[14:00] <penguin42> Dont panic! Dont panic! Dont panic!
[14:04] <penguin42> well, that was uneventful
[14:09] <zxmpi> not enough for a panic, how about a small amount of fretting instead? :-P
[14:09]  * penguin42 didn't receive an alert on his phone
[15:18] <zxmpi> you're not important enough to save penguin42 :-P
[15:20] <penguin42> :-(
[15:20] <penguin42> I came to the conclusion the android on my phone is too old
[15:20] <zxmpi> if you can't afford to drop 1k on a phone every year why would a tory government want you to live? :-P
[15:23] <zxmpi>  i think my androids are 10 and 11
[15:28] <zxmpi> and that makes me wonder, what happens if person is using a dumb phone, there are dozens of us! :-)
[15:29] <zxmpi> are you on prepay sim as my sms on tesco mobile sometimes get weird delays
[15:40] <penguin42> I'm on Three PAYG, waiting for an RWG sim
[15:42] <penguin42> my phone is ~5 + years old running Lineage, but I think it's dropped off the supported list, I should check
[15:49] <zxmpi> i really think it doesn't depend on phone os. even dumb phones would have to get the warning. 
[15:51] <knightwise> Don't they also use plain text messages for that ? 
[15:53] <zxmpi> they'd be mad to use anything else... they're gonna demand we all install slack, aren't they? :-P
[15:54] <penguin42> we should offer panic as a service
[15:54] <penguin42> zxmpi: It's not clear to me why they only did 4g and 5g
[15:54] <zxmpi> does ibm still flog lotus notes? :-D
[15:58] <penguin42> zxmpi: No, they sold it off
[15:58] <penguin42> zxmpi: They sold it to India's HCL
