@r000t @matrix voice prompts are a slippery slope to mandatory mobile apps and push notifications

@VD15 @matrix I'd sure love a notification if my house was on fire

@r000t @matrix Sure, but would you love weekly offers and newsletters from their parent company? What are you gonna do? Mute the app and let your house burns down?

@VD15 @matrix Channels. If they don't separate those notifications into channels, they're in violation of app store policies and would not be capable of publishing the app.

@r000t @VD15 @matrix you know they'd do it anyway

@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?

@matrix

@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.

@matrix @matrix interesting
Still, even if it's battery only, just change the batteries as soon as it starts chirping. It won't even take 3 minutes.

@matrix @matrix The ones that use a 9v are a pain but most of the newer ones these days take 2 AA batteries.
