Topic	EU proposes mandatory USB-C on all devices to cut down on waste
archedsoul 09/23/21 12:20:41 PM #37:	CoorsLight posted... The possession of older accessories was already wasteful because you buy a new one and it comes with a charger, now you have two and you don't need both. The other main part of this if you look at the article is making it easier for people to buy new products without a new charger. Yes there is going to be waste in changing but eventually it should be a net positive once it gets widely adopted Huh? They don't include them and if the point is to keep using old ones, then... Questionmarktarius posted... Remember the epic shitstorm when New 3DS didn't include a charger? Bio1590 posted... lmao that one was great. People were pretending like Nintendo wouldn't have just charged them the extra amount if they had included it. Both were bad, but Nintendo was egregious. Apple and Samsung include the cable. You just need a charger brick. It's also not aimed at kids. Nintendo included nothing for something that's proprietary and used only for that line of systems and aimed at kids. And no, the price would not have gone up from $199.99. Since it was depreciated tech by then and they managed it before and it costs like $1 to make. It was a purely greedy move. --- "Fear cuts deeper than swords." <cite>archedsoul posted [p:958331835] in EU propose...
