Any one remember that year at Google IO when Larry Page stepped on stage, looked at everyone and then just started yelling "IT'S BEAMIN' TIME" and then beamed all over the crowd?
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.
