Today is the day. Welcome to THE charger!
USB-C is officially the common standard for charging electronic devices in the EU.
This means:
🔌The same charger for all new phones, tablets and cameras
⚡ Harmonised fast-charging technology
🔄 Reduced e-waste
🛑 No more “Sorry, I don’t have the right cable”
One charger to rule them all.
@EUCommission as a Linux enthusiast I'm still waiting for this law to be implemented.
**There were discussions around unlocking devices (like smartphones and tablets) once manufacturers cease software support.
The idea is that when a device becomes obsolete or unsupported, consumers should be able to access its firmware or repair it without legal or technical barriers.**
We have so many phones laying around that could really benefit everyone in the long term.
