Damn, do you happen to get sleepy/exhausted from caffeine?

That’s me walking outside for 15 minutes in the Australian summer

Yeah, i did notice that some places when put on hold don’t have waiting music.

But what I’m talking about is usually at the beginning of a call, where you just pressed some buttons to be put in the queue. Then you have music and didn’t talk to anybody yet, so no option to ask for no music.

Ideally it would be put into law that for accessibility all these phone systems should offer the option to turn off the music at the beginning.

Depends, some do, many don’t.
Once I had to wait for 50 minutes for ikea support, then when they picked up, they just immediately dropped the line.
Had to call again and wait again…

Sounds very similar to my experience.
Email is much better, but some services either don’t offer the option at all, or they reply to it very slowly.

Yeah, it just feels so exhausting to me every time. I definitely prefer the callback option, but I might still miss it if they call back much later and I already forgot about it. Then I have to call again and ask for a new callback.

Normally I would not change it very often.
Does it also have a timer? Just like 1 hour long?
Or would I have to adjust every time I want to set a 1 hour timer?

Now just to find one with a reasonable price. The GBD-200 seems quite nice, but I would prefer more affordable if I can. Not sure if there are a lot of options with vibrating alarm.

I’d be happy to post any questions I have there. I tend to be online very infrequently though, so it might not be that helpful.

That sounds pretty good!
Is it fast to set an alarm?

I would probably not use the bluetooth function, but did you try it? Do you think it impacts the battery life a lot?

Thank you, that’s helpful.

I’m very bad at remembering all the communities though.
Even though I used reddit before and knew AskReddit, I didn’t think about AskLemmy at all.
