A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Schools around the country will disable the keyword functionality very soon. It’s useless in such an environment. Kids can and will say “help 911” every time they leave the bathroom simply “for the lulz”. And there’s no video so they can’t be caught doing it unless you station someone right outside to catch them, rendering the feature useless. Malicious actors are the most difficult design requirement for any system.
You talk like those fire alarm levers don’t exist.
That’s a very binary mechanism with little excuse for pulling. And there are typically cameras nowadays. No cameras in the bathroom.
