It was nothing to do with the phone. I tried to find one for my father to use for his computer, as he only used the internet now and then, but the SIM only plans had data restrictions on tethering.
They started off as unlimited pay as you go with prices charged by the megabyte then gigabyte, then once high data plans came in, they started to get restricted.
As I said, it's been changing, but as far as I know, there are still plans with tethering restrictions.
The Steam Deck works so well because the screen is only 720p, and even then people have complained about low framerates on some games. Scaling it up to 4k for a modern TV would drop the performance even more.
It looks like a great handheld, but I think trying to use it as a console wouldn't work.
The Steak Link app doesn't recognise controllers reliably on Android. I've got a few controllers that work in other games, are recognised as being connected in Steam Link, but just don't work. Connecting them with a cable lets them work straight away.
It does, or at least did. I'm in the UK, and it used to be fairly common. Over the last few years, maybe the last decade, more and more providers used the lack of tethering restrictions as an advertised feature to show that they were better than the competition.
Now that we've left the EU though, I wouldn't be surprised to see the restrictions come back. We've already lost free EU roaming on a lot of tariffs.
If you're running the Folding@Home project through it, it might be worth looking at the Banano project. It runs the F@H program in the same way, but using credentials that they give you, and you get Banano as a reward.
On the one hand it's a cryptocurrency, so take it with a pinch of salt, but on the other hand you get it for doing what you're already doing.
If you're looking to start with Usenet, DrunkenSlug currently has open registrations. I don't know much about it yet, but it's got a very good reputation 👍
The fact that it might stop some immigration is a small bonus to the tories. Their goal for a while now has been to strip our rights so they can grab more power and money.
The sad part is, all the brain dead little bigots will be cheering them on, and not even noticing that they're losing out.

Before Brexit, we were the 5th wealthiest nation in the world. Even now we're still in the top ten. We can afford to feed and home our citizens and immigrants, but the government chooses not to.
If everything else seems to still be running, it might be the graphics card driver that's crashed. When it happens, hold down the windows key, ctrl, and shift, then press B. That should restart the driver and hopefully let you see if anything else is happening.
If restarting the driver works, it's worth trying a different version before swapping hardware.
