An alle, die ein geheimes Smartphone haben - z.B. bei häuslicher Gewalt - am kommenden Donnerstag (11.09.25) wird um 11.00 ein Probealarm ausgelöst. Das Telefon macht dann einen lauten Alarmton - auch wenn es stumm geschaltet ist.
Lasst es bitte am Donnerstag zwischen 10:00 und 12:00 ausgeschaltet.

An alternative universe where computers never lost the knobs to control the CPU.
