@EUCommission Whatever happened to good old fashioned competition?
By requiring all companies to use the same connector, innovation is no longer legally practical.
Now every portable computer I buy has a mechanically and electically inferior power connector; inferior to much of what came before.
Harmonisation is all well and good. Why not harmonise something actually good? A bigger, thicker power connector with more copper and data/video on a separate cable.
Oh wait. It's the EU. Nevermind.
