@staticnoisexyz I know that ^{^} but for anything I replace in the future, I will have to buy new cables (or new cables will come with it, same result). Rather than mandate the long-established USB-A, for which billions of cables are in use world-wide, the EU is mandating a new bullshit standard, which will necessitate world-wide replacement of hardware.

Great gift for the tech industry, horrible for reducing waste.
