Ask Apple? Real people spent a lot of time and effort on Thunderbolt and now their effort is actually illegal in Europe, not an outcome I imagine they ever thought possible.
- Eisenstein 4y agoSince when do we cry over Apple's connector choices being left behind? There happens to be a not-very-small list of them.
- revelio 4y agoI don't want to get into a connector pissing match. It's a response to this question: > Why do we need another one when the USB committee doesn't think we do? Answer: maybe ask the people with alternative tech? They presumably have answers. It's nonsense to assume the USB Consortium are the only people who can design cables and connectors, there are other companies that have done so.
- AmericanChopper 4y agoThe EU’s regulation would prevent the USB Consortium from introducing new connectors.
- Eisenstein 4y ago> It's nonsense to assume the USB Consortium are the only people who can design cables and connectors, there are other companies that have done so. Sure. There are plenty of people who can design power delivery systems to residences, and plenty of people who can design radio transmitters, and plenty of people who can make road signs... I shall weep for all of them who have the boot placed upon their necks by those dastardly regulators.
