For me it’s the Batteries Regulations.
It includes things like:
-
Replaceable batteries that is “easy for consumers to remove/replace” in devices like smartphones, tablets and cameras by 2027.
-
Recycling “of critical raw materials such as cobalt, lithium and nickel” in batteries will be prioritised and developed further by 2025.
Let me hear yours. It can be anything, and also regulations from the past which came into effect in 2023.

The EU continued to provide aid to Ukraine despite Orban Games.
USB-C as a general standard, limiting the manufacturers way of making more money and waste by using own connections etc.
It’s totally fair that they won’t put chargers into every box since you just need a couple ones in the future.
For me that’s one of the worst things. Thanks for hampering innovation.
Is 240W charging and 120Gbit/s data transfer not enough innovation for you?
Apples Lightning connector was only 5Gbit/s and usually 0.48Gbit/s
Oh yeah, look at all the innovations in connectors of the past. So much innovation! Wow!
Like usb 2 speeds on lightning for iPhones

Continuing to maintain peace in the EU.
It’s not been done this year in particular but it’s always nice to be able to travel visa free (and without ID checks at the borders) through Europe. Made my trip to Croatia much nicer.
It’s unfortunately not the case right now :(. I was woken up in the night train in Freilassing at 3AM for German Passport Control. Also there are passport checks in Place between Hungary and Austria and Slovakia and Austria and sometimes between Slovakia and Czechia
Populist right wingers ruining everything for everyone.
