Phone Link is Microsoft's late and closed source alternative to KDE Connect. It requires you sign in to a Microsoft Account for it to work.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/phone-link-requirements-and-setup-cd2a1ee7-75a7-66a6-9d4e-bf22e735f9e3

This means all the transactions between your phone and your PC are monitored and sucked up by Microsoft.

Just in case you hadn't read the terrifying conditions you agree to when you sign up for a Microsoft Account, here are two of the more relevant paragraphs.

So, yeah... KDE Connect is still the better option.

    That would be one of KDE Connects' main functions, yes. It makes sharing any kind of file (photos, videos, whatever) easy.

    You can also share the content of your clipboard from your desktop to your phone and vice versa. So you would copy, say, a web address on your desktop, and you would be able to paste it into your web browser on your phone immediately.

    Honestly, someone should pay @kde to advertise their apps.

    KDE Connect and Kdenlive are too great and "just a download away", yet "nobody" knows about them.

    Hey, @kde, I'm probably dumb, but how do I use the result of a calculation in KCalc as input for further calculations? This was a nice feature on those 1980's calculators, because I could verify an interim result looks sane before continuing with the calculation. But once I press Enter in KCalc, I can't just press e.g. '/' to divide the result by something else…

    My kids are playing ' geography activity, and it occurred to me, a language nerd, that it would be awesome if we could collect the countries' names pronounced by someone local, and use those sounds for a similar activity. Of course, it's so out of this world, that I'm not gonna open an issue in their issue tracker. At best, I could start collecting them, and only open the issue when I have them all, right?

    If you don't use Bing with Edge, Microsoft will tell you your computer needs repairing.

    They are not wrong.

    To mend your machine:

    1. Ditch Windows
    2. Install Plasma
    3. Your computer is ready.

    Apple had to learn the hard way: Under the DMA (thanks @EUCommission !) they were forced to give users a choice regarding the default search engine and browser on their systems.

    What are we going to do about Microsoft misleading users?
