It was poorly implemented. USB-C isn’t even the best physical design of cable (and data transmission rates don’t mean anything to the vast majority of people). It generated a whole bunch of ewaste when it rolled out which was silly and avoidable had it been properly worded and thought through. There were also far, far, more impactful things the EU could have been using that effort for.

But hey, we can charge everything using USB-C so… yay? 😒

The more headlines like this that do the rounds the less people roll their eyes at me when I tell them I will not have Windows 11 in my house and proceed to preach the virtues of Linux haha
