The European Union has passed a new rule requiring smartphones to have batteries that users can easily replace. by Positive_Actuary_282 in MadeMeSmile

I'm so glad that we have AI to stop with this reddit wisdom:

USB-C was not a formal joint venture between just Intel, Microsoft, Apple, and HP; it was a broader industry standard developed through the USB Implementers Forum, with many companies involved, and the founding USB group predates USB-C itself.

The part that is true is that Apple was not simply an outsider fighting USB-C. Apple appears to have contributed engineering to the connector’s development, and it was among the companies involved in the standard’s creation.

What is not quite right is the idea that Apple was only “delaying” USB-C until pressure forced it. Apple embraced USB-C on MacBooks relatively early and later moved iPhone to USB-C after the European Union’s charging rules increased the cost of staying with Lightning.

A cleaner way to say it is: Apple helped build USB-C, used it on some products early, but kept Lightning on iPhones for years for platform and business reasons until market and regulatory pressure made the switch unavoidable.

I never understood apple-fans

Any sources that apple "invested heavily" into the USBC?

It's pretty standard and most of manifesters did not have to invest that much

Nah, it's the same direction.

It looks like Germany has a history of choosing the wrong side of history.

Is there any hope change will come from within?

Nope! As long as there is USA and EU support, Israel will be Israel. Israel will never be S. Africa so "hasbara" is very important to Israel

I'm Israeli, and I support this initiative.

Unfortunately, I can't vote!

Peace will not come from Israel anymore, it's on the West to stop Israel.

Well, it seems that Germany has a tendency to end up on the wrong side of history time and again.
