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 proprietary 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?

Edit: proprietary

    I avoid non-usb-c like the plague.
    It’s also very unusual to still find newer stuff still using micro-usb(3.0).
    Most stuff ships with usb-c by default except for stuff like microcontrollers like ESP32 and similar stuff.
