Do you like the iPhone 10's notch?

That was a direct quote from the article. Don't they have an editor?

I have an iPad courtesy of work, but it is confiscated by my wife and kids. So though the initial beneficiary is me, the usage profile is predominantly female
Which amounts to hours of Wordfeuding :/

I too have an iPad courtesy of work, but do not have a wife and kids to confiscate it. They would be welcome to as long as it was charged it and didn't fight when I needed to take it to work.

My family is my mother and brother, but they never use my iPad.

Each of them has their own.

My brother uses his to say things like "I want Domino's pizza salami mushrooms cheese."

Verbally he only says "I wa [something that does not sound anything like pizza." The state provided it.

Mom uses hers to look up celebrities. She inherited it when Dad passed away.

My field is almost exclusively female, so the vast majority if iPads they provide are for women.

I still read Boing Boing every day for the technical stuff, but, boy, are they political:

boingboing.net:Trump malware to infect every US phone on Wednesday

I sat by my land-line phone but nothing happened.

LOL. If they are a tech publication, they had better know the difference between malware and an alert.

I got the alert about 30 min ago. Thought nukes were inbound, but alas, just a normal boring day in front of my computer.

My son didn't get the message. Was there any content?

Boing Boing is four people. Cory Doctorow co-founded the EFF, but Mark Fraunfelder has gone deep into the weeds over the years.

My understanding is that it wasn't about the content, they just want to see what impedes the propagation.

EMERGENCY ALERTS

Presidential Alert

THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.

Curses! Now he has my phone number! What if he realizes that not everybody uses Twitter and uses this, too?

Imagine your phone going off at 0300 and it just says "Jobs!"

It's a shot across Jack Dorsey's bow.

My neighbor down the lane, from Alaska, doesn't even have a land line. He does have a pickup truck that says Proud to Be an Infidel in the back window.

... not, you know 'down the lane from Alaska'

I don't either. Happened when they raised the price of the land line to about $32/month, and I discovered a cheap cell phone would run me about $7/month.

Now if I could get one of those bumper stickers....
