I recently tried this with my old Huawei phone which had a broken screen but also a bunch of photos I would've wanted to save locally. It wouldn't even show up on `adb devices` let alone the programs that relied on adb IIUC. I even tried tapping the sequence for my code on the broken screen, as well as trying to turn on voice control to manually unlock the phone, but that didn't work either. I would be happy to give it another try though.

#82can we stop naming things worse than strptime and strftime
You should not look in to their other project then, gnitehtet[1]. It's a reverse tethering app named "tethering" in reverse. These two apps have saved my butt more times than I can count, so they can all it whatever they want for all I care.

#83A tool called "Vysor" does that very well. Need to compare.
Used to use Vysor, switched to scrcpy. First, this is free, so that's a big up in its win column. I had trouble with stability in Visor that I never had with scrcpy. Plus, it's open source. There's no comparison to me.

Wow you went to Antarctica? Why?
Was curious about the cost: Overall Antarctica Cruise Cost [1]: Low Budget $9,340 Mid-Range $13,010 Luxury $26,100 Guess the prices will only go up once climate change fully deploys the 3-degrees-warmer world [2].

OP mentioned they lived on a station, not doing a cruise!

That's a surprisingly great idea. A mobile phone can be used as a server, and for their capabilities, they are cheaper than Raspberry Pi when with some issues especially. Out of curiosity I just found an offer for a used Pixel 6 Pro for 70 EUR, supposedly only broken screen and the rest is working, where it has 12GB RAM with CPU Octa-core (copypasting: 2x2.80 GHz Cortex-X1 & 2x2.25 GHz Cortex-A76 & 4x1.80 GHz Cortex-…
how can you enable ADB/dev settings on the phone with a smashed screen?
I'm also wondering this. I tried connecting a USB keyboard and a TV via HDMI but couldn't get the phone to unlock let alone the screen to show up on the TV.

I think my Wireguard VPN already does this, sans root? I enable my VPN and my hotspot connected laptop is now routing its traffic via my house. Or am I missing what you're looking for?
Why the down votes for this comment? My Android does have that option, under: Hotspot and tethering > Allow clients to use VPNs. Note however, my ROM is based on LineageOS, probably the reason why not everyone got it?
My device is a OnePlus phone. I don't see the option you're talking about in my hotspot settings, but maybe OnePlus made it the default.

If you want to go to Antarctica for free find a PhD program they goes to Antarctica and you will get to go to Antarctica.
I think it would be super neat for 2 or 3 weeks. Maybe 2 months if you can go in the summer and spend time outside. In winter though? Oooooof no thanks!

#89I wonder if I can use this while debugging an android app. It would be nice to have a real device on my desktop screens while coding.

Android Studio offers this out of the box since the beginning of this year, I believe
