      I’m guessing people are sharing this intending it to generate a laugh or a scoff and not… you know, an incontrollable welling up of nostalgia and longing where you can smell every part of the picture and you know in your soul you’re never going home again?

      Or maybe a light chuckle or something.

        Saudade - A word in Portuguese and Galician denoting an emotional state of melancholic or profoundly nostalgic longing for a beloved yet absent someone or something. It derives from the Latin word for solitude. It is often associated with a repressed understanding that one might never encounter the object of longing ever again. It is a recollection of feelings, experiences, places, or events, often elusive, that cause a sense of separation from the exciting, pleasant, or joyous sensations they once caused. Duarte Nunes Leão defines saudade as, “Memory of something with a desire for it”.

          know what’s crazy?

          the file he’s transferring is the picture you’re currently looking at.

          some say it’s still transferring at 300 baud today.

      Use the serial port, both have them, and this would probably work with 600 to even 1200 bits per second.

          On my Linux installation, I just plug it in, “trust” the PC, and I can open it in my file explorer as I would any other USB storage device. Do you need a 3rd party app to do that on Windows?

              I think it’s thanks to libimobiledevice and ifuse, which are installed by default on Mint (but probably not Arch).

          Great point. It’s infuriating that the only inbuilt non-Apple remote file access method in iOS is SMB3, for example.
