The Q-Tip ‘jams earwax into your ear! you should never use a Q-Tip!’ argument has always struck me as something akin to ‘some people have this problem so NO ONE SHOULD EVER DO THIS!’ ...

I use Q-tips. Have for decades. Just went to the ENT and he lectured and lectured about not using them. Said they cause pressure problems and ear wax build up.

But he saw no abnormal wax in my ears. And my ear pressure tested perfectly. So *shrug* *digs in with q-tip*.

Don’t get too paranoid... Is there any instance of juice jacking happening in the wild? Defcon doesn’t count.

This is FUD as it’s not been seen in the wild and only shown in demonstration. It’s easy to defeat as the article says and click charge only if it asks for data access. If it does ask for data access then then unplug.
