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.

I have a "legacy" unlimited plan and they are now adding $3 per line per month to my bill because of mobile hot spot access. 2 of the 3 phones on my plan are pixels that don't even have the ability to be a hot spot.

Maybe the older pixels? My pixel 4 could and I use my hotspot on my 7a all the time.

Every Pixel ever could create a hotspot. I've used the feature on every Pixel I ever had, and on every Nexus I owned before that.
