Can we just take a moment to consider that #Apple, who for some reason are considered a collection of the “smartest guys in the room” didn’t take into account that you might have two different devices (six years apart) unlocked at the same time, and provided no way to distinguish between them when you want to #AirDrop files, because it doesn't display the device name.

Is there a recommended #AirDrop equivalent for #Windows PCs? I'm sick of having to mess about with opaque network file share settings and permissions and folder settings and UAC prompts and rebooting because account credentials were cached and unspecified error 80004005 every time I just want to move a couple of files from one to another once in a blue moon. Copying files to and from a USB flash drive shouldn't be the quicker option for two networked computers owned by me in the same house.

Dismissing the #airdrop #humanitarian #aid as ineffective while attacking the only nations providing aid to #gaza is exactly how the #sympathy #terrorists say #thankyou.

I found a free and open source alternative to AirDrop called LocalSend! It works with Windows, macOS, Android, and even Linux! Join me as I test it on every platform and see if I can transfer a file to every platform using this app!

Excellent blog post by cryptographer Matthew Green, explaining the long-known issues with Apple’s AirDrop, how China can exploit them, the proper solution, and the unfortunate political reasons that might hinder Apple from implementing the proper solution.

I guess someone didn't get the memo.

Daily :

A) China has broken

or

B) Chinese officials are exploiting the unfixed in the Apple AirDrop reported by researches in 2021 (disclosed to Apple in 2019) (*)

Yet again, the propaganda that #Apple care about protecting #iPhone users' #privacy turns out to be hogwash.

#AirDrop cracked by Chinese using flaw that Apple has known about since 2019. #infosec #security

Słuchajcie, mam problem z #MacBook Pro M2 Pro 16GB/1TB. Nie działa mi #AirDrop, tzn. mój #Mac jest widoczny dla innych urządzeń, ale on ich nie widzi. Dodatkowo gdy wysyłam coś na niego z iPhone’a albo innego MacBooka, ten się zachowuje jakby nigdy nic, żadnego powiadomienia, żadnego pliku, po prostu brak reakcji.
Od razu mówię zanim ktoś mi napisze, żebym sprawdził zaporę sieciową, zrestartował go itp. - zrobiłem już wszystko co widać na pierwszych dwóch stronach wyników w Google i nie pomogło.
Ciężko jest mi też powiedzieć czy to jest efekt aktualizacji czy nie, bo mam ten komputer od miesiąca i nie korzystałem na nim wcześniej z AirDropa. Zrobiłem też na nim diagnostykę z poziomu menu opcji (pod ⌘D) i pokazuje, że wszystko działa prawidłowo.
Miał ktoś podobny przypadek? Wiecie jak to rozwiązać?

I've been using an #iPhone on and off for several years now, but one feature I've never used is #airDrop. I'm wondering, what are others general use cases. Am I missing a large scale feature or does it just not align with my workflow. #iOS #apple #macOS #askFedi

I know it would require a huge amount of collaboration between companies, but I can't believe we still don't have an Android equivalent of #AirDrop 😡

People really keep #airdrop activated on their phones??

A threatening message was #airdropped to passengers onboard a #Southwest #flight headed to #Maui from #LasVegas yesterday morning.

The flight was over 500 miles into it's flight over the Pacific when it happened and it turned around and landed at #Oakland, evacuated. Passengers were only allowed to bring their cellphone, their ID and their ticket.
