It’d gotten bad enough that I couldn’t reliably transfer data over usb. Now the cable fits snugly again

I just used a small sewing needle to pry out the lint. I tried using a toothpick at first, but it was too big to reach the bottom.

    Congrats. (Yes, a period, not exclamation mark because this is Dullsters). 😆

    May I recommend some alternatives to transferring data with USB: Syncthing, Resilio Sync, FolderSync.

    First two have similar functionality, while FolderSync simply enables building sync jobs using standard network protocols: SMS, (S)FTP(S), NFS, web drives, etc.

    Since these all use the network, and can be fully automatic (or used somewhat manually), they provide a more consistent and robust file transfer mechanism than MTP which is not the best.
