They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won't last. They're going full Microsoft Skype mode and it's only a matter of time.

door opening sound knock knock

I can still sometimes "hear" ICQ, and that's going on almost 30 years ago now?

    I still have the "uh oh" sound - use it on my phone for notifications.

    Same, however, I keep my phone on vibrate so I never actually hear it.

    I hear you! 🤣

    I so want a smart "watch" just for subtle notifications, with vibration patterns that can be configured.

    I'd even pay for an Apple device, if it could be made to work well.

    Oh, and it needs a battery that can last 3 days at least, preferably a week.

    I remember mine, and my childhood best friend's Prodigy account IDs.

    Always kept the Netzero around, but the best were the fly-by-nights who were sure they could run a successful business without Juno or Netzero's investment or technical debt by just asking you to pretty-please use their site as your home page.

    Well, "best" for as long as they lasted.
