The age of the cable is ending. The European Union passed legislation this week that requires all phones, tablets, and cameras sold in the EU to have ausb-c port. It's a big move that spells doom for Apple's proprietary port; most phones sold around the world charge and connect to accessories using theUSB-C standard but iPhones do not.

The EU legislation was first proposed in September of 2021. The best option for consumers was the fast charging and fast data transfer of the universal serial bus. If every device in the house uses the same charging standard, it will increase convenience and reduce waste. The switch to USB-C has been approved. The parliament voted in favor of the change with over 600 votes in favor.

Apple is one of the largest companies here. It is likely that Apple would not be able to make devices with separate ports for different geographical regions, as it would be too difficult.

This won't be a big deal for Apple. Apple and other companies established their own repair programs in the US after the EU ruled to improve the repairability of devices. It is thought that Apple has already prepared for this action, since it has been testing the idea of having a charging port on the inside of the device.

The requirements for the universal serial bus are expected to be in effect by the end of the year. The requirement will be applied to laptops. Most wireless devices are compatible with the Qi charging system and do not need to adhere to any specific standard.

The world of consumer tech has a lot to offer.

E bikes are under pressure.

State Farm claims that it had to pay $250,000 to a client whose ebike caught on fire, and that it was negligent.

There have been safety issues with the bikes. The rapid growth of the electric micromobility market, coupled with the proliferation of poor quality parts and the fact that frame-mounted batteries are susceptible to damage, has led to an increase in the number of fires.

This isn't the only lawsuit that rad power bikes is facing The cause of the fatal crash was not a battery problem or a manufacturer defect. According to the parents, the child went too fast on her bike due to the marketing of rad power. The cases haven't been decided.

The glow is killed by Amazon.

Do you remember the Amazon glow? Is that not true? That seems to make sense. The video chat device that was made for children is no longer available. Amazon stopped production of the glow this week.

The Glow looked like a clunkier version of Facebook's portal, and could play videos, display Ebooks, and make video calls. The Glow was a block that was unattractive. It was supposed to be a device for families with children, but ended up being a device for no one.
