What You need to Know about the Shift to Type C charging systems - Ow-tech Solutions

 By now, you must have heard about the upcoming change in charging systems for basic electronic devices. 

According to the EU's ruling, type C chargers are set to become the universal chargers for smartphones, tablets, keyboards, smart watches, computer mice, laptops, and other electronics.  Brands like Lenovo have already adopted this charging system with a common example being the Lenovo L490 laptop which uses a type C charger.


What does this mean for both the retailers and consumers?

1. The effect of type C standardization on the retailer.

Many retailers have huge stocks of the different types of chargers that are set to become obsolete in 2024(the deadline given by the EU)

There are two possible scenarios; having dead stock or stock runout in case production does not meet demand. The change which is set to be gradual could bring little to no effect on the retailers' end. They are likely to halt restocking and slowly shift to the conditions given. 

That could be the case with the producers of the devices that use these chargers.


2. Consumers

Consumers are the group that is likely to feel the effect of the upcoming change, mostly middle and low-class, electronic users.

Even though there are affordable type C compatible devices, most of them are costly. Mobile brands like Xiaomi, Samsung, Nokia, Vivo, and Oppo among others have smartphones with type C charging systems that retail for around $200. This may seem cheap or at least affordable for some but it is a lot of money for those who earn below the minimum wage.

The one advantage that most smartphone and laptop users can capitalize on is the fact that this change is going to be phased out slowly. This gives them enough time to plan how to embrace the change.

The old devices and charging systems will still be available in the market and used until the given deadline. After the deadline, what will stop is the production of the said chargers and subsequent devices. The existing ones will still be in use until it reaches a point where they are completely phased out.

3. The governments

Since this is a law set for countries that belong to the European Union, the heads of states of the member countries are expected to put in place measures to ensure the given laws are implemented. The effect will also be greatly felt by non-EU countries because most production happens within the EU. 

The main reason behind the change was to control the environmental effects of the usage and disposal of chargers. It is not yet clear whether other countries and unions will adopt the same approach to help with the attempt to save the environment.


Further information on the changes shall be shared as it is rolled out.

This is what I do to take good care of my Headphones - Ow-tech Solutions

 Buying a headphone was one of the things I was excited about when I got my first one. Having used earphones for a long time and getting tired of the frequent cable damage, I had to make a change. The headphone was a very cheap one, the P47 wireless headphones, which is one of the most common and cheapest headphones today. I had no money but wanted to get the experience. On getting the headphone, I became a celeb in my neighborhood, all eyes on me. Let's drop the fantasizing. I used the headphone for slightly over a year. By then, the Bluetooth function was no more since the battery had been damaged, one handle was broken and patched up with insulating tape and the speakers had been repaired several times. I had no idea how to take care of the headphones. I literally learned my lesson the hard way.  From my experience, these tips can be helpful if you want to take good care of your headphones and use them for a long time. 1. If wireless, do not overcharge. If one thing is sure...
