    I sort-of like USB-C connectors (though they are somewhat fragile), but I am seriously confused when it comes to the ZOO of USB-C cables and their capabilities/lack thereof. Way too much diversity there.

    And I welcome it wholeheartedly. Amount of different, incompatible powerbricks in my bathroom is frustrating. Feels like every manufacturer and even device needs its own.

    any guesses as to what the "unintended consequences" of this will be? the cookie law gave us endless annoying cookie permission pop ups, I wonder what this will cause..
