Now that everything charges with USB-C, can we please start some sort of global power socket harmonisation initiative? If I never see an adapter again, it will be too soon.

240w type-c through the home? 48v DC everywhere?

Malicious code is easily uploaded via USB to USB connections. The adapter is your condom for this.

The best plugs are the Swiss and the Brazilian (which is an EU norm that never got through in the EU)

I am sure I saw a Chinese hotel that developed a socket that could accept most types of plug

Sounds like usa needs to go to the proper power with 230V😂

Was thinking the same thing. Standardize USB-C in power sockets in addition to the local AC voltage/socket. Might even consider having an option for USB-C sockets that are fed directly from solar DC, so instead of DC->AC->DC it's a single DC->DC conversion. Unfortuantely USB-C can't replace all.

Go ahead, make USB-C the standard, but I'm not giving up my storage container of chargers until you pull it from my cold, dead closet!

Are you going to make everyone drive on the left while you're at it?
