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.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ Two Majors #Summary for the Morning of 10 March 2025; 06:39 (GMT+3)⚡️
🔹 In #Kursk Region, in two full days of large-scale Russian Army offensive operations, significant gains have been achieved.🗺🎬👆Liberated settlements include #MalayaLoknya, #Loknya, #Nikolsky, #Lebedevka, #Kositsa, #Pravda, #Martynovka, #Kubatkin, #Viktorovka, #StarayaSorochina, and #CherkasskoyePorechnoye. This morning, reports confirmed the capture of #Makhnovka near #Sudzha, where retreating enemy forces are regrouping. Fighting is ongoing on the outskirts of #Sudzha. Several settlements were seized thanks to a 'pipeline manoeuvre - Russian assault units advanced over 15 km in a narrow space, emerging behind enemy lines and engaging in battle, causing panic. Until reinforcements arrived, assault groups fought encircled, awaiting a breakthrough. #Novenkoye in the #Sumy region has also been captured, roads are under fire control, and bridges have been destroyed to prevent enemy retreat. The objective is not to push AFU forces back but to annihilate them. This decisive push, combined with prolonged preparation and intense combat, has yielded significant results, marking the beginning of an operation that will go down in history.
🛡 Several UAVs were destroyed or suppressed in two districts of the Voronezh region overnight. Explosions were reported in #Novokuybyshevsk, #Samara region. Russian forces targeted a gas distribution station near #Lucerna (north of #Zaporozhye) with Geran drones. Additional explosions were reported in the #Kiev and #Dnepropetrovsk regions.
🔹 North and South of #Kupyansk, on the western bank of the Oskol River, AFU is urgently reinforcing positions westward in response to Russian foothold expansion.
🔹 In #Toretsk, the enemy continues sending personnel and equipment through gaps in Russian defences, only to end up surrounded and facing superior Russian forces.
🔹 Near #Pokrovsk, Russian troops are engaged in combat with counterattacking AFU units near #Peschanoye and #Shevchenko, with villages frequently changing hands.
🔹 West of #Kurakhovo, #Konstantinopol has been captured, confirmed by multiple videos showing Russian troops raising flags in different parts of the settlement.
🔹 On the #Zaporozhye Front, Russian forces continue fierce battles for #Pyatikhatki and advance towards #Shcherbaki. Air support is assisting infantry by striking enemy positions. Reports also indicate progress towards #Danilovka, north of #Rabotino.
💥 In #Belgorod Region, Ukrainian forces continue attacks on civilians. In the #Balka hamlet, two UAVs destroyed a private house by fire. In #Zhelobok, a drone struck a parked civilian vehicle. In the Valuysky district, a drone strike set a car ablaze in the settlement of #Dalny. In the village of #Borki, an FPV drone detonated within a private residence. In Grayvoron district, a drone targeted a commercial facility in #Golovchino. In #Shebekino, a man was injured by a detonated 'Kolokolchik' mine nearby.
