USB-C Restoration
Today is backup day, but when I plugged in the USB drive that my phone is configured to use for backups, it would not stay seated well enough for the backups to complete. I've noticed for a while that charging cables don't stay well seated, either.
I recall some attempts and some successes removing debris previously with a paperclip, but that it was a bit unwieldy and error prone. Today, I got a flashlight, a sewing needle, and compressed air. This trio was highly effective. Didn't take five minutes to dislodge and remove the foreign particles. Repeated the process on my headphone charging case and both drive like they're fresh off the lot, so to speak.
Perhaps this is widely known to others, but it was a discovery for me, today.
