JYour phone's hotspot uses your cell data, doesn't it?
Wyes, but they often count the data separate in america
Kwhich I find odd, how do they even know?
JWe do have this lol
KI was aware the US did that. Here, no one cares how you use your cellular data. Want to wireless or usb tether? feel free.
KGuess America is different
JSame here in india.
Wboth android and ios with report to the cellular network that you have it on
JAre there different plans for that kinda usage?
KInteresting. Guess that could be a reason to root.
JLike you have to use 2 different kinds of plans?
Wfkd up and doesn't make sense to me, so for me, i have 50+gb of data but can only use 5gb for hotspot
Wthe 5g hotspot subtracts from the total 50 too
Ai know but like isnt that just using your regular data?
Wit is, but the hotspot part gets shut off after 5gb, it's a stupid arbitrary limitation, no physical reason
JIs there a testing branch for the bazzite-nvidia build or do I need to rebase to the "standard" bazzite:testing?
JIf it's being reported to ISP, can't they actually send a message or kinda warning?
Wsorry guys, im baked so my comments dont always make sense
KIts probably like how we used to get charged for text messages up here. Which is why almost no one used texts for years, everyone used whatsapp/telegram/whatever.
Kcell companies gonna greed.
Tthat branch will not have newer drivers
JThat's not only infuriating, it actually sounds least unnecessary thing about this whole thing
JLike if you are stuck because of home wifi maintenance, and you are working with big downloads, what do you do?
Wpay more $$$
Tright now there's only 4 new things in
:testingWhat about usb tethering?
Wsame
JWtf
Kprobably made rooting popular
JDoes rooting help to get rid of this?
Kcan confirm yes
KIve seen posts about it on xda back in the day
JI see. I guess that's good. Rip iOS users tho, also samsung users
JAh okay, thanks for the headsup! I'll stay on stable for now then 
Kthe current stable just came out of testing for a lot of nvidia stuff. I believe you have the newest shiniest rn
Wuse a vpn on ur pc side, if the cell network sees packet headers with the wrong names it might think your tethering

yeah if you ever want to see whats new between stable and testing, this is the page

JGreat, thanks!
JSo unless you have a sim slot in your pc, you are pretty much stuck after 5GB data 
Wo if you have a sim slot in your pc that's an entirely different type of plan
JI feel very sorry 
I hope your home wifi never goes into maintenance and works perfectly fine
I hope your home wifi never goes into maintenance and works perfectly fineJDamn that's some serious dedication to make things hard for end users
Wnon-phone devices that use cell are charged pretty rediculously
Wthat's the american way
KOi yeah. I lost power for 2 days once, thankfully my power banks + cellular data kept me going. I can't imagine being stuck at 5gb
JIn india there is only one cell plan and no restrictions on how you use it
Wcan i crash on ur couch?
JIt's actually more common to use your cell data as wifi hotspot for laptops than home wifis
KDownside, India hits like 50c sometimes
JCome over
