Solved but now unsolved problems in computer science:
- copying files off a phone without using a network/cloud/internet

Tech bros be like:
- we built 16k 120fps camera into your phone
- beam forming wireless
- advanced ai multi core gigacore 2TB 3d array ram

The end user:
why does it still take 3 hours to copy vidoes off my phone

@xssfox the only reliable methods to transfer files off Android that I've ever found are:
- run an ssh server on the phone and scp or
- get the developer kit and adb pull over usb

It's kinda... Amazing.

@elladan developer mode can fail for files that are to large
@xssfox 🤦 OK so... SSH. Other than the ssh server all the other apps I found to copy files crashed the app/phone too. Android is amazing.

@elladan @xssfox my "solution" is a USB-C to A adapter and a USB drive

Which requires a USB drive and an USB C to A adapter, both of which I'd have to dig out from the place I put it, from the last time I tried to copy files off of my phone
