WHAT IF when I plugged the fucking thing in to the other thing it just worked like EVERY COMPUTER EVER? why are smartphones so hard to use? this has taken like 20 minutes at this point. how hard is it to just send a file

like actually how is it this fucking hard to just send a file

this is like the most basic operation possible between two computers

>connect exfat formatted usb stick with the .tar.gz to phone
>open the files
>click the tar.gz
>it opens the ebooks app?
>phone sends a notification asking to be restarted

how the hell do you extract a .tar.gz on a smartphone

@0x6e6174 install termux and do it the normal way?

@0x6e6174 just send it over bluetooth it'll be done sometime this year

@aleteoryx you can do that??

@0x6e6174 y'know, I usually just use something like fluxer/discord, tempfile website, or google drive.

@webbop

1. the file is 338 megabytes
2. 0x0.st is not taking uploads
3. the phone is right here I do not want to send the file to a server like 500 miles away and then back
4. the last time I used google drive was in 2020 and it was for storing archives of my gpt-2 model retrained on ben shapiro smut across like 8 different google accounts
