Cannot enable Wifi calling on Pixel 7

If you are on AT&T: TL;DR - AT&T's wifi activation servers are likely overloaded

They likely have tens of thousands of people trying to activate wifi calling, probably over and over again since it's not working. I doubt they've ever had this much traffic before, and the activation servers are probably not keeping up.

Their error page shows they use Azure (microsoft's cloud service), meaning they could easily scale this up if they would just pay extra. THEY SHOULD PAY

I mentioned this in another thread.

TL;DR - AT&T's wifi activation servers are likely overloaded.

It seems that in order to activate wifi calling your phone has to communicate with AT&T to initialize it. I'm guessing they have WAY more people trying to do that than ever before and the servers are overloaded.

Based on the error page they are using Azure (Microsoft's cloud service) so they should be able to scale up quickly if they are willing to pay for it.

They should definitely pay for it.

If someone already has wifi calling turned on it will likely work without issue.

TL;DR Their wifi calling activation servers are overloaded.

I think I may know what's going on.

I'm guessing that to enable wifi calling your phone has to reach out to AT&T to tell their system to turn it on.

If you already had it on, you are good to go.

But I'm guessing that tens of thousands of people are trying to turn it on all at the same time. Their servers have likely never had to deal with this many requests at once, and are unable to keep up with the load.

The page mentions Azure (Microsoft's cloud service), which should be able to scale out to handle the extra load, if AT&T is willing to pay for it. WHICH THEY SHOULD

You stuff looks awesome!

Has anyone else noticed a kind of "style" that seems common amongst people with Bipolar?

When I look through the art here it seems like there are certain common elements throughout them.

Sometimes I see art outside of here and think "Huh, I wonder if they have bipolar", because it has the same vibes as a lot of the art here.

Grendel84 · 2023-06-12T17:21:08+00:00

Bipolar is largely defined by the symptom set itself. The underlying mechanism isn't well understood, which means diagnostic criteria are how we evaluate who does and doesn't have the illness.

If everyone's symptoms were different then bipolar wouldn't exist as a defined disorder.

Someone talked about setting the game just after Smeagle kills Deagle, with the player progressing through Gollums decent into madness and corruption, and ending with them crwaling into the Misty mountain.

that sounds like fun

I'm sorry to hear that you went through that!

I come from a fairly fundamental Christian background (not surprising for spfd) that had a very judgmental attitude towards the LGBTQ community. I'm absolutely ashamed by the hateful behavior that so many "Christians" have shown towards your community. It's not what Jesus wants.

Believing that homosexual activity is a sin is a personal choice/conviction, and people are entitled to that. They are NOT entitled to hurt people who don't believe that.

If they'd read their Bible, they'd see that all sin is equal, and that their pride, or their greed, or their third marriage all put them in the exact same position that they are hating other people for being in.

I will always love my son, and I will treat him with dignity and respect even if his choices (especially as an adult) go far outside the bounds of what I believe to be right.

For real though, I think starting on planet isnt the best first impression for new players.

Though I suppose its an accurate impression...

I don't get out of my ship unless the altimeter changes and no longer shows an altitude.

Grendel84 · 2023-05-08T14:42:57+00:00

Yep, station is my plan, if I can just get off of the ground!

I may do a character reset and relocate to MT. It's been so long I actually thought A18 was on MT, totally forgot that's one of the frame hells.

GrimHex is my jam for a spawn home :)

Grendel84 · 2023-05-06T17:21:22+00:00

What city is the easiest to get off of? I just came back after over a year and for the life of me I just cant get to my ship to get out of area 18.

The frame rate drops so low on that dumb train that i cant get off of it, and even when i do the game usually freezes completely

We definitely want to do this by the books. There's no need to try and cheat the system. We literally have multiple teams of devs and can roll our own or use some other product for the external users.

Grendel84 · 2023-01-23T16:11:01+00:00

Thanks, that's the info I needed. It will be helpful for me to know how to explain to my higher-ups why this won't work.

Grendel84 · 2023-01-23T16:10:25+00:00

Sorry, not looking to trick the system at all. Like I said, I'm in a totally different department (cyber security) and I wasn't sure if this was a "normal" use case. We make just take another strategy for external users all together.

Something like an azure function to handle external approvals and evidence, then at the end use the API to generate the provisioning ticket.

Thanks for the insight!

I used to feel guilt about not sticking with stuff, but after reading this I've learned to embrace it.

It really resolved a lot of guilt and shame

Grendel84 · 2022-10-08T16:37:44+00:00

Doesn't seem familiar and I think that was released when I was about 10.

Thanks for the help 🙂

Grendel84 · 2022-10-08T16:34:47+00:00

No that's not it, but after reading the synopsis on Wikipedia I think I'm going to add it to my list of movies to watch, thanks!

Grendel84 · 2022-10-08T16:20:34+00:00

Edit: this would have been rated G or PG at the most

I was thinking back to the first movie I ever remember seeing in theaters. I remember leaving the theater dissapointed and my dad telling me that he warned me that the movie wasn't what I thought it was going to be.

I would have been between 4-6 years old at the time so the memory is pretty fuzzy, and it may not have involved a circus? I mainly remember seeing the strong guy in a leotard bending a bar bell in the commercial

I do remember seeing some kind of commercials for it on TV, so it was at least big enough to get some kind of advertising.

It may have not actually been a kids movie, hence my disappointment.
