I have now witnessed two separate people playing videos out loud on their phone *in a library*.

So, yes, I can confirm we are now in the end times.

The rip-off conference culture here is mad. I'm going to Germany to present at one: all expenses paid and a stipend. Same last year in Berlin and before in Luxembourg.
Here: "We're delighted to invite you to present. Registration is €275 and we've negotiated a €620 hotel rate for your stay". Eh no.

It would appear students, home on midterm break, can detect a powercut almost as quickly as a UPS. I do prefer the subtle beeping to wailing siren of "The internet is off, the world is ending" though.
