To be fair, I've used the rogue BIOS excuse in quite a few Overwatch matches, and nobody buys it. So even if it did happen at this point, nobody would believe you. On Tue, Mar 12, 2019 at 4:47 PM William Herrin <bill () herrin us> wrote:

Enumerating the types of devices that are required to implement this is way easier than enumerating the types of apps/sites that need to implement it. All the government needs to do is set up the server infrastructure to source the alerts.Hi Mike, In many cases, only the foreground app has a clear understanding of the state of the screen. Not the OS and definitely not the hardware platform. I'd be super pissed if I died in Overwatch because the BIOS tried to take over the screen to display an amber alert.
