[extrowerk] tells us about a new hacker-friendly device - a $20 LTE modem stick with a quadcore CPU and WiFi, capable of running fully-featured Linux distributions. This discovery hinges on a mountain of work by a Chinese hacker [HandsomeYingYan], who's
figured out this stick runs Android, hacked its bootloader, tweaked a Linux kernel for it and created a Debian distribution for the stick - calling this the OpenStick project. [extrowerk]'s writeup translates the [HandsomeYingYan]'s tutorial for us and
makes a few more useful notes. With this writeup in hand, we have unlocked a whole new SBC to use in our projects - at a surprisingly low price!

There';s so much computing power in cheap, disposable technology these days, and you can do fun things with it.
