Sending a file to a laptop should be simple in 2025, right? Apparently not for me, because my tech setup is split between Apple, Google, and Microsoft. It’s a frustrating multi-step process to do most things. Message my kids? Nope. Drop a file from my phone to my computer? Ya right. These are the kinds of things that happen when you live in a fragmented tech world.
I come from an Android and Windows background. I’m a huge fan of Android and bought every single Nexus device from the 4 to the 6P. Now I rock a RedMagic 10 Pro. But my wife is an iPhone loyalist, and my kids use iPads. I added an iPhone to my ensemble just to stay connected, and when it was time to get a new laptop, I went with the 14 inch M1 MacBook Pro. The Apple TV 4K was inevitable. But I still use a powerful Windows PC, an Xbox, an Android tablet, and a Quest 2 VR from time to time. None of my devices work together.
