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.

I'm OOTL, what is that?

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.
