Get beamed

Android Beam is a discontinued feature of the Android mobile operating system that allowed data to be transferred via near field communication (NFC).

    My last laptop (owned from 2013-2020) had an NFC reader under the touchpad.

    I managed - exactly once - to get my phone to send a file to it using Beam. Did everything exactly as expected; initiated the transfer by NFC and sent the file over Bluetooth.

    I could never repeat the experiment. Once, and only once.
