A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Reading the comments I'm still amazed by how big of a problem robocalls are in the US.
Here in the EU I've had around 4 unsolicited calls in 20 years. Why is it a problem there and not here?
In US here. I do not remember last time I heard a robocall. A years ago? I did get one robocall message couple months back though.
@MxM111 @hedge @maynarkh I still get some robocalls, if they leave a message. Most people don't answer their phones if the calling number is not in their contacts list, so that has put a damper on the robocalls effectiveness. It also puts a damper on the effectiveness of political polling.
What's the point of answering the phone nowadays?
