It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone refuses to open one. Everyone responsible for this shit should be fed to alligators locked away in a fucking gulag. We have no rights and live in a corporate plutocracy.

    They definitely used to lock it behind a paywall; back in the early 2010’s the ROM they shipped had the option greyed out unless you paid for the data tier that supported it

      Yup and there was generally a way around it even though most often it involved rooting the phone or using USB passthrough.
