Eh, I’d say mostly.
I have one right now that looks at data and says “Hey, this is weird, here are related things that are different when this weird thing happened. Seems like that may be the cause.”
Which is pretty well within what they are good at, especially if you are doing the training yourself.
A dumb phone and a feature phone are not the same thing, and a feature phone may connect to the internet.
Which is why dumb phones and feature phones aren’t common anymore, and the people choosing them are specifically choosing it to avoid being available via WhatsApp/Signal/Slack/Discord/Teams/whatever else.
My FIL for example has a clamshell feature phone, because he doesn’t want to be reached except by phone or SMS. He doesn’t want to read email or get messages on his phone, he wants to restrict that to when he’s in front of his computer.
So yes, you would not be able to use messaging clients on a dumb phone, that’s the idea behind their use today.
…so you just made it up then.
No, the phone industry made up these terms.
No one has done that. The only comments I’m downvoting are the ones spreading disinformation.
So how I read that is “Anything that isn’t what I want it to say is disinformation”.
Well, enjoy your day buddy, my participation in this thread is over. Its a neat feature phone, and that’s where I’ll be leaving that.
Several decades of phone technology as it developed…
Edit: and why are you just down voting everyone replying providing you with info?
While I get your opinion, these things have definitions. Here’s a super simple version:
So yes, this is a feature phone from what I’ve read of the translation.
as long as you are mentally sound and store your guns safely
Yeah, that’s a pretty substantial improvement to what we have in the US.
Perfect shouldn’t be the enemy of good.
It will take a lot longer to get proper gun control in place in the US. We’ve already got the GOP and their “Well it sucks, but too bad, move on” rhetoric going.
There is no reason not to minimize risk during the time it will take, even to get to where we we were 20 years ago.
Juuuust about ideal, definitely.
Looks like this is what they have - https://www.centegix.com/crisisalert/
I’m all for gun control. As in, significant reforms, nationwide reforms. Real background checks. Limits on the types of guns. Insurance requirements. Safety training requirements. The list can keep on going…
That said, I’d still want an emergency alert system in schools. There are other threats and other situations where it could be needed, there is nothing wrong with having both.
Who also made massive profits.
(and still is)
Similarly, I use my windows work laptop for accessing remote (usually Linux) systems, and a few specific apps that are windows only.
My desktops are Linux (and of course my servers here as well), and I have a windows VM for those tools that are windows only that I need. Which I’ve modified that VM heavily to not have the normal junk from windows.
A recent decision for “security” will require using AAD joined machines only to access email/teams/etc. I was going to make an exception for my machines, then decided against it. My laptop now just sits off to the side, with only teams and outlook running, and its basically all I’ll use it for.
Its a bit worse than that, as I understand it.
It would have to be proven as medical malpractice, which would be much harder. It was a legal ploy to avoid any consequences.
Note that this is based on my layman understanding and other articles I’ve read on this, as well as comments from a few people in the medical industry I know (doctor, two nurses, and a friend in biotech).
Yup, all visible. The only exceptions are fully private instances (or mostly private, with limited federation) and local only communities.
kbin/mbin also make all these votes public, so you could even just be on an mbin server and see all the votes. So right now its like… jumping over an 8" high hurdle. Or doing the limbo under a pole at 5’. You have to do something, just not much. I wouldn’t call it completely non-trivial to do, but it isn’t rocket surgery either.
As far as I know right now, IP and such details are your instance only.
Votes, however, are visible across any instance. I agree its a transparency issue. Right now I think a of of folks believe their votes to be anonymous (or only visible to their instance admins at most), but that’s not true at all.
Anyone can stand up an instance though. So its available for anyone to look at right now.
I don’t think it should be made easier, but I don’t think its fair to suggest its currently private in any way, shape, or form today.
Because it is decidedly not.
That is about the most generic statement possible, with nearly zero knowledge of what I’m doing on yours.
So… What problem? Feel free to enlighten me.
