This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 10 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

This is why you get a adapter stick that has C to micro, C to A, C to Thunder, and a card reader.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

I do have a 2-ended USB drive with A and C and it's glorious.

[–] hirihit640@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

C to Thunder? aren't they the same connector? unless you're talking about lightning

Macs are actually pretty secure. Especially with their TPM stuff. It's the everything else that sucks about them

Man, you are the superior one, because you are still using 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.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 8 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I have an email account for this kind of problems

This is how an entire generation escaped having to carry floppy disks to school

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Look at Mr. Two Dongles over here.

lol what happened to emailing the presentation or sharing it on a cloud drive like Google

[–] Aeri@lemmy.world 15 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Just get a usbC flash drive. USB C is actually pretty good and you can easily get one that has both a and c.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

I just dislike how easy to bend and break it looks.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 hours ago

Don't buy cheap USB-C stuff?

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 hours ago

Its studier then a I find weirdly enough.

Americucks and their Apple.

[–] Starduster75@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Tell me about it, I worked there once. What a cult! They are essentially the Nike of computers.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Android and Microsoft are in majority use globally, but truth be told they're all faceless tech companies run by billionaires who want to feed their never ending greed.

[–] Ostrichgrif@lemmy.world 20 points 16 hours ago

Can't be an American story because Huawei is banned in the USA 🥹

If I'm in a situation where it's Apple or failure, I will gladly fail.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 8 points 15 hours ago (4 children)

They have a lot of nerve using a USB standard that's only 12 years old

I'm proud to be incompatible with Apple

[–] placebo@lemmy.zip 4 points 12 hours ago

It's rather Apple who is incompatible with the rest of the world. Any other bluetooth device can transfer files with other bluetooth devices.

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.

[–] nicerdicer@feddit.org 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

There is a way to share files across and between all platforms (Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android, Linux):

Local Send

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).
