The Xiaomi 12 doesn't connect to the PC by using a USB cable ~~~ here is my drama ~~~ after dropping the phone with a USB C cable connected

I dropped my Mi 12 phone with a short USB C cable connected

USB C connector got bit deformed ( it is for a philips power bank, labelled power only , I used for charging, but the phone previously asked me data mode / usb charging mode; but it stopped asking)

so I need test the Mi 12 USB C port working or not; I connected the original Mi cable, only charging, swipe down as outlined on the net, to select charging / data ; its not there

what a pain

so I tapped somewhere many times to enable developer mode , manually selected data from no data

the phone appeared on my computer screen

so I guess everything is ok, apart from the deformation on the USB C connector

-------------------------------- 

here is Mi article copy / paste here

If you're having trouble transferring data from your Xiaomi 12 Pro to your PC using a USB cable, please refer to the following methods: 
1. After connecting a smartphone to a PC, the smartphone prompts options for [No data transfer][File transfer/Android Auto] and [Transfer photos]. Then tap on [File transfer/Android Auto];
2. Check if you are using the original USB cable since some USB cables are not capable of data transfer;
3. If you are using an unoriginal USB cable, ensure that the USB cable is in good condition and capable of data transfer;
4. If possible, check if another phone can transfer data with the same USB cable;  
5. Use a different USB port on your computer. Sometimes, the USB port may not be in good condition;
6. Temporarily disable antivirus or firewall software on your PC and try again;
7. Restart both your PC and smartphone;
8. Try connecting your smartphone to a different computer to see if the issue originated from your PC;
9. Check whether the charging port on the smartphone is clean or in good condition;
10. Turn on Developer mode at first by navigating to [Settings] >> [About phone] >> tap on [MIUI version] multiple times (usually seven times) in quick succession. Then navigate to [Settings] >> [Additional settings] >> [Developer options]. Look for the [Default USB configuration] option and change it to [File transfer].

migrate Unifi controller from one PC to my new Dell ~ the touch-enabled laptop ; from version 7.x.x. to the latest version 8.3.2


I followed instructions per link below

https://www.unihosted.com/blog/how-to-migrate-your-unifi-controller-to-a-new-computer


basically

backup the old Unifi controller, and download the backup


then on the new PC , install the latest Unifi network app, and click on the option to restore from backup

it is that easy

however, the Unifi controller webpage stuck at

 Backup restoration is in progress. Your Network application will reboot during this process.


eventually , I clicked on Refresh on the web browser, then I see the login page

I punched in the original username / password, then I can see the network devices

so this is it for now
