>had a family gathering this easter >cousin of mine is a fanatic audibook listener >he usually downloads the audiobooks he finds on youtube (lol) with yt-dlp on his laptop because other sites don't allow 3+ hour videos to download (kind of surprised he managed to figure that out on his own)>usually he likes to transfer them to his phone afterwards so he can listen to them at any time through discord>he finds a new series he really wants to listen to>the file is like 6 gb (far larger than discord allows)>see his autistic ass getting upset because he can't figure out a way to transfer it from his laptop to his phone>walk up to him seeing that he is fiddeling with all kinds of transfer websites which all refuse or take like an hour or two to upload & download>see him at one point considering buying a premium subscription from a website to speed things along>hold in my laugh>ask him why he's not just using a usb-c cable to connect to his phone and laptop to transfer it>he tells me with a straight face "cables are just for charging">show him how to do it>entire thing takes less than 3 minutes>he is dumbfoundedI think this generation might genuinely be cooked.
>>108551991a bit dishonest since phones go out of their way to hide stuff like this from you so you wont ever discover it unless you know apriori it is there
>>108551991at least gen z/alpha can figure out how to talk to siri and alexa and their cars. boomers can't seem to grasp the wake word + query combo and just kind of talk to the machine and expect it to work
>>108551991>>108552011probably not so much hiding but, me personally, i only just owned my first phone with a usb-c port recently and how the fuck was i supposed to know that some cables are only designed for charging and not data transfer.would be different though if the kid literally never thought to jack in before, now that'd be silly
>>108551991What a horrible family member. If he likes to listen to them on discord but they're too big then you should have taught him how to use ffmpeg to compress them to a manageable size.
>>108552023>just kind of talk to the machine and expect it to workDoesn't it?I friend of mine told me he was talking to his wife about visiting her parents on the weekend and out of nowhere his assistant asked them where her parents live.I don't use an always on microphone what uploads everything I say to China so I wouldn't know.
>>108552045I meant he usually uploads the files to discord and then downloads them through discord so that they end up on his phone
>>108552045If it's just audio it shouldn't be that big to begin with.So I'm guessing it's video but with the intent to only listen to the audio?In that case he should extract only the audio with yt-dlp.
>>108552075oh I thought he was using discord for free file storage. instead he's just retarded. carry on.
>>108552075i'm a millennial and i admit i've done this before, sometimes it's just too convenient
>>108551991I confess I was somewhat surprised you can use a USB mouse on an Android phone.
>>108552060Lots of boomers I know who wouldn't go out of their way to enable the always on mic, (but do use those assistants sometimes, so they might have enabled it without noticing) are angry or amused when it constantly interrupts them to try to budge into the conversation like in your anecdote.
>>108552131If you ever use a voice assistant the microphone is always on.How else would it pick up the trigger word?It's just quietly uploading everything to China where they scan it for the trigger word.It only talks back after the trigger word but everything you ever say gets stored.There was even a scandal when they discovered employees in India were listening in on private conversations "to improve the system".
>>108552011>Phones go out of their way to hide that you can transfer stuff by cableNah, his cousin is just legit retarded
>>108552181Yes, I meant always on in the sense that it replies without the trigger word. Dunno if they claim it heard that or not. Also, I'm pretty sure you could detect one word said by one specific voice locally without having to send it to them, but yeah, they wouldn't do it that way.
>>108552045>just crunch the audio so it sounds worse than AM radio bro
>>108551991If he can use yt-dlp he's in the 99th percentile of IQ among gen alpha
>>108551991He uses discord as an audio player? Wtf man.
>>108551991>>108552023pure anecdotal evidence, this place really is just another reddit now, pure idiots incapable of comprehending that the world isn't the two people they know
>>108552043Almost all phones ever manufactured, including the old non-smart ones, could transfer data over USB. Even those that had no USB port.>>108552011You're just retarded.
>>108555041well then idk what i'm doin wrong some cables don't read my phone when plugged in but others do
>>108551991Using yt-dlp is an order of magnitude more tech literate than most people I know. Young or old
>>108552719>>108552104>yt-dlp will take the best(opus) file and reencode it to FLAC. Yes, your 5MB webm file will be inflated to 48MB to adhere to the FLAC codec standards.>mfw
>>108555313Some cables skip the data pins. How the hell are you not aware of this at this point? We really are fucked. Humanity is getting more retarded as shit gets easier.
>>108555313You're misusing cables.The shitty cable you got for free with that $1 cabinet light is not suitable for charging a bigger device or for transferring data. What a surprise.You must think that waiting 4 hours for a phone to charge is just how things are.
>>108554284>now
>>108555420>retard doesn't know he can just download the webm and extract the opus
>>108555041phones hide away even their file systemif you deny this you are delusional
>>108554284you can find dozens of funny videos on the youtube of boomers trying to talk to alexa, nothing about it was my personal anecdote, I don't know any boomers. if anything your comment is the most reddit-esque one here.
How do you expect kids to know this stuff if you don't teach them? Corpos certainly won't, all corpos teach is product obedience. It's like screaming that kids can't eat with a knife and fork even though you never bothered to let them know how. You're the one nurturing the next generation so complaining about them not knowing things is literally your problem.
>>108552075I do the reverse through telegram
>>108555795There is no filesystem over MTP, dumbass. What the phone does internally is irrelevant.Yes, phones are dumbed down, but this is done precisely because users like you are completely incapable of basic reasoning>phone has USB port>when you plug it into a computer it asks you to choose if you want to transfer files or not>"gee, it totally couldn't be used for data transfer, nuh-uh"
>>108555989>How do you expect kids to know this stuff if you don't teach them? Curiosity.Children whose brains aren't fried manifest curiosity naturally.
>>108555989>tries to share information with the young>"hurr durr unc hurr" >"me likes being dumb durr">"muh tik tok slop">"hurr muh iphene think for me hurr"They're too in love with their own ignorance.
>>108556209unc talk fr fr on skibidi sigma
>>108556195>>when you plug it into a computer it asks you to choose if you want to transfer files or notif you have autorun and automount enabled maybewhich ok I guess a so-called average joe computer might but it is a bold assumptions
>>108556233Are you completely brain dead? The phone asks you, retard.Jesus fuck, how many contrived theories can one come up with...
>>108551991Good.
>>108551991Eeehh they were all planned war soldiers. The moment they let high ordinals correct the curriculum we go back to hyper intelligence training
>>108556392if you have the phone powered on, maybe.
Getting rid of the nigger corpos is gonna be a big problem.Those fucking retards are just going to keep calling for more immigration perpetually.
Always the corpo niggers silently calling for the fucking immigration. They need a perpetual anti-immigration audit which deports the CEO if they detect foreigners.
>>108556417
>>108551991It is Apple's fault. They used to literally not have a user-accessible filesystem (probably did with dev/debug tools but still)
