Can you not just plug your phone into your computer, and then use your computer’s file manager to drag it from your phone to your computer? It’s this not a thing anymore?
remember when it was somehow trendy to take a picture with snapchat and the screenshot it to it shows the tools on right and post that on instagram? that shit was stupid as hell
I still do that all the time. I work with a bunch of different computers and it’s easier than sending a file or writing the info down.
I get that there’s device to device file transfers, but it’s slower, and other employees would undoubtedly fill my phone with garbage screenshots, if not virus furry porn.
The adapter shown is functionally identical to a usb 2 to usb c cable. I believe the meme is essentially suggesting the same thing you did with using a file explorer.
Kinda… But who the fuck has a male/female USB or usb-c cable sitting around???
One of the ends of this adapter should be female, or this should just be an A/C cord. The fact that it’s not made me think that this is actually a thumbdrive, not that I can confirm if it actually is or what OP actually meant.
This device is basically just a really short charging/data cable. I don’t understand what’s so confusing about it. It’s functionally identical to using the standard charging cable, just with the devices closer together.
Because in practice you’re gonna need a cable anyways, since it’s a vanishingly small chance that your phone’s port lines up perfectly with your computer’s port when you set it down.
Maybe you can find a book that’s just the right height to put your phone on (RIP if you have a desktop), but just having a cable is still a better option.
This is either a male/male adapter, or a thumb drive… In either case, a-to-c USB cable would be a better solution, and a less confusing image.
I agree that a cable would be wildly more useful than what’s pictured, for what it’s worth.
That said (tangentially related), I have a few male/female usb cables and they’re a godsend. Extremely handy for game controllers and/or extenders for bluetooth or wireless device dongles.
Quite a few of the usual memory device manufacturers make drives that have a Type A USB plug on one end, and either Micro USB or Type C on the other. They’re specifically meant for one end to easily plug into your PC, and the other end to go into your phone. Not, obviously, both at the same time.
Can you not just plug your phone into your computer, and then use your computer’s file manager to drag it from your phone to your computer?
That’s right, you cannot. Well, sometimes you can. MTP is quite an unreliable technology, at least for Linux users. Sometimes you’ll plug in a device and it’ll work fine, other times it won’t even show up.
P.S. and yes I have enabled MTP on the android device
Idk
I just plugged my pixel into my Ubuntu laptop, and tapped on the USB charging notification on my phone, selected “more options” and changed the selection from “no data transfer” to “move files”.
Then my Ubuntu file viewer could see all my files. Or at least a lot of them.
Except that if you connect your phone to a computer using USB, it will transfer files using MTP and it’s pain in the ass, as it’s slow and unreliable. Sending files over Bluetooth is better (but not much) over using USB connection.
As far as I can tell, DaVinci Resolve is not available in a Debian/Ubuntu package. The standard installer, designed for Red Hat, doesn’t seem to interact with the package manager either. This makes me think some kind of wrapper script you downloaded from the internet was the culprit here.
There are some guides online that will make Resolve into a package, but they seem to be pulling all kinds of weird tricks. I would not recommend using those guides without some kind of backup and recovery tool set up for your computer.
It’s hard to tell what exactly got removed, so I don’t know what you need to reinstall. If you use a tool like Timeshift or Snapper, now would be the time to restore a previous system snapshot. If you don’t, you’ll need to do the recovery manually. Either way, this isn’t an easy fix, especially if this was caused by a script like MakeResolveDeb which seems to also modify other system files.
To get a running Kubuntu install back, you basically have two options: either use the command line to sudo apt install every package you notice missing (sudo apt install dolphin konsole…) to reinstall them, or, what I would do in your case, do a clean reinstall to get everything back in working order. First make a copy of your entire home folder (and any other folder you may want to save) to another drive, then do a clean install, and copy the files back to where they’re supposed to be.
If you can’t log in, try logging into the console (ctrl+alt+f3, type username and password when prompted). From there, you can run a command like sudo apt install kubuntu-desktop. That should fetch most Kubuntu files it it installs successfully. If it refuses because of package conflicts, you’ll need to remove the conflicting packages first (i.e. sudo apt remove davinci-resolve if apt complains about kubuntu-desktop conflicting with Resolve).
A reinstall is probably quicker and easier, but you’ll need to make sure to copy over everything (including hidden files!) you may need off the broken system. You can do this from the Kubuntu installer by running the “try kubuntu” option when prompted and simply launching a file manager. Any system modifications you made to your system (additional drivers and programs, configuration) will need to be made again. If you haven’t messed with the system too much, this shouldn’t take long; all you need is to install your old programs, and the config files from your backup should leave you right where you left off.
As for system snapshot tools:
If you’re comfortable with messing around with partition layouts, I highly recommend looking into setting up BTRFS+TimeShift; it could undo the damage in seconds after rebooting.
Unfortunately, Kubuntu doesn’t offer this tool as a simple option in the installer, so there’s a bit of manual work involves to get it to work, and if you don’t know what BTRFS is you may not want to deal with that nerd shit.
I think setting the partition type to btrfs during setup is all you need to do (that, and installing timeshift of course), but I haven’t verified that this still works.
Shrug. It’s just not particularly funny. And there’s pretty obviously a widespread effort to post vegan stuff to non-vegan subs. People have made their choices and trying to hammer them over it doesn’t change anyone’s mind. I’m just blocking the people doing it, personally.
I disagree. None of those other actions serve a purpose. It’s not like we can absorb calories through touch, smell or our eyes. No bosy just licks meat and then throws it away like they would if they just touched, smelled, or saw it. We actually eat the meat when we taste it. That’s why people enjoy the taste, because they associate it with being fed. Not because of some cognitive dissonance as the meme suggests.
There’s a lot of vegan propaganda everywhere, and a lot of it has been paid for by the Davos foundation.
All in prep for reserving meat for the financial elite and shuffling off the rest of us to more ‘sustainable’ food sources like bugs and recycled trash.
Gee I wonder if the wealthy elite have finally realized the long term fallout of their endless greed destroying the planet.
Most will. In wild dog packs, puppy survivability is around 5%. In comparison with their the closest relative, the gray wolf's puppies have a 91 ~ 95% chance of surviving.
You have to order them to do it first. Something as simple as “put the money in the bag or else” on a note handed to a bank teller should do the trick, I’ve seen that work in educational documentaries on the television. The “else” here is putting a lien on their corporate strawman but you don’t want to tip your hand too early by spelling it out.
I love the last part “order could mean directive”, like he is in the DaVinci code. A money order is a thing. They mean that thing. The secret code is that there is no secret code. Pay your bills.
The way that I’d explain some American Sovereign Citizens is that they are low information people who don’t understand the legal process. They see people make statements, use big words and sometimes Latin, and argue what they see as small technicalities. It would be like a muggle watching Harry Potter cast a spell.
So they are trying to cast legal magic like Harry Potter.
