A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

How fucking stupid is that? Sorry, but not having a good morning. This is like when I found out you can't set the number of rings either. Sometimes I just want to smash all my tech and go back to rocks, sticks, and leaves.

Back in the day (ow my back) carriers let you control how calls are diverted by dialling one of those * 123*12345# type numbers.

I'm not sure, but I think these USSD/GSM codes still work nowadays.

They still work. I use them for routing my voicemail to the Jolly Rodger Telephone Company.

The full command is

you can get by typing the command *#61#
