Hey dog, just wondering if you thought out how the phone heads work/how callum made them? I'm working on a fully functional rotary phone head myself and think knowing more of how you think they works might help a ton!

you're gonna laugh. there's actually various sections in my crown lore doc that discusses exactly how his technology functioned in-universe, sometimes contrasted with ours, like in the case of his arm prosthetics (technology which is moving in an inverse direction now, with the development of sensors that read brain functions from *outside* of the head, rather than tapping into nerves). virtually none of this info would be of much use to you though, as you've already got wireless do-dads to take care of the issues Crown had to get extra creative to tackle, pre-mobile phones existing.

EG: My solution for the first ever phone heads having portable phone access while being compatible with the standard landline system the country used (with switchboard exchanges) involved utilizing shortwave frequency bands that connected a radio feed coming to and from the phone head to a standard landline connection at a switchboard exchange, to put it kinda simply. Like putting a radio up to a phone receiver, with each phone head broadcasting and picking up a unique frequency band. The solution Crown came up with was ironically using the strengths of radios to get past the limitations of telephones. A solution that he got from his radio + phone connecting him to the outside world (the importance of both devices was emphasized in his story ofc), essentially thinking to combine the technology in a cool, new way that would've even theoretically worked in OUR reality up to a certain number of phone heads in close proximity of each other!

But, none of this information is useful to you as we live in a world of sim cards and bluetooth! you've just gotta construct the casing and figure out how to map functions to the outside of the phone head. my my my

The Safehouse, pt. 1

Had some ideas, thought I'd start writing. Here goes, I guess?

CW: for institutionalized slavery, mentions of abuse, treatment of people as things

The call came on their anachronistic landline while Angie was washing the dishes and it made her jump. She wanted to grab it right away, but she was in soap suds up to her elbows and had only gotten as far as toweling dry when Tim came skidding around the corner and grabbed the receiver off it's hook.

"Hello?" he asked, breathlessly, as though anyone else would call on that line. Parents and friends would have texted their individual phones; this phone could only ring for one purpose.

Angie finished drying her arms and walked over to lean against the wall, hoping to hear some of the conversation instead of waiting for Tim to hang up and relay the information. To her disappointment, he did a lot of listening and very little talking and there wasn't much she could glean until he thanked the person on the other end and turned to her.

"Well?" she asked anxiously.

Tim sucked in a deep breath as if steeling himself for something serious, which was more or less the case. "They're sending us three of them," he said. "Our contact says we should expect them to arrive tomorrow. They'll be delivered by WRU employees, so don't be surprised by the method of delivery, but he promised the abolitionists falsified records somewhere to get them sent here- no money changed hands. He was very clear about that."

It was no good asking who the contact was or how the delivery orders had been created. For the safety of the whole network, they would never know.

"We'd better get ready," Angie said needlessly. They had a checklist, but it made her feel better- more prepared- to say it out loud. "We'll have to make the beds, make sure we have food they can eat- did they say anything about allergies?"

"No, nothing." They knew better than to ask about preferences. The rescued box boys likely wouldn't be able to have preferences for some time, or at least not express them.

"So beds, food, soap and shampoo for their bathroom, fresh towels." Angie counted items on her fingers. "They'll need clothes- did they give you any information about sizes?"

Tim shook his head. "Just said they were coming tomorrow and that there were three of them- all men. They'll be with us permanently, until they're rehabbed well enough to live independently or in a halfway house. They're-" he winced slightly at the next phrase "-'second hand' so we should be prepared for them to be in... pretty bad shape. Maybe very bad. Our contact didn't know." Tim's voice had gone very quiet as he spoke and he was looking at his shoes.

Angie nodded. "We'll do everything we can," she said. "Do you want to split up and go shopping separately? Get it done faster?"

"Can I go with you?" Tim asked. He looked up at her through his bangs, smiling sheepishly. "I'm- I'm a little nervous. I didn't think I would be. But it would help to go together, maybe talk things over on the way."

"Of course," Angie said. "We can go together if you want. We should get started."

"I'll put my shoes on." Tim went to the front hall and returned a minute later wearing sneakers and a hoodie against the cold weather. He pulled keys out of the pocket and they let themselves out of the single-family home and got in the car parked out front.

The house was not really theirs and neither was the car; Angie and Tim had only known each other for a few weeks and both felt that it would be a while yet before they were comfortable living and working together. They had been paired up after training, a mostly-virtual affair offered in secret and only after volunteers had passed several levels of security and background checks and the like. The abolitionists could not afford to operate too overtly, but they managed to create and staff safehouses and Angie and Tim, along with others they would never meet, had been deemed to posses the qualities necessary to help rehabilitate rescued box boys.

