Title is self explanatory. For background, I am currently running Asahi Linux on my M1 MBP. Whenever I connected the hotspot without data being turned on, it somehow still worked like any regular wifi. I even ran several updates in the system and downloaded multiple apps in this wifi, which I find it amusing. But out of curiosity, I wanted to know from you guys that what could the reason be for this.
Is tethering overriding your data setting? If it was truly offline updates etc wouldn’t work
All the tethering settings are off. I’m just using the default hotspot settings.
