My smartphone's alarm failed to make any noise this morning. Yes, it was set. Yet, it was actually going off. But it just wouldn't make any noise. The alarm volume was maxed out and "do not disturb" was turned off. I couldn't get it to make _any_ alarm noises in the settings, either. I had to reboot my phone to get it to make any alarm noises, which I've never had to do in my 12 years of using a smartphone for this.
Guess it's time to get a traditional alarm clock since smartphones aren't reliable enough for my purposes.-

Feels like smartphones are about integrating as much tech as possible into a small package, without much care being put into quality. -

@Weeble It's a Pixel 6, so not the worst. I've had lower quality phones in the past that have had fewer problems.
I'm still following @slowfallinward line of thought and getting an alarm clock. -

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com I mean a phone failing once in 12 yrs isn't enough evidence to just write off smartphones as a whole. Probs had a shitty phone which u might be able to replace with the warranty

When the phone is just another app...
Gone are the days when my Nokia 3210 would trigger the alarm even if off and calls would come through no matter what.
Should've seen it coming when my Xperia would take forever to show me the call screen (making me lose calls) because it was low on memory due to all the bloatware.
