Real ways in which I use #KDEConnect day to day:

* My scanner in in the main room and my computer in the office (new furniture should fix that, but it's low prio; in the meantime...). I use my phone to click the scan button on my computer while standing by the scanner, flipping and feeding pages.
* My kids use it to drive the tv (my home/media server with a screen) to see the next episode of whatever they're watching (only while I cook; #parenting). No need to buy a BT keyboard+mouse!

This is BIG if this actually gets through/implemented, even if it'll be limited in the EU (cos then other big markets can pressure #Apple to implement the same).

It's always been mind boggling how Apple get to ensure an artificial "monopoly" by limiting the #iPhone to only "work best" with their own digital services (i.e. #AirDrop) and hardware (i.e. #AirPods, #AppleWatch) by (malicious) design.

I imagine this change is also exactly what third-party services (alternatives) like #KDEConnect would need to have feature parity on #iOS with their same app on #Android.

Nine specific iOS connectivity features were highlighted by the commission as needing to be made accessible to device manufacturers and app developers

Apple will need to allow an iPhone user to use an alternative to AirDrop when sending a picture to an Android user, and vice versa

Among the other features that must be made available include iOS notifications, background executions, automatic audio switching and automatic WiFi connections as well as high-bandwidth peer-to-peer WiFi connections

Es gibt noch echte Magie:
Wenn man Handy und Rechner per KDE Connect verbindet, wird nicht nur die Musik pausiert, wenn das Handy klingelt. Man kann auch die Zwischenablagen verbinden und was man auf dem Handy markiert, hat man auf dem Rechner in der Zwischenablage und umgekehrt!

#KDEConnect ist so eine richtige Hassliebe. Es funktioniert nur, wenn es gerade Bock darauf hat.

Oh, es ist offensichtlich Warntag in NRW.

Cell Broadcast ging nicht.

Aber NINA hat angeschlagen und mir die Warnung dank KDE Connect direkt auf den Desktop geschickt.

Lass ich gelten. Ich wurde gewarnt. Sirenen gab's ja auch.

Ojo con #KDEconnect que uno empieza conectando el PC con el móvil y luego el portátil con el móvil, el portátil con el PC, el móvil con otro móvil.... Un no parar, vamos.

#PSA It seems the latest version of KDE connect for Android (1.33.0) broke connectivity with GSConnect. Workarounds on Android:
Installing past version from F-Droid (1.32.11) or installing Zorin Connect from the Play Store (current version 1.32.9).
