I think there is a CA law requiring them to be switched on by default, and nobody wants to undo the law because they'd look anti child or anti elderly.
Phone makers should at least put a "Manage Alert Settings" icon on the main screen, mine was buried several menus deep. Tree-creep.
Don't quote me but I hear AIPAC is lobbying for a Lost Jew alert.
Don's group has already found the system is running on obsolete systems, will upgrade them, take credit for the upgrade, and leave out the fact that GOP underfunded them for decades.
It's like the plutocrat trick of underfunding a state's DMV and then use its poor service as "proof" gov't is no good.
while local industry groups representing 2,600 companies report 90% opposition to Google's request due to fears of market domination by the US tech company.
You guys get to dominate smartphones, so we can dominate e-maps. If you start a protectionism war, The Donald will inject chaos into everything.
Is Slashdot letting Donald Trump write the headlines again?
He began badmouthing the news anchor Connie Chung a few decades ago for no clear reason; his complaints were very vague.
This is smelling like yet another case of his bigotry. Why doesn't he just put on a Nazi uniform and come out of the dog-whistle closet? It would stop all the guessing and he wouldn't lose any followers, having 5th Ave. immunity. Elon's solute didn't end his career.

I wasn't thinking about sex, but simply the ability to pee. I was afraid I couldn't pee without it and would burst like a water balloon. Hey, I was only 4 and watched too many cartoons, whaddya expect?
...shortening American's lives. Make that the world, tariff waffling is driving world biz's crazy.
Give the joint a shitball review
I forgot the quotes around "wonderful".
The pandemic has made the world nervous about single-country sources. The benefits of Comparative Advantage are being downplayed at the expense of supply resilience.
Vaporware? That's in the eye of the beholder's cat.
Quantum computers have been crap, are crap and will remain crap.
Shhhh, we'll need a new bubble to rescue us when the AI market pops.
