Episode How Standardization Saves Tech Supply Chains
In a world of proprietary locks and custom connectors, the push for universal standards like USB-C and open-source hardware is reshaping electronics manufacturing. We look at how standardization reduces e-waste, lowers costs for engineers, and forces giants to compete on performance rather than compatibility. From the chaotic early days of smartphone charging ports to the current wave of modular laptops, we explore why boring consistency is the most disruptive force in tech right now.
