GDPR is toothless. Next you’re going to tell us the Cookie banner worked out real well too or forcing a company to convert their devices to USBC. Wow big wins.

- sholladay 4y agoGDPR was toothless during the transition period. They are starting to hand out fines now. Cookie banners suck, but also the EU didn’t mandate cookie banners. They are only a means to get consent. A bad one at that. A company that cares about the user will only set essential cookies until the user explicitly opts in to advertising/analytics/etc, perhaps in exchange for something. It could be a toggle in your account settings or a button in the footer. There’s no need for the implementation to be obtuse. Companies are just greedy. You should push back against their bad business practices. USB-C is great. If all you use is a phone, then it may not seem like mandating USB-C changes much, but this is a big deal for camera equipment, radios, and other electronics.
