@matrix Modern smoke alarms really should be a voice prompt. Harder to ignore than a single chirp.
Then again, modern units also have 10 year built-in batteries.

It's seriously ugly moment you realize just how much pointless noise we live in.
@Jens_Rasmussen @matrix
My fucking washing machine beeps 18 times, before it stops.
I hear the first beep, but I don't always have time to run to it immediately. So, why the fuck would they make it beep full volume 18 fucking times?
@LukeAlmighty @Jens_Rasmussen @matrix in case you miss the first 17
@VD15 @matrix @Jens_Rasmussen
Or in case I miss the entire ground stopped shaking?
@sjw Yep, that's how it should be.
I remember though a video dissecting some mains connected detector and it had a huge vampire load.
@sjw
Well sometimes you don't have spare ones, but it's not like the batteries are hard to buy.
lol
