I really hate the usb-c charger on my macbook, it unplugs all the time, and it wears out quickly.

I love the apple magnetic chargers...

With this new ruling, competition on new charging connection stops.. European Union should really stop with these crazy rules... The cookie wall has also been a big disaster. They just don't understand technology.

You’re allowed to set as many cookies as you want without asking. You’re just not allowed to set cookies that enable you or a third party to collect personally identifiable data without the users consent. I know how much this sucks for both publishers and customers, but it helps a lot to be more precise.

I was going through my box of old electronics recently- 15 different chargers for phones, laptops,and what not. Not so long time ago we had one for Nokia, one for Siemens, and yet another one for Motorola. It was awful and hopefully this can end it all. As for shoving cookies down my throat every time open a website: that's all great, we all need 150 random companies adding their own version of tracking. Really the best use of technology.
