Fucking based.

Not an argument, considering you have no idea what the word means. You are being even less based right now.
God I hate Yanks.
Glad we're leaving the shithole
iTODDLERS BTFO
The same regulation got us from heaps of proprietary connectors, chargers and sync cables on old cellphones to the current much better situation of everything having MicroUSB or USB C.
maybe they should force apple to make cables that dont prematurely decompose on contact with sunlight
They're fucking delusional if they think this will cut down on e-waste. USB cables are flimsy piece of shit.
lul what, The EU is designing electronics now? Is the government going to mandate what ports are on what devices now? What is this horseshit?
I hope apple just drops all ports entirely and goes with wireless charging, just to spit in the EU's face.
...and that's a good thing
First of all they're not, Apple shit is. See .
Secondly you don't need a cable for every device if they all use USB. You do if they have proprietary cables.
kek
Imagine the ebil government is also forcing seatbelts and headlights on poor car makers.
it's about the environment, retards
Cuz that's totally the same thing as having a port on your phone.
>>You are being even less based right now.
>when a shill is trying to use internet lingo
how's it booming my friend?
When were you when the EU became this good?
>Cuz
OPINION DISCARDED
yeah, cuz corporate cucks would rather save money on seatbelts if there wasn't a law that made them put them in cars.
The same environment that's being trying to kill us since humanity existed? Fuck it.
>No argument
Feels good to win.
based and redpilled
wtf i love EU now
Waste is polluting the environment. The environment is public property.
So companies should either pay for the damage they do on other people's property or cut that shit out.
Yeah, because the consumer is soo dumb that they would buy a car without seatbelts because its $20 less. Nice absurd world you live in.
cringe and bluepilled
im conflicted on this. its authoritarian but really practical. someone convince me either way
The companies aren't producing waste, the consumers are.
While I am pro-standards I'm not really sure how I feel about the EU forcing a company to comply. That seems like a big overreach on the part of the government.
by providing plenty of resources and a climate that is relatively stable and highly compatible with life? Hmmmmmm
>having one standard power outlet instead of 60 different kinds is bad.
