   I'm thinking it'll drag on for an extra 5-ish years beyond what it maybe should due to the EU regulations requiring its use. So I'm going with 2035 at least? Pure layperson guessing, that.

     @Gurre I think as we move into a world where wasting energy, materials will carry greater prices, hazards we will need slower standards. This whole “new device every year” economy isn’t sustainable. It isn’t even fun or amusing anymore. If we do the right thing hardware changes will slow. We never are forced to learn to maximize a system before a new one replaces it. What if we tried that?

     Inductive tech has a place but it will never be as fast as copper.

     @futurebird And those extra 5 years are totally a price worth paying for USB-C becoming a de-facto global standard from now til then. Makes my life easier that most relevant devices we have at home & work are now on USB-C.
