    This screams E911 compliance than stalker-ware but I could definitely be wrong. I know E911 was a big deal in the telephony world and since Teams is a phone service, this makes sen…

    I must have imagined the hang Mike Pence chants. You know his kids were in the building, huddling in a secure location and could hear those chants. They probably also saw the noise…
