This less waste thing is such a lie. Every device you buy comes with a USB-C cable and these cables are of such a low quality that you will have to throw them away every year or so.
I have a suspicion why the EU officials mandated USB-C cables was because all the Eurocrats are snobs and have expensive Apple gadgets and found it inconvenient that they had to use a separate lightning cable for their iPhone. But I have a hunch that this should have been left to the consumers and the producers.
Basically, is USB-C the pinnacle of cable technology? Why do we need the EU to legislate on cables? Why doesn’t the EU have a company equivalent to Apple? Why does the EU only level silly regulations and fines on billion dollar US companies? Why are we celebrating this. None of the giant corporations pay adequate tax on their earnings. Pension funds in the EU nations have huge deficit, and it is only growing as the population is aging. Meanwhile fucking Amazon doesn’t pay any tax. I pay a fucking tax for boomers and single mothers.
