    Luckily usb-c is probably gonna stick around for a while and it’s just a form factor. The standard itself has room to grow, and the EU left the rules open to change.

    But I understand the concern, legislating tech sucks. On the other hand, when companies care almost exclusively about profit, not customers or the future of our planet, and won’t improve things themselves… not a lot of other options.
