So this is another headline designed to get a kneejerk reaction outta people.

Basically if I'm a store that sends out a weekly email to subscribers, Google will "read" that email for SEO purposes.

If your on Android;

Amdroid is the best alarm app I'm aware of. (Called "Alarm clock for heavy sleepers" on play store)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amdroidalarmclock.amdroid

(Best few bucks Ive spent on an app, ad version just has ads in ui, nothing crazy) It has a feature where 5 min after you dismiss the alarm, it'll send a notification asking if your awake. If you don't respond after a while, the alarm goes again. (Times adjustable)

Sorry I've typed more than intended too, I'll put most under a spoiler so its not a wall of text....

wall of textIt also manages alarms setting as profiles, set up a few types of alarms once and when setting new alarms you only have to set a time and pick a profile.

Tons of different options; You can make them location or calendar dependent, make dismissing them require a certain light level or WiFi signal strength (go turn on a light or stand next to router in other room). You can make your self do some math or captcha to dismiss alarm (I have mine set to require a simple captcha when deleting,). You can make snooze duration get incrementally less, so maybe 10min, then 8, then 6 and so on...

Got a day off or need to wake up early one day, well you can skip or change the time for just the next time the alarm is supposed to go off, then it goes back to normal.

You take that 10k you were going to drop on a crap used car, use that as down payment on a new car. Get a longer loan with lower interest and keep monthly payment lower. The larger the down payment, the lower the monthly will be, and now you have 10 years to set aside money for the next new car or "out of warranty" repairs.

There are still new cars that have a sticker less than 30k, after warranties and any desired upgrades, probably closer to 35k-40k for anything not a truck, EV, or sport car.

There's also people who lease, they pay lots of money to rent a car for around 3 year, after that they trade in for a new car and the old car gets sold as used.

You can do school loans if you start paying bigger. Not sure what your debt is or how large your financial cushion needs to be, but if extra cash is sitting in checking not earning interest, its loosing value while your student loan interest keeps ticking up.

For me after setting aside money for savings, I kept what I needed + plus a small amount for whatever and the rest got dumped into loans, had that shit payed off in a few years. Think my total interest payed was around 3k, I know some people basically end up doubling their debt over the 10 years with some crazy interest rates. (Went to state school, so loans were about 50k for everything, I know some private schools are triple that)

(Also open a saving account or something, your checking account shouldn't have access to all your funds in the event of debit card theft, especially if you use that online)

Someone trying to get more add revenue, spread malware or just super dedicated to educating the population of lithium batteries. Or all three.

If that went through a censor, they need a new censor.

Well there's your ticket out "we're sorry the manufacture has discontinued this feature, here's a new solution".

Also its 100% better if the clients finds out the feature is missing via your company. A good company will make it right, ideally by adding the feature retroactively at no cost. If it can't be added, open the checkbooks and refund the difference or find a new solution at a reduced cost (quote the new stuff, but not the replacements).

Sounds like it's above your paygrade, if the company loses the client that's not on you (even though they can still blame you)

Time to update the resume.

If you're already on shaky terms, this mess could be pinned on you and you'll be out the door before you get a chance to pull up the paper trail leading to your boss.

In a less drop everything and run scenario, Is this feature a physical add-on or something done via software. Could always dig the hole deeper to stall for time and say parts are on backorder or someone key to implementing the feature is on sudden bereavement leave.
