One of the environmental regulations we benefit from here in the us, is eu common charger rules! Basically all computer like devices now use usb-c. Thanks.

But it would be even better to be common to essentially every portable device. I’ve seen flashlights that charge over usb-c.

While I was travelling this past weekend, my toothbrush battery died and I didn’t have the proprietary charging base. I sure wish that took usb-c also. Looking online I see a couple but most electronic toothbrushes still use proper chargers

Which brings up: what are you guys seeing, where common charger rules are actually required? Looking across non-computer devices that are not required to be usb-c, are they?

    Here’s hoping you guys will eventually manage to work it all out, even if that will likely have to await a more, um… rational policy regime.

        I think we were having a shared nervous breakdown over the current state of geopolitics, but the hyperventilation made my lose consciousness so I can’t be sure.
