Perpetual projects and daily obsessions.
The answers range from 'not terribly useful' feature phone, to an iPod Touch with a bunch of options disabled (note: is not actually a PHONE), and wander into less secure territory from there.
"It's a security first-principles dilemma: the most secure device is likely to be the least useful to the average person."
Making a good smartphone choice could be the difference between being hacked and keeping your data safe.

So is this dude Steve Mnuchin MAYBE YOU HAVE HEARD OF HIM ALSO.
I suggest a thorough investigation and also reducing the number of white motherfuckers named Steve in your Cabinet by 100%
I've said it before, and I'll say it the rest of my life: I will probably look back at Hamilton as the greatest piece of art created in my lifetime.
And this song, performed during a private concert at the White House, is one of my favorites within the show.
Information such as your Web browsing history, your geolocation logs and even the content of your emails offer service providers a rich source of potential advertising revenue. That data, along with your health and financial information, can also be sold to marketers and data brokers interested in building a profile of you as a consumer. The FCC's rules restricted Internet providers' ability to use and share this information, in what privacy advocates hailed as a historic victory.
But now the fate of those regulations lies in question as Republicans prepare to take control of the nation's top telecom watchdog. Consumer advocacy groups vowed Wednesday to oppose the cable industry's petition.

The industry argues the rules are illegal and unconstitutional.
This is the sort of headline people will look back on in thirty years and say "How very stupid people must have been, back then. How could they not have seen what was going on? Everything was so blatant, so obvious; those senators were acting like villains in really bad b-movie espionage scripts – the kind people poke holes in for being unrealistic."
I don't think it's stupidity. I think it's optimism.
I think it's a misplaced faith in the good of elected leadership (and, come to that, people); a too-strong conviction of "Surely not now, surely not here, when we've come so very far."
This is happening. Yes, now. Yes, here.
House Republicans have gutted an independent ethics watchdog, putting it under their own control, in a secret ballot hours before the new Congress convened for the first time.
The unheralded vote severely weakens the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), which was set up after a lobbying scandal in 2008 to investigate corruption allegations against members of Congress. The move, led by the head of the House judiciary committee, defied the Republican congressional leadership and was reportedly supported by several legislators currently under OCE scrutiny.
This is not “news”, but it must still be noted, every time, in part because they base their decisions on those same lies.
President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team was dismissive of the CIA in a response to a Washington Post report that the agency had found in a secret assessment that Russian actors sought to boost Trump in the election.
“These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction,” read the statement. “The election ended a long time ago in one of the biggest Electoral College victories in history. It’s now time to move on and ‘Make America Great Again.'”
Okay, you swarmy, smarmy fuckers: let’s break this down, because literally everything you said is a lie, and I’m in a bad mood.
Also, if you read their statement (that single paragraph is literally the entire response to a foreign state successfully acting to alter our country’s presidential election) you’ll notice they don’t even claim the report is false — it’s that is doesn’t matter.
And the best part: One of the people who actually did claim Iraq had WMDs was John Bolton, then the Under-Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security.
Trump’s team is considering Bolton for Deputy Secretary of State, serving directly behind an Exxon exec with ties to Russia so flagrant even Republicans are shaking their heads.
So:
Top. Notch. Thinking.
