If you follow me, you have a sense of humour. If you're reading this, you're a reader. I’ve put this story online, free, gratis and for nothing, it's a twelve minute read. If you like it, maybe you’ll be curious enough to risk 99p for one of my short story collections. Maybe you’ll be smart enough to save some money by buying a compilation. Maybe you’ll be brave enough to buy my novel. Whatever happens, I hope you enjoy ‘Vincent'. aarondavid.co.uk/Vincent.html #freeread #shortstory #funny #pleaseboost

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)Attached: 1 image [#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?* - *NOT* "It can run #WhatsApp" (or *whatever shitty #CCSS for #VoIP* you think of)... - *NOT* "It can do #CSD / #HSCSD / #2G / #3G /..." - *But* DOES IT SUPPORT #GSM-#Calls (and/or #VoLTE)?? 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??? - Bonus points if you have lazy fucks like #HMD (aka. #Nokia) who literally copy the #Safety & #Useage information for all #Smartphones and #Tablets and don't even bother to change *"Mobile Phone"* for *"Tablet"*. *NO*, instead one has to download an *obscenely huge #PDF* just to then [read on page 34](https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/202410/20241010132004137/SM-X11X_X21X_UM_Open_UU_Ger_Rev.1.2_240925.pdf) 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... #Rant #TechSupport #Technology #Support #Sysadmin #Procurement #IT #SpecSheet #Tech

@ooguz Build a tool to circumvent censorship during protests over legacy comm's such as #SMS, #lora, #radio and Dial-up. He published software today. So if anyone want to help him develop this idea further please give him a hand. Dialup used to be a backbone service for many protests since 2010 in east and making it more accessible is valuable.
