The European Parliament today voted overwhelmingly in favor of enforcing USB-C as a common charging port across a wide range of consumer electronic devices, including the iPhone and AirPods, by the end of 2024.
By the end of 2024, all mobile phones, tablets and cameras sold in the EU will have to be equipped with a USB Type-C charging port. From spring 2026, the obligation will extend to laptops. The new law, adopted by plenary on Tuesday with 602 votes in favour, 13 against and 8 abstentions, is part of a broader EU effort to reduce e-waste and to empower consumers to make more sustainable choices.
Under the new rules, consumers will no longer need a different charger every time they purchase a new device, as they will be able to use one single charger for a whole range of small and medium-sized portable electronic devices.
Regardless of their manufacturer, all new mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, headphones and headsets, handheld videogame consoles and portable speakers, e-readers, keyboards, mice, portable navigation systems, earbuds and laptops that are rechargeable via a wired cable, operating with a power delivery of up to 100 Watts, will have to be equipped with a USB Type-C port.
All devices that support fast charging will now have the same charging speed, allowing users to charge their devices at the same speed with any compatible charger.
Exemptions will apply for devices that are too small to offer a USB-C port, such as smart watches, health trackers, and some sports equipment, but the legislation is expected to be expanded to other devices over time. Companies will also have to ensure that dedicated labels clearly inform consumers about the charging characteristics of devices they buy.

A TikTok illegal migrant who flaunted welfare cash and called Americans “stupid” has just been DEPORTED! Leonel Moreno, a Venezuelan migrant, gained online fame by bragging about receiving U.S. government benefits while flashing stacks of cash. He openly mocked hardworking Americans, calling them “idiots” while urging other illegal migrants to take advantage of the system.
His arrogance finally caught up to him when authorities deported him back to Venezuela. His outrageous behavior even caused an uproar on a flight, further sealing his fate. Many are celebrating his removal as a major victory for immigration enforcement, especially under Trump’s policies.

Wrong is Wrong only IF Trump's prosecutions of his enemies are political.
@NateTheLawyer, I strongly disagree with your statement:
[Political prosecutions are always wrong.
-They were wrong when Trump was targeted, and they’re wrong now when he turns the tables on his opponents.]
If you manufacture a crime, if you change a law in New York to retroactively attack your political enemies, that is wrong. If however you prosecute individuals for gross crimes it does not matter if they are your political enemies.
Look at Schiff that had access to various SCIFs(Sensitive compartmented information facility) and lied on the House Floor, lied every night on TV, and used those lies to to alter elections, oust a POTUS all the while intimidating, manufacturing and coaching witnesses. All of the other members of congress with those SCIF accesses KNEW Schiff was lying but could not say a darn thing because they would be in violation of oaths and National Security NDAs. The witness tampering may very well be...
These charges are a long time in coming. It would be nice to see a well managed unbiased US DOJ go head on against federal, state and municipal corruption.
NOLA Mayor Cantrell first got my ire in the attitude she exhibited over the first class seating for black mayors nonsense and the infighting she went through with NOLA city administrators regarding her excesses.
