THAT is more important to teach, in my mind, than how to interact with the systems.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AIthisMorning" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AIthisMorning</span></a></p>

<p>The recent work I've been doing has required a lot of sharing files between testing devices (and my Mac). AirDrop should be the ideal tool for this but I've recently found it to be unreliable.</p><p>Instead I've been using LocalSend which is an open-source AirDrop alternative and it's been working fantastically. The only real downside is that you have to open the app on both sides for the share to complete, but it has been 100% reliable so that’s a tradeoff I'll happily make.</p><p><a href="https://localsend.org" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">localsend.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
