After the European Commission held a public consultation on whether they should adopt what they call a “fair share” proposal, they unfortunately voted to move forward with this dangerous plan. This proposal is nothing but a network usage fees regime, which would force certain companies to pay internet service providers (ISPs) for their ability to deliver content to consumers. This idea not only hurts consumers, but also breaks a status quo that facilitated and continues to facilitate the rapid spread of the global internet.

    keeping chargers the same will reduce e-waste as people can use USB-C to charge many devices

    That’s my point… we already could charge many devices from the chargers we had

      Yeah and most people have USB-C chargers nowadays. It will just get rid of other connector forms and going forward unify it. It’s awesome.

      If you are a heavy Apple user that might be annoying for you. But in the gran scheme of things that’s the minority.
