There are dozens of us! Dozens!

I’m unfamiliar with the clockworkpi, but I was just looking it up. Are you saying they’re able to do phone functionality as well?

They patched new HWID requests being sent, but any existing licenses made with those methods are fine. That was only one of several ways to spoof yourself legitimate, though. The rest still work.

Looking at the products website the dongle you are using only has driver support for Windows 10. Unfortunately, you need to make sure to get a dongle that supports Linux as far as I know. As for USB connection, that I’m not sure. Controllers have always worked out of the box for me on Ubuntu wired. Are you sure the usb cable your connection is capable of data passthrough? Some usb cables are power only.

This seems like a cool project, I’ll have to try it out!

I personally still find it a little confusing. Maybe something like “Tails updates to Linux Kernel 5.16.1 to fix critical vulnerability”
