@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).
That's really funny and proving my point.

A screenshot from the Mastodon moderation interface shows a report notification. The text reads, "mastodon.ie reported Barry Schwartz." Below, it shows "51 seconds ago · 1 post attached" with the reason listed as "Other." A small profile picture of a person holding a bottle is visible next to the report.

@thibaultmol I doubt Stux is going to censor me on my instance. :)

@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. 🤷‍♂️

Just a copy of his post you can see but I cannot reply to as he blocked me. To give context to my reply.
