    Yeah, the law was made for micro-USB and USB-C is a mess…

    To make it worse, some companies decided the top voltage would be 18V, while others use 21V or anything in between… So it’s not clear if the power brick you brought, that satisfies all the numbers from the device will actually be useful to charge the device.

        Love Apple or hate them they really did try to make it the universal standard way back in 2016.

        They released their entire lineup of laptops as USB-C only and were mocked endlessly for it.

        If only the IT world had jumped on board at that point we might not have the mess we have today.
