   A Complete waste of time from a 4 decade mac pro user

   Takes forever to send even small video files with high speed internet. Horrible documentation for transferring instructions. No option in the app menu to choose a destination folder. There's no way to compress all of your videos on an android to send to the Mac, even though that is suggested in their "features". And not 1 single video could I find in 2 hours of google searches that answered these questions. For a company touting such "ease of use", as a 40 year mac user, this was another waste of time app. If the company would like to contact me and answer these questions, if it is indeed an "easy, reliable app", I will gladly help them make a video that actually walks people through the problems I have encountered.

   Excellent way to share a folder with multiple files to another computer

   SnapDrop does an excellent job in sharing multiple files to another computer. Just zip/compress a folder with multiple files and select that zipped folder to send to the other computer or mobile device.

• Where can I find cheap or free vintage computers/parts?

  Ebay probably. Try https://winworldpc.com/home for old software. Source: about 1 year ago

• add this link to the megathread please (has some old games, along with apporiate operlating systems to run them in the first place, e.g ISOs of Windows 95)

  I found a good website, I recommeed it, because there's no viruses, and it's just games and old OSes, I found DOS, which is good for most retro games from the 80's to the 90's https://winworldpc.com, I have gotten working windows 95 floppies, but there's also ISOs as well, sorry for the miss-spellings, but google chrome is crap when it comes to spell-check, which freaking doesn't work.

• I have got to get this computer running for a project, what do I do?

  Https://winworldpc.com/home will have all of the os you need. Source: about 2 years ago

• Was given this for free. So far I know it's an AMD k6-2. Boots and seems to detect an hdd but doesn't load an OS. Research is ongoing.

  A good start would be if you have another computer with a CD writer to get yourself a Windows ISO of your choice from WinWorldPC, burn it and boot that on this awesome machine. Source: about 2 years ago

• Where do I find Software for my new machine!

  Go check out winworld. Successfully running the classic TurboPascal from there, haven’t done much else since. Source: about 3 years ago

• WebRTC API

  Snapdrop.net is one of many examples of the uses for this API, using it with WebSocket API allows endpoints on the same local network to distribute files and send data between them. We can find the source code for the project here. - Source: dev.to / 26 days ago

  Here is a list of open source options. This isn't the first time I have shared this on here either. Perhaps this is another sign that web search is failing us.
