A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I would love this to have a global impact, but I have a bad feeling phone manufacturers are going to create a special EU model to comply with this.

The other thing that seems to fail is USB-C connector. I wonder if the USB-C connectors in most phones last beyond 5 years. Mine still works but I cannot plug the device in and use it without it just falling out pretty quickly. The old micro USB plugs seem a little more robust.

mm maybe. connectors should definitely have a tiny magnet, but its still rare...

Wireless charging solves most of that.
