On the other hand, it needs to be made clear to the less tech savvy consumers, and that is sometimes far from easy.

My mother-in-law received a rechargeable electric lighter as a gift. The instructions included told her to use the 5 inch long USB C cable to plug the lighter into her computer to charge.

She doesn’t have a computer.

She does have a smart phone that came with a USB C charging cable and power adapter. It took us almost 20 minutes to get her to understand that she could take the cable she uses to charge her phone and use it to charge the lighter. She was incredibly confused by the concept that a phone could share the same charging hardware as an electronic lighter.

Of course. He would only do that for intellectual property violations.

Lost all contacts
Just lost all my contacts in my Android phone. Galaxy S10, Android v12. Tried different contact apps, tried rebooting, tried googling (yes, Internet, I have the apps set to display all contacts). Tried restoring contacts, and it says 0 restored. They're still in Gmail, so I tried exporting them and importing them onto my phone, but the phone won't let me select the file. I'm thinking I'm going to have to do a factory reset. Any other suggestions before I bite three bullet and wipe the device?
