB connection history (e.g. https://gct.co/usb-connector/usb-history-timeline https://gct.co/usb-connector/usb-history-timeline) it is surely the incumbrance of the future developments.

    Old technology? In what way? Why is that a bad thing to begin with? The law explicitly includes a provision for future improvements, the USB Industry Forum are free to recommend new standards to augment or supersede USB-C.

  Ports are archaic technology. Next they’ll mandate Facebook.
