I wonder if Europe just lucked out there or if someone there actually had that in mind when setting the spectrum.

- kranke155 4y agoThe European Union is surprisingly technocratic, which is why a lot of complaints from Americans about EU regulation seem archaic to us. (Ie the debate that always pops here in HN about the EU restricting innovation by forcing chargers - this all sounds silly to Europeans because we’ve never seen them make a bad decision and stick to it for decades after it’s outdated US style).
- JasonFruit 4y agoI'm not able to parse the bit about "the EU restricting innovation by forcing chargers". What kind of chargers are we talking about?
- danhor 4y agoThe EU requires a USB-C PD compatible charging port for smartphones and other small devices starting in 2024(?). This is primarily directed at lightning.
