My 3rd cellphone in a row, the USB port is clogged again and I can barely plug anything in it. My laptop charger is the only thing that holds (barely).

All mechanical cleaning is useless (I've tried compressed air, interdental brushes of all kinds, small needles, etc.).

The first phone had a micro USB, and I replaced the clogged plug with a new one (until it happened again) which did not cost much but took days.

I assumed this would not happen with #USBC, but it still does. What do I do?

Now introducing: #PDBrick!

1.7 kW worth of raw USB-C PD power.

24x USB-C ports.
4x 100W, 20x 65W.
(4x USB A, but we don't talk about those :P)

I never did a post of the project that @techbeard and I did last-minute before #CCCamp23, so here you go.
