Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
Hi do you guys remember how photos and files were transferred between phones in the earlier days? Like late 2000s?
Before Bluetooth came along there was another technology? I can’t remember the name and google is of no help.
@dukeGR4 @MonyetBot SyncML. But you're probably thinking of early 2000s or late 90s, by late 2000s Bluetooth is commonplace.

There was another method of transferring tho, basically that was the preferred method. And it’s not SyncML afaik
Some reason Bluetooth wasn’t too reliable.
