Maybe you can help bump FB13400242, a bug that is _literally_ going to kill people. (The bug is that to make an emergency call, even from lock screen, you're supposed to be able to squeeze buttons on either side of the phone. But it on

Well, as one data point, I've been driving in the Northeast US since 1996, mostly around Philadelphia and Boston, and that has never once happened to me.

But you shouldn't optimize for the edge case! (All of my 20k+ photos, dating back to 1905, have correct metadata + GPS).

I'm very confused. I'm in Boston, and if I face 270, I get Canada, but if I face 269.9, I get Mexico. I feel like there should be something across the Pacific between Canada and Mexico.
