Annoying as heck. I had turned off test alerts, but this “test” still went through.

what's the point of muting government alerts in the settings if it still goes off?


No phone lets you block the national/presidential alerts.

Bitches pinged early. 2:20 my arse.

We’ve got one less bit of government now that there’s no Speaker of the House so government is a bit more efficient.

Mine didn’t go off. Wife’s did, kid at school was on break and hers did.

Now my wife says my texts aren’t showing up.

Am I a Chosen One?

Yup. 14 cell phones around here lit up. Finally got those quieted down, and the MLB feed on my TVs was interrupted.

Interesting. I figured it would bypass that setting.


Wife is a day sleeper, I told her to just turn her phone off completely. Wasn't sure how the system works.

I'm kind of disappointed I didn't get turned into a zombie or have my heart explode. I have a meeting in five minutes I didn't want to go to.

Surely it came through your TV, wifi fridge, smart thermostat, and IoT enabled warming and cooling driving shoes.
