If you map this to the political compass instead, I’ll give you a virtual high five.

Oh… :(

This is not correct. Bluetooth is a radio frequency communication tool. RF is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and does, in fact, "move’ at the speed of light.

Obviously, more plants are needed to combat the destructive USB industry.

Gotta boost that birth rate somehow

Planet earth is not prepared for rapidly growing climate risks.

Sorry, I am seeing a lot of spam lately and got through the first sentence and assumed it was spam.

Thanks for sharing, I’ll delete my comment.

Anyone here understand the politics behind this? Is it just Hungary being Hungary, or is something more here?

Also I don’t see why the Czechs particularly would be sympathetic to Israel’s cause here compared to the other EU states?

It’s because: 1- their racist shit doesn’t seem to be hurting their polling, and 2- the assumption is the other parties will work with them once election day comes, if they keep their 30%

Antarctica and the north pole will likely see a significant rise in tourists/refugees, no?

I’ve worked in 3 and lived in 1 (for 10+ years) of those countries as service and have always been tipped… Maybe it is just a local thing

Don’t get me wrong, the tipping system (among numerous other aspects) is a joke for customers, But it has massive benefits if you end up in the right job, in the right restaurant.

Absolutely no idea how many end up in the same situation, maybe the minority, but all the servers I met travelling (especially girls) would make many times more than anyone working the same job in Europe for less hours.

Plus, we have tipping in most European cities I’ve visited… Most waiters I know are on minimum wage and only survive via tips. Is it different for you?

let’s avoid America-bashing

HOW SHIT IS TIPPING CULTURE!

🙈

Really, really appreciate it! Thanks 😎

We’re planning a trip soon, any hidden highlights?

Laptops are being gradually added to the list of devices within scope of this change. It only counts for any new device being sold on the market after the changes take effect.

The clause only makes sure that chargers do not limit, when connected to competitors devices. The regulation is coming from an e-waste perspective, which the EU has made it clear that it is not interested in entertaining or letting companies push them around.

As I commented above, the regulation clearly states “any additional charging protocol allows for the full functionality of PD… irrespective of the charging device used.”

So they can’t have both unless they split EU & RoW devices.

This is not correct for devices being sold to the EU at least. Part of the amendment to the Radio Equipment Regulation outlines the exact standards for power delivery that must be used, and that interfaces which are capable of being charged @ > 15W must “ensure that any additional charging protocol allows for the full functionality of the USB Power Delivery…”.

For data transfer, I don’t see the point and future improvements to USB will come from industry in future.

The only way around this is with a wireless charging protocol, but manufacturers are moving away from that it appears.
