What doesn't fit here?

The core of the story has to be technology focused.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

As Lemmyman posted above:

There’s always going to be some delay.

USB PD EPR (extended power range, i.e. more than 100 w) was released in 2021. The relevant eu directive here was passed in 2022 for rules to take effect in 2024 and 2026.

I think writing a 1-year-old spec into the law might be jumping the gun.

So when you write:

I swear they are doing this on purpose.

What is the conspiracy you are implying?

Oh okay that makes sense. The conspiracy im implying is that its already a proven thing in the us that politicians will pass a very weak bill that doesnt really change anything so they can use the excuse of RTR protections already existing. Actually a lot of places do this with diversity and environmental laws as well. I just got really annoyed with the battery one cause they exclude so many phones.
