News and information from Europe ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ

(Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.)

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in [email protected]. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
  8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)

(This list may get expanded when necessary.)

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @[email protected], @[email protected], or @[email protected].

Local Send and Quick Share is the answer

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yay for local send! Anyone knows if there's a way to use it while I have VPN on on one the devices ? I usually have to turn it off while sending things..

use split tunneling to exempt the app from using VPN connection.

It's a part of Android and comes pre-installed if you are on a phone running the latest Android Version

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_Share

I am not sure if it is a part of AOSP so custom Roms, or phone brands without Google apps support like Huawei, may not include it

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

the ending of the very first paragraph that you've linked answers that.

The Implementation Sucks

Android Beam was so much nicer to use

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nope they only work on the same wifi. They dont use bluetooth to find a device and then send files directly to eachother over wifi. They connect over a wifi router

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Quickshare absolutely does find other devices over Bluetooth and then send the files over a direct wifi connection between the 2 phones. I've used it that way tons of times

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

Android and windows only though

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You know you can just connect straight via bluetooth to the other phone

I too enjoy file transfer speeds measured in kilobytes per hour
