It’s a shame email doesn’t exist
This is why I have a Framework laptop with modular ports.
I can change which ports my laptop has, and on which side it has them, at will. No struggle
Huawei isn’t really competitive with their laptops though. To be fair, it’s pretty much impossible to win Apple with laptop.
Moral of the story: get a USB adapter
Imagine being so insecure
Macs are actually pretty secure. Especially with their TPM stuff. It’s the everything else that sucks about them
Emotionally insecure.
But yes. My wife was an Apple girl for a long time. She just bought herself a used Pixel 9Pro XL (identical to mine) to use with Graphene OS, and gave me the green light to wipe her Macbook for Linux.
This is why you get a adapter stick that has C to micro, C to A, C to Thunder, and a card reader.
C to Thunder? aren’t they the same connector? unless you’re talking about lightning
Thunder and lightening, very very frightening.
kachow
I do have a 2-ended USB drive with A and C and it’s glorious.
A double ended dongle, you could say?
Perfect for Pride month
Man, you are the superior one, because you are still using a real Computer
A macbook is a real computer.
If somebody requests that I drop air, I will push a fart. Hope your bougie toy can read that.
I just have USB-C to USB-A adapter, for this kind of problems, and the reverse adapter as well.
I have an email account for this kind of problems
This is how an entire generation escaped having to carry floppy disks to school
You can also just get flash drives that are usb c. Even though I’m not a Mac guy, I thinks it’s been over 10 years since I’ve owned a computer (Inc phone) that doesn’t have usb c
Look at Mr. Two Dongles over here.
It’s good for phones as well
Just get a usbC flash drive. USB C is actually pretty good and you can easily get one that has both a and c.
I just dislike how easy to bend and break it looks.
Don’t buy cheap USB-C stuff?
Its studier then a I find weirdly enough.
Share using a webrtc website
go2rtc ftw
This guy techs
lol what happened to emailing the presentation or sharing it on a cloud drive like Google
I’m honestly kinda shocked we’ve not managed to bridge the airdrop gap.
Quickshare is hit or miss
Wetransfer wasn’t bad but didn’t like corporate networks.
Dropbox and Bitwarden send are OK, but you have to email/sms links.
We should have blue tooth beacons and 900mhz Halow by now.
I’m not sure what I would send to an apple user that couldn’t be done over text, they don’t exactly tend to be tech literate.
Developers, photographers, project managers, they have their niches.
I use LocalSend. It apparently works on Macs too but I’ve never tried that. Windows/Linux seems to work fine though!
I use LocalSend ALL THE TIME between my Linux machines and my iOS devices. It’s faster than AirDrop.
That makes sense. AirDrop rapidly switches the wifi radio between the network the device is connected to and the adhoc network of the sending device. It’s effectively running at half speed with a clever trick.
Airdrops only problem is the proprietary nature of it but it’s a good solution that works very well. In the PC market, they still can’t get Bluetooth right. They never got Miracast right either. Microsoft half-asses everything they try which turns apples cool idea into the only way to do something.

There is a way to share files across and between all platforms (Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android, Linux):
As long as you are in the same network as the recipient you can share everything across this app. There are no limitations in file type or size. I use this app constantly to send files from phone to laptop or PC, and I can highly recommend it. It’s free.
The recipient doesn’t even need the app, as you can provide a qr code that can be scanned by the recipient from your phone to start the download of the shared file(s).
That does look really promising. I was trying other sites like that before, but every time i hit a corporate network, they failed to connect. this one looks more robust
I just send a link to a public folder in my Nextcloud. You can also add huge files to your email with the Nextcloud plugin in Thunderbird. Still have to send a link but best option for me so far.
Not a bad idea. Nextcloud interface was just so damn slow last time I tried it. 7th gen intel running containers, everything else is fine, nextcound was taking 10 seconds to finish loading a page :(
IDK I just rent server space for 5$/m for 1tb and it’s super fast.
Wow, where are you getting $5/m with 1TB that’s fast?
Hetzner storage share. Librecloud is also good.
outstanding price, thank you!
Getting a flash drive with both a and c on it was a great investment
