Unified chargers, free roaming, travel, study and work everywhere in the EU, simple bank transfers with SEPA and Wero. EU makes life better. It' definitely not GoodEnoughâ„¢ in all parts.Work remains to be done. And that's worth doing!

@jwildeboer one charger works… bwahahahahaha…

What few USB C devices and cables I already have are already a tricky mess that has me completely fed up with it.

Now when you come to your friends' home and want to charge your phone, they give you their box of chargers and at least one of the three USB-C ones works… On most days. That's progress! 😂

@m0xEE oh, the chargers work, it’s the fucking cables that don’t

@mirabilos @m0xEE you can find a replacement at least. I think you dont remember the old usb cables with no USB-A end that were unique to each model/brand.

@f4grx @mirabilos @m0xEE I still have two old Samsung dumb phone chargers lying around for phones bought in the same decade.

They, at first glance seem to have the same type of charging plug and the same socket in the phones.

On closer inspection it becomes clear that although they have a similar design they only fit the phone that they were supplied with.

@m0xEE @f4grx oh, I do, no worries, I have some of these and they work.

It’s the stuff from after the EU USB C mandate that doesn’t.
