Why would anyone call them a smart phone? They are always changing what I type and sometimes it’s pretty embarrassing LOL!!

Smart Phones, Honest Politicians, Laptops (that's why they over heat, BTW), all oximorons IMO.

IMO, my "google assistant" is the dumbest, stupidest, most limited vocabulary, "thing" I have to deal with, on a regular basis.
Once I "asked" for an explanation for how to do something WITH MY GOOGLE PIXEL2 PHONE.......and "she" sent me to......an Apple IOS Update page ! WTF ? When I asked "her" if she was aware that "she" was Android product, "she" replied "Sorry, I am still learning". How insane !

Got my friend to disable the "d.a., illiterate, lost in oblivion b***h" the very next day. Can no longer ask anything like weather or song title, but that's okay, since "she" would also butt into phone conversation with an answer that I had just inquired from the person I was conversing with !
If they're going to try.... have it be competent, not an annoying jr. high dropout.

Saw a report on how they can track you with your cell phone even if the SIM card is removed or you have it shut off! Tried to copy and paste it but was defeated in getting accomplished. It’s pretty darn spooky what they can find out from your cell phone!

My late mother would have simply said..."well, just don't do anything that you would be ashamed of or sorry for....so then, why would you care ?"
Her usual advice when asked by me or one of my siblings of her thoughts on "right or wrong"... She would say...."just imagine that an objective reporter was observing and writing a narrative of the scenario, are you okay with the way your actions and words are described ?"
Works for me.

Sure you guys remember when you could just turn on the TV then change the channel to see what else is on. Now with the Amazon Firestick [smart??]TV you can't punch in the #of the channel you want to watch. Frustrating. And they tell you what you want to watch!!!
