    This goes way further than EU rules.

    EU regulation only mandates this for phones. This also covers non-phone electronics, such as mice, keyboards, flashlights, handheld fans, ebooks etc. As of 2026, it also applies to laptops.

      No, that’s EXACTLY the EU regulation too. Up to and including the 2026 exception for laptops.

      I didn’t look into every little detail. But EU’s regulation certainly is not only for phones.
