minus-squareNoah Jorgensen@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·26 days agoI hear a lot of people saying to clean the port and I agree. I’ve found with usb c it’s often very difficult to find something thin enough, but I’ve found a staple to be surprisingly good at the job

minus-squareBlackmist@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·26 days agoYeah, it’s surprising how much pocket fluff gets in there. If it no longer clicks into place, chances are it needs a good clean.

minus-squarehesdeadjim@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·26 days agoI use a disposable dental floss pick. The toothpick side is very narrow and no concern scratching too hard down in a port since it is plastic.
minus-squareboonhet@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·26 days agoThis is the one thing that sucks about Apple going USB-C. Lightning is easier to clean for me and my pockets are a lint factory apparently.
