Gregory's Server@EUCommission The amount of apple fanboys I've seen the last year saying this is bad move is both hilarious and sad.
I'm on Android but I'm still very glad this change happened

 @thibaultmol @EUCommission No the point being made was Apple (often being painted as the problem) had been using the lighting connector on every device since 2012 before USB-C was a thing while companies like Samsung, Hauwei, Motorola, Nokia, Honor etc... had been shipping out new ranges of phones every year some with USB-C some with micro-USB (from 2007) even as this law was being discussed.  @kDelta @EUCommission I'm aware... But budget phones for the longest time still used micro-b. @thibaultmol @EUCommission And? Why? I bought a €3.50 Qi charger from Ikea almost a decade ago and it had USB-C. Why did phones have miro-USB? Could Apple have used micro-USB up until this year? You can't have a double standard just to have a jab at Apple. That would make you a hypocrite Sir. @kDelta budget phones used micro B because it was cheaper than usb-c.... Why the f*** are you getting so angry about this?! XDDD I don't know why you're getting so emotionally frustrated in this discussion. (The only logical conclusion is that you are one of those apple fanboys (I can tell by your profile) and now you feel attacked.....) Bye, I've got better things to do @thibaultmol @kDelta Yikes. You might wanna step away from the keyboard for a moment.  @thibaultmol Apple fanboys suffer from a psychiatric problem. They cannot bear the existence of anyone with a complaint against Apple. So they try desperately to shut such a person up completely. @chemoelectric LOL, He's upset because he reported your reply to my instance for moderation. (it's a report coming from his instance so I'm pretty sure it's him). @thibaultmol Oh, I almost forgot to block him. I block Apple fanboys. Not Apple users. Just the nutballs. @thibaultmol @EUCommission Mr Reply-and-Block it seems to be you who is the angry one about this. If you didn’t want to continue the discussion just stop and feel free to block, but to try and pretend you finished the discussion, just petty. The point I was making was that USC-C was evidently cheap enough if a €3.50 Qi charger can have it. Additionally cheap is not always the answer anyway. As to me being an “Apple Fanboy” I’m actually currently taking Apple to court for something. 🤷♂️ @thibaultmol @EUCommission (American) Apple fan here, I’d like to thank the EU for doing what capitalism and my own government wouldn’t.  @EUCommission @thibaultmol I have not seen a single one. I have seen many people even outside of the EU that are thankful that the EU now finally forces Apple to use USB-C. @melgu Even here on mastodon i'm seeing many fanboys crying to the EU for forcing apple and others to adopt USB-C. it's wild...  @thibaultmol @EUCommission Meh, the iPad has used USB-C a while now, about time the iPhone did too. |
@thibaultmol Meanwhile Apple apparently protecting their batteries …
The war continues!
