Oh man, that's a huge point. I got totally burned on a section hike last spring because a couple of the usual caches were bone dry. Had to bail out early, it was rough. Definitely worth double checking those reports.

Funny how we always need the exact model name for gear. It shows we want the right tool for the job, not just any random thing. Makes you wonder what else we over-research for no real reason, right?

Wait, what about the phone itself ignoring alerts when it thinks you're driving? @matthew_lee42 I've had my phone on a home wifi and still got the "silent notifications" thing pop up because it guessed I was in a car. So maybe the network type is less important than the other signals the phone is picking up. It's not just about the network name, the phone's own sensors and location data can trigger that do not disturb mode. That could explain why a guest network doesn't always fix it.
