Elon Musk’s Ego Sure to Get Massive Blow from Stunning Poll Results:
Here’s just how unpopular Elon Musk is.
newrepublic.com/post/191244/el

"New polling has found that the #billionaire technocrat has fallen out of favor with, well, everyone (including #Republicans)...

In general, a majority of voters just don’t like the #DOGE czar at all...

Lawmakers said they have been overwhelmed by #calls from constituents across the country concerned about the Musk-Trump takeover."

[#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 MAKE 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...

It's the small things: If you've been bothered with #calls and #chatty seemingly starting up slowly in #phosh (while most other apps startup fast): I've posted MRs to fix this in chatty and calls (which then also prompted a small fix in phosh). Here's a quick demo of calls before and after the change:

#recommendations sought: a single #application that allows one to manage #communications across mediums - e.g. #email, #sms, #socialmedia, (#facebook, #twitter #mastodon etc.) and chat (#discord, #slack, etc.). #voicemail would be ideal, #phone #calls would be nice. #postal #mail seems like a stretch.

And not just scheduling posts but helping manage #conversations, e.g., "you haven't answered this slack message on three days" or "what about that email from mom?" Anything out there? #question
