The regulation is worded to require whatever the USB-IF currently requires, which is what companies that adopted USB already follow. The concern here died before the ink on the law even dried.

It literally does not, as evidenced by the state of chargers in the 2000s and early 2010s, before the EU threatened to regulate if phone companies didn't get their shit together. Back then you'd have a different charger design for virtually every phone, including new models of the same phone. USB only became ubiquitous because the EU told companies to stop fucking around and legislate themselves, or the EU would make formal legislation. Most companies got the memo, but Apple decided to be cunts for long enough that the EU decided they needed to finally step in.

Consumer-based regulation being the end-all is based off the classical- and neoliberal ideas that humans are rational actors and companies have a greater incentive to compete than to collude. Both of which are lies.

Intelligence to a dumbass is someone agreeing with what they already think, not actual intelligence

Libertarianism had an active conservative population long before Trump was around. They're the "taxes are theft and government gets in the way of the free market" conservatives dialed to 11

Musk fanboys are like MAGAs, nothing will change their opinion

Alright well whichever you are, your deflection and arguments are lackluster. I'm gonna stop responding.

Are you a troll or do you actually think your tiny little bubble is indicative of what the entire planet is going through?

Not sure why you're assuming the people smart enough to create these major inventions aren't also smart enough to understand their generation as a whole helped barrel us towards a climate disaster

Fuck that he needs to suffer appropriate consequences for breaking the law. Being content with just him never winning an election again tells others like him that they won't be punished for their actions, and just have to be more subtle next time.

Because there will be a next time.

It really wouldn't, it's bullshit and theater

Great work! Though some constructive criticism would be to add a header row to the columns, so if someone goes back to just the picture a while from now, they'll more easily understand/remember they're looking at descriptions and substitutions of the left column

Disappointed to the extreme

Anything can happen to anybody but cognitive decline is far more likely as you get up there in age

Thanks!

Activating your almonds, I see

Recipe?

Oh I totally agree about that, we need to move away from the ubiquitous use of plastics that don't biodegrade in relatively short order

Ah fair, apologies if I misread the tone

Synthetic isn't inherently bad just because some synthetic things are bad. Until we get more information on this thing, your snark is entirely baseless
