OK, been wanting to ask .
Is Oz your dog as well?

No. The neighbor owns him but she let's him out in the morning and in at night with 1 bowl of food in the house. I'm semi retired and here most all the time so he goes where Pippi and I go. I've trained him since it'd be a waste not to!

my plan for (the rest of) today and the next many days is to keep as much hair as possible.

my iPhone 8 died. trusty old thing, push the (Home) button - instant control . . .
replaced with an iPhone 15. brings new meaning to the frustration of swiping something . . .
all different connectors.
the Surface GO tablet is USB-C, so I do have a bunch of 'adapters' / etc.
today's epiphany . . . they don't (all) work with the the iPhone 15.
after hours of hair ripping/removal , , , this I discovered . . .
now I need to test all my USB-C cables to be sure the charge and communicate with all my USB-C Eurocentric/mandated devices....
fwiw,,, I can add - all the Anker brand stuff I've tried works flawlessly. others, not so much.

I could plug my old phone into the USB-A port > Lightning and it showed up like an external hard drive.
I use a (paid) utility: Copy Trans. I can up/down load photos, create albums on the iPhone.
same for (informational) text/pdf files.
note: do not name your folder "Misc" - apparently "Misc" is a reserved Apple folder name . . .

iPhone are ~sorta friendly about moving stuff from the phone to a PC - but not at all friendly about moving stuff from a PC to the iPhone.
Copy Trans has capabilities way past iTunes/etc.

Anker makes quality products. That's the only brand I purchase for phone and computer connectivity. Apple anything though is 'another story'.
