Comment on How Nintendo locked down the Switch 2’s USB-C port and broke third-party docking

I mean, the Switch 1 also abused the heck out of the USB-C specification (I can’t find the really good write up anymore unfortunately :( ) Not surprising they would do something similar here. This post suggests it’s not actually that dire
The EU AFAIK only requires that USB-C charging needs to be compliant.
Yeah the requirements are for USB-C power delivery for devices capable of charging @ (if I remember correctly) > 15W.
The requirement was placed in the radio equipment directive of the EU so unlikely they will amend it to add requirements for USB-C cabled data transmission.

Ah, fair point. Still, I’m not too jazzed about Nintendo making their own USB standard. They may as well call it just SB, because there’s nothing universal about this.