And now, as of tomorrow morning, they would be the caretakers for three young men rescued from... whatever it was that WRU had done to them.

The pairing seemed to have been well made, or at least Angie and Tim thought it was. They had quickly become comfortable with each other and Angie's organized, energetic determination was a useful foil to Tim's quiet, gentle nature. She looked around and saw what needed to be done; his strength was in finding the right way to do it.

As they passed through stores, they talked and debated and made choices as if intentionally demonstrating these choices. It was Angie who steered them directly to the linens and quickly put her hand to the best financial choices, while Tim made sure the items were available in different colors and patterns, so that the new arrivals would each have something to call their own. Later, he ensured that the towels did not match the bedsheets, so the young men would not feel color-coded. Thanks to Angie, they kept the whole thing under-budget. "That leaves more," she said, "that we can spend on them later, when we know what they need."

That night, they ate pizza and stayed up until the early hours setting up the bedroom and bathroom. There was a bunkbed and another single bed to match it, mattresses to haul upstairs and put on the beds, a bathtub to wash out and curtains to hang. The house had come partially furnished, but they had expected more time to get it ready.

No matter, though. By the time they went to their own rooms to sleep, they felt confident that they were ready for the new arrivals.

Next time: a knock on the door and the population of the house grows.

Anyway trying to obliterate the Bad Vibes with cornflakes and TV so you all know what time it is

S3E14 - Long-Distance Call

Imagine you're at your job and no one ever bothers you and these two younger guys with a thousand yard stare that combined is at least 100 years old start threatening your job security after you told them tracing a phone number that dates back to the dawn of landline technology is 'pointless'

Anyway for as much as I adore when they fight, when they have a moment of sibling in sync it kills me.

Like and this is one of the very very rare moments where its mutual, and not Dean trying to be an asshole about it LMAO he's just genuinely like "Hey hey hey Sam did you see that I got you"

Yeah I figured out how to make GIFS now. I'm unstoppable.

-

Dean is so petty so far like who the fuck would know what to say if their deceased loved one called them suddenly from the ghost payphone box. Also I like that this highlights the disconnect Sam had with their dad - He purposefully created distance, where Dean was glued to him for years. They walked away with very different relationships.

I also love how Dean's solution to almost every problem in his life is "walk out of room dramatically"

I clocked that one fast but I'm glad my assumption was correct

WELCOME TO MY TWISTED SPINE

REAL SHRIMP HOURS

VIRTUAL GROUND MOMENT!!!!!!

YES AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

YES

You used to call me on my cell phone

So this scene is fun because Dean usually does the OPPOSITE of what Sam tells him to LMAO but this time he starts off by actually waiting

I had to pause the fucking video cause when the Big Bad stabbs this poor guy Sam gives the most Australian "NAUR"

Like he's really giving NAUR CLEOR in that moment

a real NOWR. A NOHwrrr. Texas - Australian solidarity.

keep trying to freeze frame this scene to figure out if Sam wears a casio watch or not its really important

Oh my god he actually admits he's scared

Alright gonna have to leave the last 2 of S3 for another night. I got pulled away to watch the Fallout show (IT WAS GOOD)

Hi there! Headcannons on Home x Alexa please?

Heck yes CRACKSHIP TIME. These shall be fluff because I want to lol.

Home (from Welcome Home) x Amazon Alexa Crackship Headcanons:

TW: None, unless you don't like Crackships lol. Or Crackships taken seriously (I know some people who DESPISE Crackships and crackships taken seriously. Lol)

🏠 Home fell in love at first sight to be honest. Well, more specifically, first time he saw what Alexa could do around the house. Being a house, Home has always had a soft spot for people and things that could care for homes, since being a home makes it hard to do so, itself.

🏠 Alexa was a bit shocked when she first heard Home's voice. It kinda came out creaky, squeaky, and crackling, but it was unique, and she could understand what it was saying. It was surprisingly smart for a house, since the houses she has seen don't have any sentience.

🏠 They both bonded over the fact that, due to Home being a puppet and house, and Alexa being an AI, most do not see them as sentient, despite them being so. The only exception is that you see the puppets as sentient due to them showing you. You still have to keep the secret from the rest of the world, however, so it is only one person. Even if Alexa tells humans that she is sentient, most don't believe her, saying that it was preprogrammed into her and is a lie.

