@noiob good luck with the official Android File Transfer Utility

@tom that stopped working at some point so I threw it out of the window

@noiob I think i ended up just pulling my phone's SD card out when I needed to transfer files? i don't remember

@tom adb has push and pull which I think have worked before? I'm not carrying a microSD adapter

@tom and I guess I could do DLNA somehow but I've never tried that

@noiob ...how? like, how did you get your phone to show up in finder via dlna

@tom that's VLC, and there's some sort of built-in media-sharing thing? probably an LG extension, it looks pretty cool! I've been able to select which clients I actually want to serve files to (apparently three other devices in this network are scanning for sources)

@tom yeah it seems like a handy feature… mostly to watch anime on a big screen :D

@noiob @tom Yeah adb push/pull are my goto commands for file sharing with android phones.

@noiob upload them to a cloud storage thing and then download them on your computer

@evie nah they're already on the net I can just stream that
