Multiple regional copies of that article exist on Nothing's support site; the English one used here is https://support.nothing.tech/hc/en-us/articles/26183400098449-How-do-I-enable-USB-debugging.

Vendor extras
None documented. Nothing OS is close to stock Android in this area.
Windows USB driver
No official Nothing USB driver download page was found on 2026-10-12.
Escalation path: Windows Update first; then Nothing support; then, on Android
11 or newer, wireless ADB, which removes the driver from the equation
(../manual/04-wireless-adb.md).
The Google USB driver is not recommended here: Google documents it for Google devices and directs other devices to their manufacturers (developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb).
