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 :)

    That is definitely one of my favorite phones I’ve ever owned. I loaded so many custom ROMs on it and loved the built in kickstand.

    Back when HTC was at their peak.

    I wanted that 3D successor so bad. My cousin broke her Evo 4G and they gave her the 3D as a replacement so I tried the same but ended up getting another Evo 4G lol
