There’s already callerid authentication (stir/shaken). The problem is these companies were easily getting real numbers assigned instead of just spoofing so they were verified. This change makes it harder for them to get numbers assigned because when their traffic gets blocked right now they just pop up under a new name and get more numbers.

If they can stop these companies from getting numbers they can hopefully start blocking unverified numbers. Unfortunately I get calls from drs still that aren’t verified despite it being a requirement to support it now.

Yeah it’s basically old twitter before all the political drama and bots. The discover tab isn’t full of rage bait. I expect if you stop needing an invite to get in it’ll go down hill quickly.

Whether it was free or not doesn’t really matter. I don’t agree with Google at fault because the bridge should have been blocked physically if it collapsed years ago. The law suit is against a bunch of property companies so it sounds like they added google just because.

The biggest fault here would be whoever was in charge of that bridge. If it collapsed 9 years ago why was it not blocked off?

I'm happy as long as Siri doesn't get worse like Alexa, who will turn on a fan in another room when I say "Alexa, turn on the fan" but if I say turn off the fan it turns off the correct one.

Lack of an official tvOS app and Plex being easy to set up for my family keeps me from switching.

Is there an article? I only see a screenshot.

This one isn't click bait. It's not about him saying something dumb, it's about something really dumb he did and in depth. If any other CEO did what this article outlines it would still be worth reading after getting some popcorn ready.

I do. I don't care about twitter itself but this slow moving train wreck is still fun to watch.

The really infuriating ones are the ones coming from email addresses through my carrier's email to text gateway despite having email to text blocked on every line on my account.
