<p>Need to send files to non-Apple devices? 🎉 In this bite-sized Freedom Tech Weekend episode, Marks streams from an airport layover to show how anyone—on iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, or macOS—can swap files instantly without AirDrop.</p> <p>We compare two open-source, cross-platform tools:</p> <p>LocalSend – a polished desktop & mobile app that uses local Wi-Fi to beam files peer-to-peer with no central server</p> <p>Magic Wormhole – a CLI powerhouse that transfers anything from photos to entire folders by exchanging a simple one-time code</p> <p>You’ll learn how AirDrop actually works and where LocalSend or Wormhole shine—especially offline situations with mixed company. Drop a comment if you’ve tried either tool and tell us what privacy-first tech you want next week!</p> <p>📡 Follow Me</p> <p>X/Twitter: @marks_ftw<br /> Nostr: [email protected]</p> <p>Get confidential AI for free: <a href="https://trymaple.ai">https://trymaple.ai</a></p>
