I read the website but it doesn’t say. But it does say that the consumer will have to check that the charger is compatible with the device so you might end up frying your device if you connect them to the wrong USB C Charger (things that were prevented because of the different connectors). I don’t say that the directive is wrong but it doesn’t go far enough. It should force all devices manufacturers and chargers manufacturers to use the power delivery protocol so consumers don’t have to worry about power compatibility between chargers and devices.

The power delivery protocol allows for the device and the charger to negotiate a charging power.

Without delivery protocol the charger delivers as much power as it’s can so it might fry the connected device.

Is it only the physical connector or also the Power Delivery protocol? Because if it’s only the connector you might end up plugging 2 things that are not compatible with each other.

Management will say that they if they can offload 30% then we can increase the weight carried by the employee by 40%.

No DRM is the way to go, physical or digital. Some physical DRM can revoke the licence on the disk (like Blu-ray)

They can also revoke the licences on the disks.

It doesn’t need to be physical breach. If it’s stored somewhere it can (and might) be accessed by someone else and reconstructed.

The main issue with biometrics is that you can’t change them. If your fingerprints or retina are compromised you’re fucked.

Yeah “Open source” can be many things and the definition is often misused. I would say it’s FOSS without being FLOSS. As you say “source available”.

Yes, it’s the current thrend in software development, ship the minimal viable product and then react according to the customer complains.
