India is following EU's footsteps. Per a report by Livemint, policymakers in India are about to enforce USB-C connectors on all smartphones and laptops....
Well, apart from the free movement of people and goods, the common currency, the gdpr, the international students and the consumer protection what has the EU ever done for us?
They already are illegal. The problem is the police are corrupt and they're bought off, and the central government doesn't really care that much, so they don't do anything about it.
If you actually report these people sometimes they do get arrested, it just depends on who the chief of police in that area is. There's a reason they're all in the same part of India and it's because the police in that area have been bought off.
Can’t wait until USB-D is the standard and these dumb areas countries are stuck using outdated devices because someone mandated a technology that will go obsolete faster than the law can be changed.
Your comprehension of this technology is so limited that you actually think that's how it works.
The letter simply indicates that the physical wiring in the cable is different to a previous iteration of the USB standard. There isn't a great deal of reason that they would change that now it has a pretty good potential for energy transfer and high data transfer speeds. In 15 years they might be looking at changing it but not any time soon.
Usb and B came out at the same time in the '90s for god's sake.
Ah yes, let's go back to that amazing time of pure innovation where every fucking company had their own connector standard for data, power and audio. Good times.
Some of us live in functioning democracies where "switch to USB-D" won't come with an "it's illegal to give your son a name that wasn't previous a job title" attachment.
