In all honesty I meant to /sarc that shizz, but that bitter irony bit me...it was a joke, but the too close to being true to be funny.
Sorry for the buzz kill...

Smartphone?!
Hell, I just wished my remote would stop spying on me (Amazon Fire stick with the Alexa voice remote) and I don't even use the ****'n voice app on it.
I tried an experiment, I told my wife while we were in the living room that we really should take a trip to XYZ country *wink*wink*. In reality I have no interested of ever visiting XYZ country. Low and behold my social media and email gets data mined ads for XYZ country. Never once Googled said country much less ever purchased anything pertaining to it via a CC.
We're so over the barrel and have been for a LOOOOOOOOONG TIME . . .

A fool and his money... my guess is they are going to try some VOIP nonsense being routed to their network. The issue with that it their network now becomes a easy target.

This happens all the time. At first I thought it was a coincidence then is started getting creepy. For example; the wife and I are in the car discussing X topic. We are unsure of the right answer. Of coarse, the passenger goes to look it up on Google. As soon as we type the first letter of the first word of the questions, the whole thing comes up in the suggested search. WTF!
Or when I used to get in the car in the morning and my phone would light up telling me how long the trip to work would be. On Friday nights I would get into my car and my phone would light up telling me how long the ride to the place where I play hockey would be. Come on!
We are so screwed.

The singularity just needs to happen already.

This isn't new or original. Blackphone's been doing the secure smartphone thing for a few years already. I'm fuzzy on the specifics, but it uses proprietary voip servers and vpn's for secure communications.

I vote against the Singularity.
