      I dunno about the SA law but the EU law mandates USB-PD support.

      Of course they can’t mandate the wattage level since every device will have different wattage needs, but I can use my $35 100W USB-PD charger with any USB device I have at home just fine

      Or, it’s totally not a non-issue? Like, I remember the time when you had to carry around a fucking proprietary charger for every single fucking device?

      Yeah, no shit, you can’t power your megaultragaminglaptop4000™ with a 5 V 500 mA charger. Whodathunk.

          🥱 Oh look, Mr Gotcha is still on it.

          Honey, you were so close from realizing what utter bullshit you’re talking when you moved from „tHeY jUsT sTaNdArDiZeD a CoNnEcToR“ to „it’s a collection of standards!“.

          Don’t cry, you can still use as many chargers as you want, that’s okay. You’re okay.

          You said it yourself „leave standards to experts“. I suggest you do that and go outside and play with the other 3rd graders, mh?

              Look, there’s no need to repeat your incoherent drivel ad nauseam. Nobody cares what the fuck you think other people will do.

              The only valuable thing you’ve said in the last days was, again, „leave standards to experts“.

              Since you seem to be really slow on the uptake: you’re not one of them.

              Now please go outside and play with the other children, okay?

      When I’m travelling, I can bring one single charger to charge my laptop, my phone, my tablet, my wireless earbuds, my flashlight, my powerbank, my e-Reader and my bike pump.

      In your world I would have to bring eight different chargers. That’s a pretty big issue to me.
