USB-C is such a terrible connector.
Moreover, it is not good for power.
PoE devices IMHO are better for power delivery and I am hardly a fan of PoE.
But I have had so many USB-C cables fail on me over the years.
How many RJ45 cables have I had fail on me over the decades? Fewer than the USB-C cables.
Even post-Steve Jobs Apple run by the greedy fuckwit Tim Cook eventually realized that the "MacBook with Retina Display" powered only by USB-C was a bad idea and they brought back the MagSafe connector (albeit in MagSafe 3 and unlike the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 adapter, the greedy post-Steve Jobs Tim Cook CrApple has not, AFAIK, released a Mag-Safe to MagSafe 3 adapter; even though you know Apple was making a hefty profit on those $10 dealios.)
I read someone recently write something to the effect that maybe the USA will become irrelevant because of the EU.
I don't think so.
Maybe, at best the EU will be sort of more progressive and help offer some mild push back to rampant capitalism gone wrong. Sort of how maybe some GDPR protections spill over to web users outside of the EU, sometimes. Just as California's CCPA protections maybe help others outside of California on occasion because the InterGALACTIC Network of Computers in reality never has been and never will be constrained to any one geographic locale even if most folks choose to ignore that the Internet is a contraction of the Intergalactic Network of Computers because of reasons that aren't worth getting into.
I guess, maybe USB-C will reduce the number of Apple Lighting crap (which is also a cable with extremely high failure rates in my experience, but still not as high as USB-C) slightly?
I doubt it.
