What Are You Doing Right Now

@Dashrender I believe they do send on the pager system, not SMS. Again we're talking about a very simple relay system - there's no confirmation it worked either way.
Cellphones don't have them as it's an additional radio + additional cost etc.

Yet most if not all cellphones have FM receivers, just they are disabled in the USA.
I'd gladly give up the FM for a pager receiver instead for critical messages. Though - how would that work? would you need a separate phone number? -

Strange. Maybe it was part of the show?

Maybe it is part of the show, but so incredibly disconnected that I'm still not sure.

Getting ready to head to breakfast at VeeamOn.

@scottalanmiller that's disappointing...

@scottalanmiller that's disappointing...
why's that? did you really want to hear that Netflix now had ads?
-
@Dashrender because the ad was setup in a stupid way not because they now have ads. Ads are everywhere so it doesn't bother me.

But it wasn't an ad - it was part of the show.
Kinda like the fake ads that are in RoboCop, only done in such a way that Scott was unable to tell it was a fake ad (or not an ad at all) until much closer inspection.
