Is this really what we as a society should spend our focus on? What percentage of landfills are phone chargers? 0.01% maybe?

- mmastrac 4y agoDon't forget random wall warts, random laptop power supplies, etc. All of these random DC power standards have been brutal for creating e-waste. I try to keep my power supplies organized and I have a few boxes full of them with various voltages, currents, etc. The forcing function of laptops and other hardware needing to work off the common USB-C PD levels will drastically improve the situation. GaN tech is getting cheaper all the time, and the PD chips required to make all of this tech work are super cheap. Eventually I hope we end up with USB-C-at-the-wall alongside power ports as a standard.
