Tethering fees are another "brilliant" invention by the customer-hating American telcos. You get a set amount of data per month, for instance 20GB. Why should they care at all what you decide to use that data for?
I thought that tethering fees only applied to unlimited plans now? At least with Verizon, there is no such fee for the normal data-capped plans.
What I would like to do is use my phone as portable storage device and then plug it in to external processing unit and boot from my phone. The external processing unit could be desktop computer, laptop or tablet. The reason? When sitting behind my desk at home or office I don't like to be limited with the mobile CPU. I have the required kWhs to power a proper CPU, GPU and run 64GB of memory. I also don't want to run…
We really need robust USBC drivers. Even Apple, being in the forefront of USB C connectivity, is vastly lacking in robust USB C operations. Plug in/out of usbc cables causes dramatically high crash rate on the new MBPs

I think you're thinking about the EOMA project. Boards are soon to go out for their production run. https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop/updates/pcb...
Yes that is indeed what I was thinking of - it's a very interesting project. Imagine if that device was a fully functional, standalone phone ...
Just bought a Dex Station. If Emacs runs well enough then it will be a lifesaver.
If Emacs is all you need, you can run it today with Termux. Dex is of course nice for giving a bigger screen etc. What this "Linux on Galaxy" thing will provide on top of Termux is X (or Wayland?) and probably a bigger selection of software.
Nowadays I simply use JuiceSSH and mosh to connect to my main computer. I would like to have Emacs in my smartphone even while I don't have mobile signal though.

> I don't want to do a full reboot every time I "unplug" the phone from desktop processing unit and move it somewhere else. How do you expect this to work? You can’t hibernate an OS and swap out all the hardware and expect it to actually wake back up. You’re going to have to do a full boot.

I think there's some serious room back in the mobile market with the way these devices are going. Outrageously expensive disposables aren't sustainable forever. At some point people get tired of throwing $500 in the bin for the exact same thing they had last year, just so they can have a full day worth of battery charge again.
Maybe I'm the only one that is getting tired of smart phones? I feel like it just takes over every ones life sometimes. I'm ready to go back to a $30 nokia that just f'n works for half a decade, doesn't die every day due to battery usage, and in general... doesn't spy on my entire life story for the supposed purpose of better targeted ads.

for starters - don't throw away the phone - throw away the crapps - FB, WA, IG, Twitter, SC, ...

With a sophisticated enough setup, you could probably even dual-install binaries (although this would be much involved with ELF where you must have separate binaries compared to something like Mach-O) to something like /usr/bin_x86_64/ and /usr/bin_arm64/ and then use your shell to select your path. This might work on a system level, but would certainly work on a per-install basis manually.

It allows ethernet connection over USB.
Once ip network is setup, you can easily run nfs, samba, vnc over that network interface.
A few years back when I worked on AOSP project, I dislike the tools from Android. I put a "ubuntu for arm" rootfs in a subdirectory inside a cell phone platform, chroot to that subdir. I have full ubuntu environment inside a cell phone. xfce4-terminal, ddd, nfs, samba - ~40k ubuntu packages all available with a simple apt-get install command.
As long as you have enough RAM, CPU cores, storage space inside a cell phone, it is very easily to setup.
If you keep the vnc server running, you can plug and unplug that cell phone to any desktops, thin client and your can instantly log back into the same GUI environment.
