@EUCommission good idea but I have all sizes of USB plus lightning, loads of adaptors and cables with different USBs either end plus loads of chargers of which only one has USB C.

@EUCommission
This post is confusing.

@EUCommission Audio industry needs an option for something with low ripple, simplified negotiation (there's still no sufficiently affordable, easy-to-implement, reliable solution to this! PD micros cost more than the rest of my BoM combined!) and better physical robustness. It can replace the barrel jack with some of these features but it's not there yet.

@EUCommission The problem is OEMs produces various USB-C that don't deliver what users expect.

Remember that moment when the USB C cable you ordered could not transfer data? Or it transferred data, but only in USB 2.0 speed? Or it charges, but not fast charging? Etc.

We need regulation that make sure users can walk into the shop and buy any USB C and can expect it works as expected.

@EUCommission but what about my gaming laptop?

@EUCommission

hahaha

One port to rule them all.

@EUCommission
Ein..., ein..., ein...!

@EUCommission
I had to buy USB-A hub because new laptop has only one port and i still have camera, mic, rpi, sound d/a with 'old' port.

So, no, it is still wasting..

@EUCommission I am very happy about the issue at hand. Well done, European Union!

It is the very first line of this post that carries very bad vibes for most Austrians and Germans.

@EUCommission Please broaden the application of USB-C charging. For example, it’s a complete mess with pedelec chargers right now, and with USB-PD at 240 W, there’s really no excuse for bulky proprietary expensive chargers you have to carry in your saddle bags.

@EUCommission En serio???... Tenemos amenazas reales muy serias, Rusia y ahora Estados Unidos sin embargo se nos va el tiempo en tapones imperdibles y cargadores. China nos a subido aranceles, nuestros agricultores están descontentos con los últimos acuerdos firmados, Groenlandia , eh! Pero tenemos una cargador para todo... Problema resuelto. Sigan así que luego cuando Patriotas por Europa tenga ms escaños se preguntaran por que.

@EUCommission

Wait until #donald declares this #woke or #transgender or #satanic or something

@EUCommission what about my car, can I charge it with USB Type-C in 3 years too? 😅

@EUCommission Also bei mir ist der „Abfall“ von Kabeln nicht weniger geworden… Mal sehen, ob die EU mit diesem Schritt nicht künftige Innovationen ausbremst. 🙄🥴

@EUCommission

Sometimes, you choose to do the right thing.
I hope this will evolve into a trend, in 2026.

@EUCommission We already have dozens different USB-C cables, different charging voltages and currents, so while everything is USB-C, it only looks the same.

@EUCommission

👍

@EUCommission It's a great move ngl, but you should have also defined a standard implementation of it, it's not great when Apple or Nintendo both have USB-C but they work differently

@EUCommission
Good work!
