minus-squareNoah Jorgensen@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 months 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-squareAlpacaChariot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 months agoThe sharp end of a safety pin did it for me
minus-squarehesdeadjim@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months 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-squareBlackmist@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 months 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-squareSynapse@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoDry air can does the job pretty well too.

minus-squareboonhet@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months 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.
minus-squarenaught101@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoI have never been an apple user, but that lightning port always seemed like a good design. Seems way more durable than usb-c
