        I say we bring back barrel Jacks for all devices. None of this transferring data and power nonsense.

          The problem is that without any data line, you can’t negotiate voltage, which makes a single standard for all devices difficult.

        I’ve seen a few comments on the BBC suggesting that this will stifle innovation because “a better cable could be designed”, but given USB-C supports alt modes, this seems like a daft argument to me.

      I mean, you’re right about the delusion thing, but isn’t this law just attempting to piggyback off of the EU chargers law ?

      Edit: I misread that title. I thought it was something like “UK to consider USB-C charging standard law”. Yeah if they are seriously considering anything other than USB-C they are delusional

        and if this needs to be the same as the USB-C connector the EU adopted.

        The consideration should be quick, “Should we use a different charging standard that the EU ? No”

        If not they are seriously delusional
