If you have root, try neobackup (fdroid)… But don’t put too much faith in it.

Personally, I detest achievements and wish I could easily turn it all off from steam entirely.

To be fair, he broke and entered a networking closet as well. But I guess that is a separate issue.

Thanks for showing, I didn’t know about that. Proprietary, of course…

You have to pair first. Then you have to troubleshoot because Bluetooth isn’t very good. And then you get slow transfer rates.

With airdrop you literally open it up, find the person, then drop it. No pairing, no bullshit. It just works and you get on with your life.

It’s very, very useful for people to share videos instantly. For instance, someone takes a video at the end of a dance class and then sends it to the teacher for them to post online after. Or two people want to practice something so they record a small thing and send to the other person. It’s seamless and really quick.

Android users end up having to wait for someone to upload to e.g. Dropbox and then share a link.

Well said.

This was the website that pfsense maintainers made as soon as OPNsense was announced. They sniped the name, derided the project and only ended up handing over the domain after they were legally compelled to.

One person affiliated with Netgate in particular can be seen around forums and social media and has serious axes to grind. He’s… not pleasant.

Add to that Netgate’s practices (IIRC secret proprietary blob required to build pfsense, double-check that fact / unremovable installation tracking) and the picture painted is one of petulance and anger.

Second OPNsense. pfSense also is maintained by some pretty shitty individuals.

All the ISPs I’ve used block the relevant ports.
