Brussels effect baby
(Or is it Bruxelles? Brüssel?)
When will they mandate stopping scam calls and stealing databases full of offshored data?
They already are illegal. The problem is the police are corrupt and they’re bought off, and the central government doesn’t really care that much, so they don’t do anything about it.
If you actually report these people sometimes they do get arrested, it just depends on who the chief of police in that area is. There’s a reason they’re all in the same part of India and it’s because the police in that area have been bought off.

It’s Kolkata right? That’s the sense I get from watching anti scammer YouTubers like Jim Browning.
Yeah, there was a BBC documentary with him in it, and they actually demonstrate this. Various scammers are arrested and even sentenced, and then for some totally innocent reason a mistrial gets called, and it all has to go to trial again, and surprise surprise in the intervening time the police have managed to lose all of the evidence.
The only good thing about that whole case was that when they were arrested the scammers faces were broadcast all over national television in both India and the UK. Not that been shown in the UK will do everything, but I’m sure they don’t have a great time in India because the locals hate them. Oh and also when the police are showing off their scammers, for some reason they make them hold hands with the police. It’s really funny how unhappy they look about it.
Doesn’t the use of VoIP often make these hard to trace, as well?
Can’t wait until USB-D is the standard and these dumb areas countries are stuck using outdated devices because someone mandated a technology that will go obsolete faster than the law can be changed.
Your comprehension of this technology is so limited that you actually think that’s how it works.
The letter simply indicates that the physical wiring in the cable is different to a previous iteration of the USB standard. There isn’t a great deal of reason that they would change that now it has a pretty good potential for energy transfer and high data transfer speeds. In 15 years they might be looking at changing it but not any time soon.
Usb and B came out at the same time in the '90s for god’s sake.
At least in the EU USB-C is only the standard by 2nd degree, the actual mandatory connector is whatever connector the industry consortium decides on. For now it just happens to be USB-C
The USB-C standard will probably last as long as USB-A has so far or longer.
And I refuse to buy a device that uses USB A. Imagine if it was a legally mandated requirement.
Wat, that’s a strange hill to be on.
You arent legally required to buy any devices… Just dont and go live in the forest.
USB-A: 28 years and going
With 7 years of active use, USB-C is already 25% of the way there then.
Once you actually start using devices that fully utilize all that USB-C has to offer, there is no going back. Getting lots of Power Delivery, Display, Networking and enough bandwidth for other USB devices all over one cable is just so good. At work i just walk up to any monitor, which will have all the necessary stuff attached, plug in one cable to my laptop and im good to go.
I resorted to splitting everything because I was burning docks, so now I’ve got four plugs taken on my laptop: a small USBC dock for one HDMI and power, one regular HDMI, one USBC to HDMI and one USBA for a four USBA hub…
