I.E. have I completely stopped doing any type of banking on a device that isn’t running a completely locked down iOS or Android.

In my case, I never do any financial transactions (including Google Pay) on my phone. The way I’ve got it configured, my Linux laptop is much more secure and auditable. If someone gets access to my phone, even when it’s logged in, the blast radius is small.

I’d just like a nice laser naginata, and never mind the horse.

I’m surprised you didn’t also mention ostriches and really fast snails.

I’m off to work out the engineering for a millipede-kielbasa robo-hybrid.

I want a cyborg horse that can be ridden like a quad bike.

Google now is like IBM in the 1980s: it has a great future behind it.

That’s only a partial saying. The whole is “you can’t butter a fly, but you can make a bi flutter.”

It did what any human would do

I’m a human and my response would be “I have no idea what the hell that means. Must be of Southern origin.”

It’s not a hard requirement, but it’s sure nice to leave the house at a low but non-freezing temp in winter while you’re away for a few days, then use a web app to bring the temperature back up right before you come back in.

Being on the home LAN, though, is a requirement for me. That is extremely convenient.
