EU rules on common chargers apply to laptops from today. It means that all new laptops sold in the European Union must now support USB-C charging.

In December 2024, the rules came into force for mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, headphones, videogame consoles, and portable speakers.

Laptop manufacturers were given a longer lead in time to allow for redesign and transition to the common charging system.

“Unelected Ursula” is directly from the Russian disinformation playbook btw.

    Pick a mainstream social media site, find a post/video about the EU. If Ursula Ledoyen is in it, the comments will be full of comments Super Concerned that she wasn’t “properly elected”. Within 15-30 minutes of it being posted.

    Perfectly organic and posted by normal concerned EU citizens. Yep yep.
