Yo everyone.

Presidential alerts are written and sent by FEMA. Trump can’t directly send unblockable texts to you.

Ah, it *was* Dubya, but much later than I remembered. The FCC mandated it in order to comply with the WARN Act back in 2007: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Emergency_Alerts

I'm pretty sure we can thank, not Trump (hard as that may be to accept), but Dubya Bush for the unblockable Presidential Alert part of the Emergency Alerts feature.

It's been in cell phones for many, many years, and I'm certain it was part of the aftermath of That Day.

What I'm most impressed about, positively or negatively, is that the presidential alert test actually worked even half as well as it did. Last time they tried a national test that involved actually notifying the the public, it failed miserably.

Trump's taking the blame/credit, but he did nothing.

I wonder how much space I'll save by converting the WAVs to FLACs, and if the Android music player can play FLACs.

Organizing cassette software in WAV files so I can load programs on stock 1981 computers from stock 2018 smartphones. Actually using them feels like using a magic fairy wand, but don't unplug the cord or you'll let out all the magic screeches.
