This probably varies wildly but in the US (or parts there of) landlines have to work in emergency situations - ie no power. Even if you have a 'phone line' delivered over optical the phone company provides you with an optical net

Yeah RSA made these for a looong time. But if you don't have a phone to program it you'd need a camera or some way to manually enter the data.

Accidental drug dosing happens all the time, with things with much larger effective doses. People mix up drugs. Drugs absolutely fall out of people's pockets on a near constant basis.

I never knew the Blackberry pagers were 386s. I know they've made a variety of portable 386s (and still do) but had no idea they made them into Blackberries.

>They’re a much more reliable way of getting an emergency call out than a multifunction mobile phone. More reliable than a landline?

Maybe there is a market for minuscule TOTP devices. Just 7 segment displays for the code and the lowest res camera that can decode a QR code.

People cutting themselves off from modern convenience for moral reasons only gets interesting to me when it approaches Amish levels of commitment.

The dose makes the poison. The LD50 for lye is 4,090 (rats) - 6,600 mg/kg (mice). The LD50 for fentanyl is 3.1 mg/kg in rats and 0.03 mg/kg in monkeys. So, very different.

>I'm not a ham, because I don't want to hang out with self-appointed cops Hams do have a "Whacker" problem. General Boomer mentality scares away a lot of new Hams as well.

I don't think its too outlandish to see these getting to a price point where they're cheaper than a human. The goal might not be an appliance Rosie the Robot in every household but having a robot that can help the infirm, elderly

Yes, I do agree. The hope is that full-self-driving systems will help people who should really not be on the road, negligent drivers, the elderly, those with impaired capacity from drugs and alcohol, etc.

Those things you listed are not "oopsie daisy" mistakes everyone makes, those are situations that arise from negligent driving.

Would the pre-collision avoidance systems that are standard in a lot of vehicles now been able to prevent an accident with this kind of "peek a boo" scenario?

Thought this was a great idea until I saw you had to create an account to see details. Seems pretty antithetical to the entire premise.

I should have probably left surveillance out because I was thinking less about panopticon style surveillance and more things like traffic patterns, crop growth, etc.
