Well, USB-C.

I have a house full of USB rapid chargers and USB cables. I even have a couple of super 12' cables from the fair. Soon all of these will be useless. It seems the government is phasing out USB in favor of USB-C.  This is sad... And ironic if the government is choosing winning tech and forcing companies to build what they want in order to 'save the planet' by cutting down on waste - they just created an entire household of waste. USBs that would have been used for decades to come will soon be thrown into the trash because they will not fit any of our phones.

All that being said, I do like USB-C. It's nice not having to care about the plug's direction. Hopefully the fair will be selling super USB-C cables this year. I wonder how long it will take other tech to make the switch. Until then I'll have twice as many cables, and later half will be thrown away.

Savimg the planet.

From Shotcut to Kdenlive
