Gregory's Server@EU_Commission Great, so likely stuck with a standard that will be surpassed by a better standard in a few years. Let's hope the EU keeps pace with innovation over bureaucracy!

@elliottucker @nonsequitur @EU_Commission there needs to be an EU standard socket first, Ireland and Italy need to get in the game @vitaminsludge @nonsequitur @EU_Commission but type G is the best so why? Type B is cute tho. @elliottucker @vitaminsludge @EU_Commission Chuck Norris would be a Type G if he were a plug. The rest are stupid. Okay, I'd give the Swiss plug a pass. @nonsequitur @elliottucker @EU_Commission ok well then make it trivial to get an a adapter in Ireland @vitaminsludge @elliottucker @EU_Commission There are 20 pages of Type G adapter options on ye olde Amazon site. @elliottucker @vitaminsludge @EU_Commission And don't even bother arguing, there are no series of contrary statements that you could make that would alter the facts. @vitaminsludge @elliottucker @EU_Commission ...but an entirely different proposition to which is safer/better - which was the original point. @nonsequitur @elliottucker @EU_Commission I have a load of USB C cables here and half won't charge anything, some don't carry data and some just sit there and look pretty @vitaminsludge @nonsequitur @EU_Commission having shit cheap cables of unknown provenance has nothing to do with this. That’s a purchase choice. @nonsequitur @elliottucker @EU_Commission Yes! But how do they get into the EU? Weak import control. @vitaminsludge @nonsequitur @EU_Commission in the boxes of desktop humidifiers and vapes. @elliottucker @nonsequitur @EU_Commission the CE mark is abused and substandard products can waltz straight in @vitaminsludge @nonsequitur @elliottucker @EU_Commission i have 3 good usbc cables and 3 anker chargers. One of them is 4 years old. The other 2 are 2 yr old. No problem so far. Can charge my phones, laptops, tablet, earbuds, powerbank without any problem @vitaminsludge @elliottucker @EU_Commission Hell now, the British style plug is by FAR the best and safest. We don't need more Euro-weeny muck thank you! |
@nonsequitur @EU_Commission 2Ogbps and 100W will be plenty for a mobile and laptop cable for a while. If not, we have bigger problems.
