Good way to send small messages between devices ?
Good way to send small messages between devices ?
Sometime i want to send small messages between devices, such as a url, a note, a id, a token, a piece of code, a picture Especially send between phone and laptop.
Some chatting app have self messages such as telegram saved messages, slack (you), Microsoft team...
However i don't want a bloated chat app that would took few hundred mb on phone, or required to install an app on my pc (linux which make many app broken). I don't want work chat app too, because self messages can be seen and scanned by employer (yes, a security add on chatbot on slack warm me because i send something like password to myself on slack)
Something like Opera Flow would fit perfectly, but i don't want opera browser.

Discord. I have a channel in one of my servers that's just me.
It's a huge failure of computing that this is the most convenient and obvious way to do this.
Or alternatively it's a win of messaging, it's so easy and convenient it can be easily used for the purposes not intended
Yep… but if you are on iOS and Mac, copy and paste works perfectly fine and seamless. But any other combination is not good.
*If you have paid for newer gen and all of your iOS and Mac devices are compatible...
FTFY, it's a heavy caveat that makes 80% of their equipment dead unless you give it a second life with a different operating system. I've got perfectly decent devices that are bricks in their current original OS unless I get real technical with it. One I can double the ram capacity in it because for some reason apple throttled it's size but the hardware is designed for more if you just tweak it.
I wish apple was better about it and the device file transfers was just a staple thing that had since conception. Air transfer is a pain in the ass from past experience and works when it wants to, cloud syncing also works when it wants to even when telling it to update it now. I have a partner who uses apple almost exclusively, it's so close to being something decent but I can never tell what's actually going on with a device and there always seems to be some kind of weird hiccup in any process (like 25% of the time, still noticeable from being seamless though).
(I have frustration from this, I apologize for my rant)
