EU rules on common chargers apply to laptops from today. It means that all new laptops sold in the European Union must now support USB-C charging.

In December 2024, the rules came into force for mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, headphones, videogame consoles, and portable speakers.

Laptop manufacturers were given a longer lead in time to allow for redesign and transition to the common charging system.

    The way Ursula obtained that re-election was not pretty. Perhaps not as unsightly as Trump’s second rise to power, but still not a resounding show of democracy.

    Referring to member states that don’t have their shit in order is as weak as the low bar set by OP.

      If you want democracy, you have to expect and accept disagreement. Even if it’s as shitty and fucked up as chat control.

      Which the majority doesnt want.
