That does universal copy and paste with my linux laptop? Airdrop with my android tablet?
I can copy something on my macbook and paste that on my iphone - nice feature. Or to my iPad. I’m a sucker for interconnected technology, no hassle with transferring data between my devices.
Sure there are alternatives, but none that provide such integration amongst diverse class of devices. That’s the true monopole they have - unfortunately.

- dundundundun 9mo agoThat's a tradeoff you make yourself and in no way a monopoly.

- alt227 9mo agoSounds like you value 'features' over privacy and security.
- digiown 9mo agoKDEconnect over a VPN works extremely well for clipboard and file and notification sharing. You don't have to use KDE for it. It works with Linux and Android. It also doesn't require an account and accepting terms, so it is strictly superior.
- Towaway69 9mo agoThanks for explaining that, I didn’t know. So there is a definite alternative. Why doesn’t anyone start Orange Inc. to provide a one-stop hardware solution using Linux. I mean a place where phones, laptops, tablets are sold that are setup to work together? Why doesn’t Ubuntu (for example) move into selling integrated hardware solutions based on Linux - for the consumer market.
