I like my TVs and other appliances super-stupid...guess I need to send them to government schools to be sure....

I still use a 3G phone that my cell carrier ATT intends to replace this month with a new phone. They'll send it to me and activate it remotely. I'm sure they have my best interests in mind, for we all know the IOT puts a super high priority on freedom and privacy.

If I somehow thwart their plan they will still decommission my current phone next February. I especially like the part where they have full control over the new phone, and are able to activate it at will. Next time I'm in DC they can inform the PTB that a wrong-thinker is in town.
