Wheres that option at in the settings? I didn't know that was a thing and I'm not trying to risk it

It's not in regular settings, but in an app called 'Safety'. It has a bunch of shit in there, but Emergency SOS is the only one default on.

I didn't even realize there was a safety app. Thank you

It’s funny. But, it works. A friend of mine was hit by a car while riding her bike (car ran stop sign) and an ambulance showed up.

Why do you wrap your identity up in which Megacorporation you buy buy your shitty, overpriced, but sadly necessary device from?

You tell em! Clearly you have correctly inferred that this commenter associates their identity with their choice of cell phone manufacturers.

Overpriced? Given the capabilities of your average smartphone, they're astonishingly cheap for what they are.
Azidihaka t1_is0ahv6 wrote
Based on what metric? The constant need to replace them due to built in obscelecence? The pay of the workers how make it? The ones who mine the rare minerals? Or just the massive profits that the Corporation and it's CEOs glean off it?

They'd have been a supercomputer twenty years ago, and magic forty years ago. They're an astonishing piece of technology.
Also, I tend to get a good few years out of a phone, and tend to retire them because of drop damage. I don't know what planned obsolescence you're talking about.
Azidihaka t1_is0cu3u wrote
You're not aware of planned obscelecence... But you still argue. Look it up. And you still think it's about cost when Apple is posting record profits... You need to I form yourself before arguing based on emotions and not facts.

You've shown no evidence whatsoever to back up your claims here.
Azidihaka t1_is3aiy7 wrote
I don't need to show evidence. They are literally passing laws against it. It's common knowledge. If you can't be arsed to google it, then it's on you if you're ignorant to common facts.
Nokneemouse t1_is3kc80 wrote
Once again, making claims with nothing to back it up.
Who? What laws? Has anyone been caught doing it?
Azidihaka t1_isiz3tl wrote
Again. Yes. They have. It's called Google, Captain Dunning Krueger

Happened to my Pixel as well. Default calls 911 when the power button is pressed 5 times. I got off a roller coaster with my daughter and 911 is calling me back, lol. Disabled that feature quick.
