Hi, I use a laptop on the go a lot, and need mobile internet in it.
Using a WiFi hotspot drains my Pixel 6's battery and makes it very hot (even though tethering hardware acceleration is enabled in developer options)
I'd like to use tethering over USB, but don't want to discharge my laptop's battery.
I know GrapheneOS has the hardware USB port control. Could it in any way be possible to prevent charging (or slow it down significantly), while still keeping a USB data connection?

In theory the laptop OS could be configured to refuse power delivery to certain devices... but sometimes a simple solution is a good solution. I found this suggestion online: insert a non-power-delivery USB hub between the devices.
