      Congrats, the new standard charging plug of the #EU is born and it's USB-C!

    Is this gonna put an end to this #apple (Lightning) bullshit? For all modern, usually Android based, devices this doesn't change a thing at all - in effect. Actually, many small devices like rechargeable keyboard, mice, headsets, even fans and air pumps are all already using USB-C as well. Just as in other things, apple does just literally worse. Lightning has just slower data rates, slower charging and is probably even the less durable variant anyway. No need to name all the other toxic moves apple takes against their customers.

    I guess time will show and the cheapest route will be taken and ideally we will see less trash produced in the end… well and perhaps less need for adapters but the option to share a cable with someone who "bit the apple".
