yes you heard right, I recently find out that one can use an Android feature called “USB tethering” to get internet through an Android device. which is really cool since now you don’t have to worry about your wifi card not working in linux since you can just use your old Android device as wifi access point and have internet. not only it’s supported in Linux but it’s also supported in BSD world too. this can enable people in trying out distros like Guix, Parabola etc which doesn’t provide non-free firmware.
just wanted to share this amazing feature I didn’t know :)
Afaik that feature (or at least one of the implementations) was discontinued in one of the recent versions of Android.
Can’t find any such news but apparently some phone makers hide it in their menu. Probably in carrier provided models.
Fuck
Yet another reason to switch to Linux mobile (though I now have a SIM in my Laptop anyway)
It’s about the ability 😊
Wait, Wifi Hotspot was discontinued?
It’s a different thing. I don’t remember what exactly it is though.
No, it wasn’t,
