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.

They did 2 things well (from an economic perspective) in my vaguely shit memory:

• built of the success of castaway a few years earlier and survivor
• marketed the absolute hell out of it pre-release. I remember hundreds of ads showing in the months leading to to it.

It paved the way for a lot of long running, high budget tv shows like heroes, supernatural etc…

I also severely disliked it.

I’m sorry. Why are we talking about biodiversity loss with solar? Who is cutting down forests or clearing land to put in panels?

I only see them on rooftops, car parks, farmland (where they have the benefit of adding shade.) etc.

I’m all for more deployment, but no need to shit on non-“floatovoltaics” - rad name btw
