  They aren't mutually exclusive. You can get magnetic USB-C adapters. I use one for my Mac. You get the safety of not destroying your laptop by tripping over a cable, while also still being able to use USB-C instead of some proprietary money grubbing horseshit from Apple.
context: US Congress: "Uhh.. we'll need to check with our corporate masters on this one." >
  
  It's posdible that US does not have to do anything due to "Brussels effect". >
  
  This'll be the likely outcome. The EU seems to be capable of forcing the hand in favour of consumers way better than congress ever could. >
  
  Any chance you can force all products to only display values in Metric? >
  
  Ha, I think some Americans would have a fit if that happened. Apparently "4/27 and a bit" is an easy measurement to work with! >
  
  base 12 master race
  you wouldn't understand because you'll never know, but that's ok >
  
  Last night I plugged my MacBook charger into my Samsung phone and it hit me how much I love usb c. >
  
  Man I wish, was always a non apple advocate, when apple finally starts having to use usb c in the EU the company I works for bough apple equipment…. Aaaand they came with thunderbolt so stupid to have to carry around multiple chargers simply for profit of a shitty corporation >
  
  Thunderbolt is a protocol that works through the USB-C port so any standard USB-C charger will work, I'm typing this on a Windows laptop with TB4 ports charging with a basic USB-C charger. Did you mean something different? >
  
  Sorry, yep meant apple’s Lightning instead of thunderbolt >
  
  FWIW it does look like they are finally ditching lightning this year and going all-in on USB-C iPhones/iPads so hopefully that pain wont last much longer! >
  
  Yeah fuck proprietary! As someone that experienced the era of everything having its own cable.. it was hell >
  
  That era kinda still exists for other devices ... Routers laptops and what have you >
  
  Laptops are slowly getting there. Both my laptop's are usb c >
  
  Yeah I know it's the double option(proprietary connector and usb C) that needs phasing out. MacBooks are the culprits, not sure if the surface lines USB C ports can be used for charging, but boggles my mind why they ship 2 >
  
  Fuck no. Magsafe is a billion times better than usb-c for power and not accidentally tripping over a cord and destroying your laptop.
  Now if Apple would just release the patent...
