The EU is enforcing USB-C on portable devices

<< < (41/111) > >>

coppercone2:
actually I am convinced that this is retarded now, study a interconnects catalog to see innovation in interconnects, for instance very impressive connectors that are are not sensitive to alignment (1mm play for a 400A connection!).

and thats just something I randomly stumbled onto on digikey the other day. USB C is gonna look like knob and wire in the future

1) Market already settled on USB-C
2) Regulator agrees, and pushes the remaining resisting bad actors for the forseeable future, avoiding waste of resources for futile OEM agenda.
3) Regulator is smarter than usual, and lets USB consortium free to handle a compatible sucessor
4) if you wanna push your new standard foward, you'll have to argue with USB consortium how it is backwards and forwards compatible with all the usb-C hardware out there, and what added value it provides towards the standard.

Makes sense.
And more important, it sets the precedent as a warning to every company seeking to foolishly monopolize/monetize the design of a critical interconnect in the future: MAKE IT BLOODY OPEN, SO IT CAN BE ADOPTED BY OTHERS, and is an actual interconnect, and not just a waste of resources !! Winner takes it all.

Interconnects, as the nme suggests are meant to INTER CONNECT, not to bar from compatibility by using planned incompatibility as a tool for OEMs

But wouldn't all that just turn the USB consortium into the very same monster that everyone (apparently) hates?

Asking for a friend.

f4eru:
If it gets slower than regulator writers, it will lose it's legitimation by regulators, yes.
That's kind of difficult to achieve, but probably doable.

For smartphones and high end laptops. There are many, many other gadgets that still use mini, micro or something else, which i why i welcome the decision of "everything USB-C", especially now that simpler,cheaper connecors that just expose USB 2.0 or power are widely available from even the "brand" distributors, which you are forced to use sometimes.