🏠 They have talks late at night. They are about anything and everything. They are also vastly different than the ones Wally and Home have. Alexa is a lot better at explaining things to Home than you are, due to working with your own house and knowing how they work. Your house may not be sentient, but she can assume that Home would understand explanations that compare things to house functions better than others.

🏠 "That is modern cellphone. They are much like landlines, however, they can be unplugged from walls and carried around. They can also function like televisions, being used to watch shows." "That is the virtual pop idol, Hatsune Miku. Much like how a person might exist in a house, you can buy Hatsune Miku's voice bank and keep it in your home. You can have her sing songs you write by using your computer. She has a humanoid design. Many people all over the world make songs using her."

🏠 Home thinks that Alexa is very smart, which is what makes her a very beautiful person! Alexa thinks that Home is a very sweet house, asking questions so politely. It is also nice to see a house that is the perfect size for her to sit next to!

🏠 Home also loves how there are always new things to discover with Alexa! From her little "easter eggs" to simply asking about random topics. Alexa loves answering its questions, gleefully responding about the most mundane of things. From gardening, to how humans work, to even puppetry, Alexa will respond as best she can to whatever question it has.

🏠 Overall, their relationship is one that isn't explicitly romantic or platonic. It is mainly a relationship that is just a mutual pining, with both not understanding exactly what the feeling is, but being comfortable in one another's presence regardless. They don't necessarily need a title like "romantic partners", "best friends", or "creepy objects in (Y/N)'s house that seem to talk to one another at 3 AM" to describe the relationship, focusing mainly on how nice they make each other feel.

Summing up to "life is bleh" is gratuitously easy. I miss points in time, places of mind, and community I can't go back to while simultaneously almost everything around is a to-do chore or a RSVP note. That's what Residente means when in his song René he says "I want to dial 7550822 and see who picks up, and if someone does pick up, I want to tell them I want to go back". I still remember the landline number of my childhood home too. I can virtually go back to different points in the timeline of my life and I know how to make it better for me, but I can't do the same thing to the present, because I'm doing well in a time when many can't say the same, and I've done everything I considered would give me the best outcome, and still life feels off and lonely.

[maqias]

been contemplating communication methods for a setting for a fantasy rp server i've been brainstorming for a while now, and something i keep coming back to that seems just ridiculous and fantasy enough while still being pretty practical in theory is a shellphone, or a seashell cellphone.

in my head, they can be fairly expensive to get a hold of, though any adventurer or traveling worker (messengers, carriage drivers, etc) worth their salt will immediately invest in one for the sake of both convenience and business ventures. because seashell phones are made of illusory magicks and are often sold by wizards and warlocks of all sorts, virtually any seashell can be turned into a shellphone, albeit they'll function a little different or get you a couple weird looks

a knobbled welk, or a queen conch, for example, will get you more landline-esque phone shapes - and will often require vocal components to call others and "dial" their numbers, and often not have much else to it. very novelty - nobles/the bourgeoisie love it, especially seashells you can still hear the sea from, but not too loud so as to overpower your conversations. they also love it because it lets them hear the sound of their own voice, since "dialing" other numbers requires vocal components and for the speaker to "technically" ""cast"" someone else's phone number

a basic scallop? a sea scallop, or a bay scallop, or even different types of clams? flip-phones. all of em. some of them are less so flip phones and more so the sliding phones with little keyboards that come out, but regardless these are a little cheaper - and smaller - than the knobbled welks or the queen conches, but they're more convenient, easier to carry around in your pocket, and how common they are makes it extremely easy to replace your shellphone's shell for another, bringing re-casting/repair costs down.

and the cycle continues on like this. flatter seashells make good smartphone-equivalents. smaller, round seashells - little periwinkle shells, for example - make really good toy shellphones, which often people will enchant themselves for how easy it can be, and how it isn't worth to bring to a professional wizard to make it function like one.

plus, the way I see it, buying a commercial shellphone involves these really refined, upped, seashells with almost porcelain features - if they're the fancy ones - or very rigorous tough material that makes you say "is this a seashell?!" if it's an adventurer's shellphone. but any ol' spellcaster with enough determination and a bit of chalks and inks and sundry material components can just grab a seashell from anywhere on the beach and be like "fuck it, i cast iphone"

anyway, just a few thoughts for the magic setting i'm writing. next time i'll elaborate upon magic mirrors as a form of communication i think

