@dangoodin I said it elsewhere, but what's missing in my view is the false positive rate. Ok, it found 500. Did it flag 500? 5,000? 5,000,000? That's an important data point.

@UkeleleEric @EUCommission it was both sensible and not. 999 takes almost the longest possible amount of time on a dial phone, which is the opposite of what you need in an emergency. But it was chosen in order to reduce the likelihood of a false positive.

112 is nearly the shortest amount of time on a dial phone. And the choice of two different digits reduces the likelihood of a false positive on both dial and button phones.

@PeterLudemann @mattblaze this is the way. Never change another battery. Just change the detector, which you need to change once a decade anyway.

@evacide me. And I know a few people who aren't here but would also be interested. (In case that data point is relevant to you.)
