One of the environmental regulations we benefit from here in the us, is eu common charger rules! Basically all computer like devices now use usb-c. Thanks.

But it would be even better to be common to essentially every portable device. I’ve seen flashlights that charge over usb-c.

While I was travelling this past weekend, my toothbrush battery died and I didn’t have the proprietary charging base. I sure wish that took usb-c also. Looking online I see a couple but most electronic toothbrushes still use proper chargers

Which brings up: what are you guys seeing, where common charger rules are actually required? Looking across non-computer devices that are not required to be usb-c, are they?

    I’m already looking for USB-powered devices for stuff like electric razors and flashlights. Check out Wurkkos for example.

    With toothbrushes the problem is seemingly the duopoly. If there is a good USB-chargeable alternative to Oral-B, please let me know.
