  • I’m going to go with the original brick joke.

    Did you hear about the pilot who tried to fly with a brick balanced on top of his plane?

    It fell off.

    How do you get an ostrich into a fridge?

    Open the door, put the ostrich in, close the door.

    How do you get an elephant into a fridge?

    Open the door, take out the ostrich, put the elephant in, close the door.

    It's the birthday of Lion, the king of the animals. Every animal has turned up to celebrate except one.

    It’s Elephant. He’s stuck in the fridge.

    Did you hear about the little girl who miraculously managed to wade several miles through alligator-infrsted swamps without getting eaten?

    The alligator was at the birthday party.

    But she died anyway.

    Killed by a falling brick.

    I don’t have an answer to the direct question, but if she would struggle to use her phone in that situation I also imagine she might struggle to clearly say “Hey Alexa, make a call to Mommy Jim” or whatever. I’m walking at the moment so I don’t have the details to hand, but mmwave presence sensors can distinguish between someone standing and lying down. You can also buy Bluetooth wristbands that can detect if the wearer falls. It might be worth figuring out if a fall can be sensed rather than reported.

    Eyyyy there are dozens of us! I used to manage IT for a school trust - about 2000 endpoints - and I actually pushed it out to every single one of them. They’re more pleasing to my eye, they scale perfectly and are easier to track. I got compliments from art teachers and SEND workers which is about as high a praise as you can imagine.
