:boost_ok: #FollowerPower: Or does anyone know any #Android #Tablet that supports native #PhoneCalls & #SMS from it like a #Smartphone using it's built-in #WWAN / #4G / #5G modem that isn't some random chinese import brand like "#Crosscall" or something but actually reputable in delivering #security #updates post-launch?

  • Looking for devices available in the #EU retail. I know enough sources for cheap import tablets...

It's for an eldery person who doesn't have the best eyesight anymore and just want to have something better than the overpriced #Doro / #Gigaset devices that are tiny.

Plus they may already have gotten their hearing aid or audio setup connected to said tablet for media consumption so it's less fiddly for them! https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114267754633162679 https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/113865596661922371

Looks like it's going to be one heck of a day at work. We have a major outage with our software for majority of our customers that were upgraded last Thursday night and now today they aren't able to connect or get signed in.

Calls are going crazy as are emails. Let's hope this day ends quickly!

[#TLDR: JUST TELL ME IF YOUR TABLET CAN DO #CALLS!]

#DearVendors of #Android-#Tablets:

Off all the #Functions you can put into a #Specifications Sheet of your Devices there's one you should ALWAYS answer clearly on your #Website:

DOES YOUR TABLET [with #4G / #5G / …) SUPPORT MAKING PHONE CALLS?

Like: IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK TO HAVE THAT INFO IN THE SPECSHEETS?

You're obviously able to list all the #Codecs natively supported and the user-available storage as well as supported Frequency Bands, WWAN modes, WiFi channel width and the Display Glass vs. Panel dimensions including DPI of the latter and whether or not it has a hall effect sensor to detect your overpriced 1st party tablet covers!

Now some folks may ask: "WHY does this matter?" or outright dismiss this as a problem.

Listen:
Not everyone is able or willing to carry two devices when 1 SHOULD BE ENOUGH and also some places (i.e. #Turkey) have #ImportRestrictions re: #MobileDevices, so having more than 1 #IMEI is already a "NOPE!" by the authorities.

  • Also this isn't something one can "fix" post-purchase like installing #VLC to decode some obscure file format in Software: Either the #Baseband and #ROM support #PhoneCalls or they don't!

So why do NONE of the #Tablet manufacturers allow to #search or #filter for that???

NO, instead one has to download an obscenely huge #PDF just to then read on page 34 that for any "#telephony" function you NEED YET ANOTHER DEVICE FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER AND HAVE TO SIGNUP WITH AN ACCOUNT and even that level of #abuse WON'T GUARANTEE THAT IT WORKS...

  • I mean, come on, this ain't some obscure functionality like #OMAPI to do some "evil sourcery" like managing an #eSIM that is in a #SIM-Card form factor!

Pretty shure A LOT of other folks have the same question and ain't willing to get yet another device & #SIM just to recieve the occasional call because #TechIlliterates can't be assed to send an #eMail or learn #XMPP+#OMEMO to message one...

  • Obviously they same manufacturers are able and willing to specify f-stops of the built-in cameras and list EVERY SINGLE #WEARABLE they made and certify as 'compatible' with, as if anyone is gonna take their non-#waterproof #Tablet for a marathon or god forbid triathlon...

#Zoom CEO Eric Yuan wants #AI clones in #meetings
theverge.com/2024/6/3/24168733

"Not only Zoom calls but also all other #work we’re doing every day. Chat and #messaging, #phonecalls, #emails, #whiteboard, #coding, #creative tasks, #manager tasks, #projectmanagement — all of those things together with AI help and new applications. That’s the direction. That’s part of our #Workplace [platform]. It’s our 2.0 journey."

🤦

Watch en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots_( (nice but no must-see) for a variant of this idea. 😉

#omnishambles #BritishTelecom . After years of more or less working services we have working internet after a renewal, but fixing a contract appears to be very difficult for them. #kafka (not the streaming one, the author) would be impressed. Many departments pointing fingers to each other. Doing things online too diffiicult for a telco, so #phonecalls . (other providers not much better it seems, at least we are online, and the engineers they send are competent when needed)

I kinda wish job agencies didn't call me out of the blue, asking me to drop everything like they are the most important part of my day when I'm already working. I'm scanning for a better contract next year, I'm not dying.

This could have been an email or text.

My mortgage got transferred — usually not a big deal. One of the two glitches this time had me laughing:

The new loan number I got originally was missing the leading zero. Fortunately, a later email had the loan number shown correctly. Apparently, this had to due with someone using an #Excel spreadsheet ...

(The other problem with my bank being unable to process the new payment was less amusing, but had an easy temporary workaround since I could just pay using the lender's app.)

@cpttrashpanda I plan on increasing my calls to my Senators, & my Rep. I say we get people to get LOUD with daily #PhoneCalls. If you don’t want to talk to someone, you can call after hours to 202-224-3121 & leave a message. Leave your name, zip code, & your message.

Don’t forget about @resistbot either! Text the word #RESIST to 50409 & follow the prompts

#Resistbot let’s you contact ALL your elected officials all the way down to your state representative
