Re:FCC finally starts tackling America's robocall scourge on Wednesday April 14, 2021 @08:46AM (#26806288)
I wish there was a way to stop this bs. Robocall numbers used to be easily identifiable. Nowadays, robocalls shows up as a random-similar number of a third party person, which is never repeatedly dialed, so even blocking the number won't stop calls from coming it (as it'd just dial from a different similar number...)

If manufacturers use big tech voice assistance, it'd mean extra subscription for the car owners...really sick and tired of these "subscription" thingy. Microsoft Office used to offer one-time purchase, now it isn't an option. Are we going to have everything subscription eventually?
