The King

Right but MicroUSB was not enshrined into law as a standard like this.

Tbh I’m conflicted because on one hand it’s great to have a common standard, but on the other this might very well impede progress. Also does USBC even provide enough wattage to power a gaming laptop?

I was thinking the same thing, how annoying

Instead they’ll force companies to hand it over for free! Welcome to America, the surveillance state.

Sega Nomad was my favorite, bit I’m not sure you could really classify it as a handheld since it ate through batteries like nobody’s business

This is such a cop-out. “No computers!”, but it’s okay to let someone drive who isn’t paying attention because they’re deep in their phone? I drive a motorcycle and I’ve had people stare me straight in the eye, only to pull out in front of me and nearly kill me.

People are notoriously bad at driving. The computer doesn’t have to be perfect, just better than the soccer moms or distracted dummies.

The slippery slope is what makes this not okay. It’s a completely unnecessary invasion of privacy in the guise of “safety”.

I’d love to see some statistics showing that these things are anything other than an additional tax on the drivers. This is bad for everyone and it desensitizes you and opens the door to further surveillance I’m the future.
