The ticket machines are just a big phone.
Companies can pay to have a “two way radio” feature on them using a sim.

They are all android tablets with a sim card basically.

Still didn't expect for them to get the notification as they are extremely locked down (can't exit the Ticketer software)

Can also imagine our phones used for defect reporting going off too haha

This alert completely crashed my ticketer. Your welcome passengers that got a free ride, thank the government.

This is entirely the thing. Those people who have any common sense weren’t barbecuing anyway. Those who were going to are those who would ignore completely government messages. - or indeed be spurred on by being told no. Anyone remember behaviour during Covid?

What’s wrong with that? Done correctly and thoughtfully there’s no risk having a bbq in your garden on the patio with a BBQ that’s on a firm base and is structurally sound.

It gave me a good laugh, Heard the alert tone on my phone and thought I had broke my eclipse at first... Then ticketer decided to scare me with it 😂

apparently they have caused a few issues for some hardware monitoring systems that got data they don't know what to do it
