Quote : UK will not copy EU demand for common charging cable

The U.K. is a standards taker not a maker. No one cares what they mandate these days.

The US better makes sure to solve their fuckup in EV charging connectors....

I don't know what the standards would have done but I would hope you put a range of loads on the adapter. If they are passing tests but causing an issue well then legally everyone is in the clear and the legislators need to go and have another think about how to deal with it.

I know for a fact that Apple’s earliest USB chargers, the ones sold for iPods, could cause touchscreen problems on the iPhone, which is why Apple released a new iPhone USB Charger with the iPhone. All of them are absolutely EMC tested and don’t really spare any expenses inside.

(For what it’s worth, I think I used the iPod charger on my iPhone without issue, but it’s been 15 years so don’t hold me to it!!)

Something seriously wrong there, tested or not, wasn't there a recall of laptop charger due to people getting shocks off the earth pins. No point in companies using compatibility as an excuse to sell shit when it is just shit and dangerous shit at that.

What are you talking about? The issue I’m referring to was one of it being just noisy enough to mess with the touchscreen. That’s not a build quality issue, and certainly not one of safety. Those chargers were still built to the highest safety standards (for real, because Apple doesn’t fuck around in that regard).

You guys need to learn to stop multi-multi-multi-multi quoting messages in that nested fashion. It’s something that’s part of the arcane nature of ancient forum software, but it it HIDEOUSLY ugly and unreadable. From an aesthetic perspective it should have been ripped out of forum code many years ago.

Who on earth has the time to sit and read a quote inside a quote inside a quote inside a quote inside a quote?!

Pedants quote that way. 🤦‍♂️

Bud:
Finaly a useful post from user eti.