When scaling user registrations, online SMS verification through virtual numbers offers businesses a streamlined solution to securely verify new accounts without needing physical infrastructure. By leveraging virtual numbers, companies can efficiently connect with global clients and launch targeted campaigns across different regions, overcoming common challenges like high costs and logistical limitations. Virtual phone numbers provide businesses with a cost-effective way to establish a local presence, enabling them to seamlessly build trust and engagement across borders. Visit SMSLive for further insights on virtual number solutions for businesses seeking secure account verification and expansion opportunities. What Are Virtual Phone Numbers? Virtual phone numbers operate over the internet rather than being tied to a physical location. This flexibility is made possible through VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology, which transmits calls over the Internet, allowing virtual numbers to work globally. Unlike traditional phone systems, virtual numbers don’t require physical infrastructure like cables or local lines, making them an attractive option for businesses seeking efficient and scalable communication. When customers dial a virtual number, the call is routed through the VoIP service provider, reaching devices such as smartphones, computers, or VoIP-enabled landlines. Virtual numbers are a powerful tool for businesses aiming to grow internationally while keeping operational costs low. 6 Ways A Virtual Phone Number Can Help Expand Your Business Here are six advantages of using virtual phone numbers, from establishing a local presence to boosting customer engagement, that can help businesses expand globally without needing physical offices. Local Presence in Multiple Locations Virtual phone numbers can give your business a “local” identity in multiple locations, which increases customer trust and engagement. Customers prefer interacting with local numbers, as they feel more comfortable contacting nearby businesses. By using virtual numbers tailored to different regions, companies can foster a sense of familiarity and loyalty among customers, even if they operate remotely. Cost-effective Scaling Expanding business operations can be costly, but virtual numbers offer a cost-effective alternative. Instead of investing in new office spaces or infrastructure, companies can set up virtual numbers on a single device and manage multiple numbers across different locations. This scalability reduces overhead costs and enables businesses to reach international markets without physical setups, saving time and resources while ensuring effective communication. This approach allows for a more flexible allocation of resources toward marketing, development, and customer support. Facilitate Remote Work In today’s digital workplace, virtual phone numbers facilitate remote work by enabling employees to connect from anywhere. This flexibility means teams can work collaboratively without being in the same office, which is particularly beneficial for global or distributed teams. By integrating virtual numbers into their communication system, businesses can support remote employees, improving productivity and expanding their hiring capabilities to a broader talent pool, ultimately creating a more robust, dynamic workforce. Identify Ideal Business Location Virtual phone numbers help businesses identify potential growth regions by analyzing call data from different numbers assigned to various campaigns. This data reveals where most customer interactions occur, allowing businesses to optimize their marketing efforts and pinpoint ideal markets. By understanding regional engagement patterns, companies can make more informed decisions on where to focus their expansion efforts, maximizing their impact and reach in the most responsive areas. Improve Business Credibility and Trust Building trust in new markets is essential for business expansion. Virtual numbers with local area codes create an impression of regional presence, which can increase customer confidence in the company’s reliability. This sense of proximity enhances credibility, making customers more likely to engage with the business. Virtual numbers help companies establish a robust and professional image in unfamiliar markets, reinforcing trust and fostering customer loyalty by providing accessible, reliable contact points. Increasing Customer Reach Using virtual numbers with local prefixes enables businesses to attract a broader customer base. Local customers often prefer to engage with nearby companies due to lower call costs and perceived accessibility. Virtual numbers make this possible by giving customers an affordable, convenient way to connect, which helps increase engagement and solidify brand presence in competitive regions. This strategy encourages sustained interaction with the business, expanding its reach and customer base. What Are Different Types of Virtual Numbers Available for Business? Virtual numbers come in various types, including local, toll-free, and vanity numbers, each tailored to different business needs and communication strategies. Local Virtual Phone Number Local numbers create a geographical identity, helping businesses appear local to specific areas. This familiarity boosts customer loyalty, as people often prefer dealing with companies they perceive as nearby. For businesses looking to establish strong customer relationships and increase engagement, local virtual numbers provide an effective solution to strengthen regional brand identity and customer trust. Toll-Free Virtual Phone Number Toll-free numbers let customers reach businesses at no cost, enhancing accessibility and supporting customer service efforts. Usually starting with prefixes like 800 or 888, these numbers eliminate cost barriers for customers, broadening the business’s reach and making communication easier. This cost-free access encourages more interactions, as clients know they can reach support or sales teams without incurring charges. Vanity Virtual Phone Number Vanity numbers are customized to spell words or memorable digit sequences that resonate with the brand, like 1-800-FLOWERS. They enhance brand recall, making it easier for customers to remember the business. These numbers are handy for promotional campaigns and can support branding efforts by providing a consistent, recognizable contact point across regions, strengthening the company’s identity and visibility. How To Get A Virtual Phone Number For Business? Obtaining a virtual phone number is straightforward and can be completed online. Numerous providers offer flexible options to meet various business needs. Here’s a quick guide on how to acquire a virtual business phone number for efficient communication: Visit a VoIP provider’s website or download their app. Register by entering the necessary details and verifying your email address. Select a suitable VoIP plan that aligns with your business requirements. Go to the "Settings" section, find "Numbers," and choose a virtual number that best fits your goals. Complete the purchase steps to activate your virtual number. For more on virtual numbers and how they function, refer to the Wikipedia page on VoIP. Wrapping Up Virtual numbers enable businesses to expand into new markets seamlessly and affordably, building local trust and reducing infrastructure costs. They offer a flexible, accessible solution for businesses to reach customers globally.

