Позавчера Еврокомиссия приняла закон, который обязывает все компании без исключения использовать USB Type-C, как основной стандарт для зарядного устройства. С осени 2024 года гаджеты в Европе должны уже полностью перейти на новую схему.
Есть косвенный побочный эффект: выпуск устаревших устройств с Micro USB в Европе будет невозможен. Я вот до сих пор (редко, но бывает) наталкиваюсь на новые устройства, которые можно купить в магазине прямо сейчас, и у которых почему-то Micro USB вместо Type-C. Видимо, какие-то очень древние складские залежи.
Но куда важнее воздействие на компанию Apple. Годами в айфонах упорно отказывались делать единый стандарт зарядки. Годами люди вынуждены были заряжать не-Apple устройства одним способом, а Apple другим. Более того: даже на новых iPad уже Type-C, но на iPhone до сих пор Lightning. Чем только это не оправдывалось: скоростью, безопасностью, экосистемой. Но на самом деле оправданий нет.
Цитата из одного старого поста @amima:
«Пол Грэм, инвестор и основатель самого авторитетного стартап-акселератора YCombinator, как-то писал: «Uber is so obviously a good thing that you can measure how corrupt cities are by how hard they try to suppress it». Есть явления, общественная польза которых настолько очевидна и проверена временем, что они сами по себе являются мерилом нормы.»
Одинаковый стандарт зарядки и порта передачи данных — одна из таких вещей. Начиная от уменьшения количества проводов в каждом доме, и заканчивая возможностью стрельнуть провод вообще у любого человека, у которого он есть с собой. Со стороны Apple было очень по-мудачески годами выдумывать оправдания вместо перехода на Type-C. Ну, теперь, если они хотят продолжать торговать в Европе, у них не останется выхода. Ждём на очередной конференции объявление об этом, как о революционном собственном решении.

photorealistic tall-format scene in Ralph Lauren rustic-luxury style. A woman with long, beautifully coiffed black hair stands by a large-paned window inside a refined, moody room. She wears a flowing satin gown and robe, gazing at a violent storm outside. The storm is fierce and foreboding, with trees bending in the wind, swirling leaves, heavy rain slashing against the window, and distant lightning illuminating a stormy night sky. The room is warm and opulent, lit by soft candlelight and a glowing fireplace. Equestrian and vintage Americana decor--dark wood, leather armchairs, and brass accents. Color palette: deep navy, burgundy, forest green, warm amber. Mood: cinematic, gothic, powerful, a sanctuary against the untamed storm --ar 3:4 --style raw --v 6.1

A cosmic void with a glowing green portal slowly opening. The portal’s edges shimmer with crackling energy, and ghostly, tentacle-like forms begin to emerge. The scene is filled with swirling, otherworldly clouds in shades of green and purple, creating a hypnotic vortex effect. In the foreground, a solitary cultist stands on a jagged rock outcrop, arms raised toward the portal in supplication. The camera captures the moment from a low angle, emphasizing the grandeur of the portal and the cultist’s insignificance in comparison. The lighting is surreal, with the portal casting eerie shadows across the landscape. --ar 16:9 --v 6.1

A close-up portrait of a mystical figure with a dual persona. One side of their face is adorned with intricate golden armor, detailed with elegant patterns and flourishes. The other side is engulfed in dark, organic shadows that resemble living flames or smoky tendrils, blending seamlessly into their skin. Their eyes are strikingly different: one a piercing, icy blue and the other a fiery, intense amber. The figure’s gloved hands, dark and clawed, frame their face as they look forward with a mix of allure and mystery. Soft, wavy hair cascades around them, highlighted by warm lighting that contrasts beautifully with the darkness. The mood is surreal and fantasy-inspired, blending beauty and darkness with high detail and dramatic lighting --ar 9:16 --v 6.1
