A handful of common standards is useless.
One standard for chargers is the only acceptable outcome and it wouldn't have gotten there without regulation.
What need is there to experiment with chargers? Wire go in, power go through - it's really not that complicated, the only important thing is standardization.

- saubeidl 1y ago> But we might still be stuck with floppy drives with a mindset like that. That seems like a false equivalency to me. It seems quite obvious that storage media have more potential for development than charging wires. Wire go in - power go through, is literally all they need to do and USB-C does that pretty well.
- 3836293648 1y agoNo, it's cable go in, power go through, *cable doesn't fall out* and usb-c does that terribly after a few months. I'm extremely pro standardisation, but the next revision needs to do a lot better.
