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.
Skyrim really is a magical experience like that. I wish I was old enough to experience it on launch in the early 2010s just so I could experience that with the rest of the community for the first time
I didn’t get it right away, since I try not to buy anything in the first month it’s out so I get a good feel of the game. Also, you know… poor. But mostly the first thing.
But holy shit the videos of dragon fights… I had to fight an impulse buy.
Since then I’ve spent over $100 on various copies for various consoles and my computer, all on sale. It may not seem like much, but when 95% of my library was purchased during sales and events… That’s a lot.
It’s not perfect, but there are so many mods for it, you can tailor it to whatever you want. Personally, I like a bit of survival mechanics like food/water and temperatures/wetness. I also like the older oblivion style of magic combat.
Bethesda may not have made the greatest video game of all time, but at this point it might as well be the best fantasy RPG-lite sandbox I’ve played. The only thing that could make it better is a settlement system like fallout. I like to build.
Survival is what I went for on this Modpack too. I have survival Mode enabled, along with a whole bunch of clothes and stuff for warmth. I’ve been trying to to get the Campfire and Frostfall mods to work but they won’t load in game for some reason so I may just have to give up
I would kill for a settlement system like Fallout 4’s or a C.A.M.P System like Fallout 76. Even just a revamp of Heart fire using the new system might be enough to get me to buy a 4th rerelease of Skyrim
Well, i haven’t neen much of a gamer for years (got too adicted to WoW), but just started again this year. I am amazed by Skyrim, and am now modding it up.
I also just got Cyberpunk 2077, and will get into it soon.
Not sure what the issue is with it really, is it just that it’s different? Maybe I’m in a niche group that reads comments while watching the video but it seems to me like a good improvement, and you can still go full screen if that’s an issue. Idk tho I don’t have access to this layout yet, just my impression based on the screenshots I’ve seen