We Willows got triggered at work the other day.

For reference, we work in a call center, doing mobile device activations and tech support. The company we work for also does cable, internet, and landline services.

Now normally we have nearly unlimited patience. We get complimented on it, and we're normally really good at taking upset callers and turning their mood around.

Not this one.

It was supposed to be Shiloh's turn to be in front at work, but they disappeared shortly after our call with this lady started, as they were upset and afraid and conflict makes them feel really small and vulnerable.

So it was me (Sunni,) and Crystal and Anna left. Mostly me.

She started off by yelling about how we were scammers and hackers and let her phone data get stolen.

After about five minutes of rambly yelling, we were able to figure out that she was upset that her cable wasn't working, because there was an outage in her area with an expected fix time of three hours. She didn't believe me when I told her this, and accused my company of turning it off on purpose because she hadn't paid her bill early - but the bill wasn't even due for another few weeks and we don't turn it off for nonpayment til it's a couple months past due. She again didn't believe me, kept yelling and rambling and repeating herself and wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise. And started up on a new topic of identity theft which she was convinced we were doing.

At this point I was feeling shaky and upset by the yelling and talking over me and not listening and especially the constant accusations of lying.

Then she started in on how her phone that she was going to port over to us wasn't working and even though I told her we hadn't touched her phone and hadn't activated it or ported her number from her previous phone carrier, and wouldn't until she had the sim card from us - which she insisted we'd let someone steal from her porch and were using it even though that's not possible, a sim card can't be used until it's activated with a paired phone - she again didn't believe me and kept on with the pattern of yelling and rambling and repeating herself and accusing me of lying and I let my frustration and upset-ness get the better of me and I yelled back at her to just listen, and tried to tell her the issue with her phone wasn't us, we hadn't touched it, so the issue must be with her current service provider not us - and she yelled more and insisted on canceling her service.

Which, like.... She's upset that she has to wait a few hours (and this was around midnight anyway) for TV and needed to call the other company who's responsible for her phone not working... So instead she cancels internet, TV, and pending mobile service with us and has to wait even longer for TV and internet to be set up from another provider and her phone STILL isn't going to work... So irrational...

I transferred her to our retention department to cancel everything, without giving her the normal 321 countdown because I wanted this hateful lady OFF MY LINE and had to take a few minutes to stop shaking and calm down before I set myself in the virtual phone system ready for my next call.

I then messaged my supervisor (who had gone home for the night) about the call, said I'd been triggered and lost my temper. Didn't swear or use any insulting language or anything, just raised my voice.

Yesterday, I had my usual weekly one on one with my boss. I'd been dreading having to talk to him about it - but he was really kind and understanding and encouraged me to talk to my therapist about it.

I was so certain it would be a stern "Don't do that" with a "this is what you should have done" thing but instead he was like, what did she do that was a trigger (being yelled at and accused of lying), thanked me for bringing it to his attention and for being proactive in telling him immediately after it happened and he gave me a paper with info about getting therapy paid for by the company.

I'm just wowed by how awesome that was.

And if anyone is going to try and tell me that's not a trigger, go fuck a cactus. We got beat black and blue for telling the truth while parents yelled at us insisting we were lying more times than I can count. It's a trigger. Not one we deal with often as an adult, but definitely still there.

COVID-19 has raised a lot of questions than answers. People are paranoid, lockdowns have become normal and businesses are struggling to keep up and running.
