Way ahead of you. GSK/Haleon looks to be unraveling in their toothpaste division. I’m only a long term contact worker so I’ve always got another job lined up. I’ve got another 9 months on this tour but i don’t see them keeping me, i cost too much.
Wtf did they honestly expect from you in that situation anyway? Do they really think you would come back from vacation to deal with that? From what I can tell, fixing it is barely beyond a T1 hekpdesk amount of knowledge, just an annoying process. Unless there’s more to it, I haven’t looked heard at the details but that’s the gist I’m hearing.
But unless they’re going to triple my vacation length (in terms of paid days off in other words) and maxing out all my upgrade options for the next one I’ma have to say they can get bent.
Basically they gotta pay for the best version possible of that trip (assuming there was a trip) and give me enough time to take 2 more.
Funny story. My boss vetoed work phones as a cost savings and at first there was a squawking fest but honestly he handled all communication to us and protected us from so much bullshit. Now he’s gone and no one could figure out how to get in contact with us aside from email/teams.
Only because IPv6 and self-hosting are not mainstream yet. But if it were commonplace for everyone’s home to have something as simple as a public file server or SSH server, then this problem would be trivialized.
Opera tried to make self-hosting mainstream back in 2009 with Opera Unite, but regular people just weren’t interested. It was a web server built in to the browser, which had a few apps like a whiteboard, a way to write notes, file transfers, etc.
Also, IPv6 is already mainstream in some countries. In the USA, several of the mobile networks are IPv6-only, using 464XLAT to allow connections to legacy IPv4-only servers. Comcast/Xfinity was also the first ISP to roll out IPv6 at a wide scale, and the majority of their customers had IPv6 connectivity way back in 2014 or so.
Globally, around 50% of traffic to Google and 60% of traffic to Facebook are using IPv6.
For sure, let me just make an account, install the app, find and add them- wait, he drove over with a USB? Jokes aside, thanks for the recommendation, but it’s not any simpler than the 2011 solutions if you haven’t set it up already.
I have a USB c multi adapter somewhere. Had SD, micro SD, USB a to put a mouse on a phone or a regular flash drive. It was nifty until I lost it. A lot of modern mobos come with a USB c port so it’s almost a universal tool.
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.
