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'.

You'd not do well with our climate over here. We get to see the sun about half of the year. During the winter it's cloudy most of the time and the sun will come out for a few hours here and there, but there are times where it's cloudy for 10 days before that happens.

Yeah, was born and raised in the Netherlands. Lived there till I was 29 or 30. Even then I hated the grey and cold days, esp in winter.
The real cold days were filled with sunshine. They were great, esp if we could go ice skating
