Can we tell elected officials they are a high tech "privacy booth" and put them in all government offices?

Please?

Hey,

No politics allowed in the Lounge! When you want to kill your elected officials you have to use words like assemblyman so it at least looks programming related! Poke tongue | ;-P

That's the point, we wouldn't be killing elected officials - they would be terminating themselves ...

If it makes it more acceptable here, I could volunteer to program the pod software? Big Grin | :-D

You'd have to provide them with an "executive model"...

"Failed. Would not use again".

Because if it works...obviously you wouldn't get any feedback whatsoever.

Android phone? Use Teams? Sign in, or you can't phone the emergency services.

Some Android phones can't call 911 thanks to a weird bug • The Register[^]

TL;DR
If you have Teams on an Android 10 phone, and MS Teams is installed but not signed in, phoning 911 (and presumably 999 etc.) will not work. OMG | :OMG:

Google and MS are "prioritizing a fix" but you should definitely check and update when this one is fixed!

Operator: Which service do you require?
Me: Ummmm, OG just told me to ring this number to make sure that Teams wasn't blocking it! D'Oh! | :doh:

Operator: Ahhhh you're a CP member. We have sent an officer over to see Mr. OG already.

But... how the heck did they manage to get this bug active?

Thanks god I don't have Teams... It would have been really nasty if I could not call the 112 when I needed it two weeks ago

M.D.V.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
