@xinzhi: It's a tiny little thing. Inserted a SIM card, connected to a computer, and under macOS, got opencode working right away. In 5 minutes, I sorted out VID/PID modification and switching to ECM usbnet mode. I don't know anything and was too lazy to read the details, but it was easy. In the AI era, playing with hardware requires zero hassle. Now when plugged into a computer…

Just got a little gadget, popped in a SIM card, plugged into my computer, and under macOS I had opencode up and running right away. Took only 5 minutes to mess with VID/PID changes and switch to ECM usbnet mode. I know nothing and didn’t bother reading much, but I got it working smoothly. With the AI era, tinkering with hardware is hassle-free.
Now when I plug it into a computer, tablet, or phone, it shows up as a wired network adapter. The casing gets slightly warm, and internet works fine. I’ll check speed and stability later. https://t.co/VK9eiPXCfm
xinzhi (@xinzhi): Just ordered one for 30 bucks on PDD. Can it really work as a Type-C network card by just inserting a SIM card, or do I need to change the USB VID/PID first?
After flashing VoHive, can it still function as a 4G hotspot? Can VoHive’s lightweight proxy (Socket/HTTP) be thought of as a “wireless proxy”?
This is the most expensive single item I’ve bought on PDD. Don’t let me down.

@nicekate8888: For the past twenty days, I've been obsessing over one thing — how to make Qwen3.6-27B run fast and well on my Mac. I started with Unsloth Q5, got 18 tok/s, and the fan was roaring. Then I switched to MLX 6bit + DFlash, hitting 22 tok/s, still not fast enough. Eventually I found MTPLX 4bit: 43 tok/s with good quality.
