  3. : State of USB tethering (10 min) asked by m4rtink (Jaymzz, 09:06:13)
    1. Andrzej Lochowski, community (atlochowski, 09:06:24)
    2. some details about the topic: With the WiFi hotspot not yet working on Sailfish X I turned back to USB tethering for the time being. That reminded me that USB tethering still doesn't seem really supported officially and you need to manually install a random package from the command line to enable it. So I want to ask - what's the actual status of USB tethering ? Is there anything preventing it from being installed by default (Jaymzz, 09:06:25)

    4. Raine M�kel�inen, sailor @ Jolla (rainemak_, 09:08:48)
    5. currently connectivity special cases (flight mode, mobile data, roaming, error, etc.) are handled in Connection Dialog. USB dialog would need similar capabilities, and we need to check all the places we handle connectivity (Events shortcuts, Settings, connection dialog) to behave gracefully with USB connections (Jaymzz, 09:11:40)
    6. community won't be able to help that much because most of the work left is in closed UI (Jaymzz, 09:12:10)
    7. https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Sailfish_X_Build_and_Flash#Adaptation_Status (Jaymzz, 09:12:22)
    8. community can enable WiFi tethering on Sailfish X with a workaround provided here: https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Sailfish_X_Build_and_Flash#Adaptation_Status (Jaymzz, 09:13:36)

    6. echo cancellation is not (or not fully) in place, which needs to be addressed, and the links above should help ^ (sledges, 09:30:17)

  5. Harbour/Store: support for paid applications (15 min) asked by naytsyrhc (Jaymzz, 09:32:25)
    1. some details about the topic: Recently on TJC the question about support for paid apps came up again. There is a very old question about that on TJC, never really answered by Jolla. There are developers out there, that would like to provide apps for Sailfish OS, if they can monetarize them. There is flattr support already implemented, but that's not the same as a "real" support for paid apps. Furthermore a recent discussion on (Jaymzz, 09:32:34)
