    Hi badgolferman,

    Logic. And sense. Equals reason.

    Like you, and like any logically sensible adult, I will agree with anyone
    who makes a claim that is logically and sensibly sound, and you know that.

    I will even openly & willingly apologize publicly if I say something that
    turns out to be incorrect - and you know that also.

    These Apple trolls? Hmmm.... they never do either.
    Their only goal is to defend Apple's honor... to the death. No matter what.

    With respect to the technical problem of copying files off of iOS to any
    other platform without using the cloud, the Apple trolls claim that iTunes
    can do it and that SMB can do it.

    And yet, Apple publicly disavows any support whatsoever of Linux.
    And Android.

    So how do these Apple trolls copy files from iOS to Android?
    (HINT: They don't. They lied.)

    When the Apple trolls claim to copy from iOS to Android using the Files SMB capability, they're lying because it's not possible (to my knowledge).

    If it is possible to copy from iOS to Android using SMB, let them tell me
    how they did it because Frank Slootweg taught me years ago that an unrooted Android can't set up an SMB server (due to the SMB ports being below 1024).

    And how do these Apple trolls use iTunes on Windows safely & securely?
    (HINT: They don't. They lied.)

    The Apple trolls are banking on us not knowing the facts about iTunes.

    It has been *many* years since the iTunes bloatware abomination had the capability of copying the IPA to the Windows platform (and even then,
    iTunes grabbed that IPA from the App Store - not from the iOS device!)

    So the only way they're doing it, today, is that they're not.
    They lied.

    Not only does that many years old iTunes bloatware abomination have known zero-day exploit which Apple has not fixed in those deprecated versions,
    but if the Apple trolls were to initiate that backup today using that old software, it *still* grabs the IPA from the *current* iOS App Store.

    So they lied doubly so (since what they claim is impossible to do).
    They can NOT get older IPAs. They can only get the *current* IPA.

    Not only do these Apple trolls have to use known exploited bloatware to do that, but that bloatware doesn't work on Android nor on Linux (which Apple
    says they will never support).

    In summary, I think I make a logically sensible reasonable case against
    using iTunes to copy files between iOS and every other platform we use.

    The Apple trolls vehemently (actually viciously) disagree. By lying.
    (HINT: That's what Apple trolls do.)

    Apple trolls think nothing of lying to defend Apple's honor to the death.

    Thanks, but I use Linux, and I already stated I'm fine with just using
    ifuse and a usb cable. Or KDE Connect.

    I will agree with anyone who says something sensible that is logically defensible, where I agree with candycane that Linux iFuse is the way to go.

    What AFC/iFuse allows on Linux is bidirectional iOS transfers over USB!

    When I used to dual boot my Windows desktop to Ubuntu, I was initially
    shocked at how *easy* it was to attain USB read access to iOS' file system!

    That's USB. Not SMB. Not anything else. It's USB file transfers with iOS!

    Since all that USB magic was done by iFuse, I desperately searched for a Windows implementation of iFuse - but alas - it doesn't appear to exist.

    That's sad because with tricks using Apple File Conduit (AFC) over USB that only one in a million people are aware of, you can write to iOS' filesys.

    Yes. Write. To much of the iOS filesys. Not just to DCIM!

    Notice I copied huge feature-length films from Ubuntu to iOS sandboxes!
    Alas, iFuse & AFC do not exist (AFAIK) on either Windows and Android.

    If anyone knows of an AFC/iFuse implementation on Android/Windows, please
    let me know as being able to do USB bidirectional file xfer is fantastic!

    You claimed I could own a BMW 135i because I didn't know how "bimmer"
    and "beemer" were used...

    ...yet you said just today:

    "Alan Baker has owned a bimmer for years and yet disputed what they're
    commonly called in technical circles; and Alan Baker claims to 'teach
    racing' and yet clearly has never studied the physics involved in
    navigating differently various basic curves."

    And given that I can prove beyond any doubt that I am a member (and past chairman) of the Race Drivers Committee of the Sports Car Club of
    British Columbia, and have SHOWN the proof, the last part of that
    sentence is clearly false as well.

    'The Race Drivers Committee organizes and operates the SCCBC Race Driver Training Program. The driver training program is an important part of preparing to enter the sport of racing at Mission and is a prerequisite
    to acquiring a Novice race license. The twice annual Race Driver
    Training program provides unparalleled instruction on handling vehicles
    under extreme conditions. For more information, visit the Race Drivers Training Program page.

    Membership on the Race Drivers Committee is by invitation only. The
    committee is comprised of some of the best racers in British Columbia.
    Most committee members have won championships in their class while
    others have done consistently well over the years and have proven
    themselves capable of excelling in all race conditions.'

    No one I saw claimed that files can be copied from iOS to Android.


    When the Apple trolls claim to copy from iOS to Android using the Files SMB capability, they're lying because it's not possible (to my knowledge).

    No one I saw claimed that.

    The rest of your straw man argument snipped.

    You *regularly* side with Arlen, who *constantly* lies. So your
    judgement there is laughably questionable at best, and a fucking joke at
    worst.

    But I'll indulge you anyway: Go ahead and point out this supposed "lie"
    you claim I made, badgolferman. Absent of that, it's you who are lying.
