- mrtksn 3y agoIt's good because until you invent this new cable, we can have everything work with USB-C. Not betting on your ability to come up with a new type of charging cable is not as big deal as you imagining it is. Maybe you should come up with a prototype before demanding all type of charging cables be allowed?
- throwaway50606 3y agoAnd what do I do with the prototype then? There's nobody buying.
- mrtksn 3y agoThis probably means your invention don't add enough value. Throw it away like all other prototypes who fail to create enough value to warrant a production line.
- throwaway50606 3y agoNo, it means somebody regulated a single connector type.
- mrtksn 3y agoI guess all failed inventors and entrepreneurs have someone to blame.
- throwaway50606 3y agoNobody is even going to be trying after this comes into effect.
- bonzini 3y agoHaving three computers of different brands in the family (an HP, a Lenovo and a Microsoft Surface), it's certainly been useful in the past to be able to share a single charging port for all computers and most phones in the family. In fact, USB-C and magsafe are complementary. USB-C is commonly used by displays to provide docking station functionality, so I can buy any display and use it with any computer (instead of having to buy a proprietary docking station that is different for each model). If I'm travelling, I can enjoy the more robust magsafe connector but I can also use USB-C if needed.
