Gregory's Server@Reemt @EU_Commission @joshbuchea I’m in the EU. It’s OK, and I’m glad I will be able to have less cables lying around in the future. My concern is: will we need to wait for the law to change in order to have better connectors in the future? I don’t think any connector can claim to be so perfect that won’t need any improvement ever. Will innovation need to wait for law-makers to reach us?

@ctbk Not really. The law has provisions for replacements. If the USB-IF releases USB type D, the law will be updated. This law only targets devices with custom incompatible connectors. |
@ctbk oh I’m sorry, I misread your initial post. My fault.
And I do share your concern. I’m somewhat optimistic that USB-C is somewhat futureproof, since 240 watts seems plenty for all the devices it’s a requirement for. But nobody can predict the future and being hindered by the legislated plug would be really annoying.
