A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I usually pick up and then mute myself and put it on the side from unknown number. Usually it's bot on the other side and will kinda delist you? If you hang up right away or don't answer without blocking the number, it will call again.

But this does not work for say, Telus marketing people if you are one of their customers. They will just keep calling. :(
