What I found funny, was that every time I turned on my phone, it was telling me that I needed to have it plugged in to accept some “critical update” for the last month or so.
It can’t update without being plugged, for some reason.
So my phone has lived in the kitchen, in my purse, unplugged.
It stopped whining about the update so I reckon it gave up.
*No* idea how the auto update resurrected itself, unbidden.
It’s off again.
I find myself approaching my phone as if it’s a deadly ambush predator now, poking it with a stick, as it were, before I do anything with it.
The joys of cyber-slavery.
I miss my old Motorola Star-Tak.
It was indestructible and stupid.

The phone needs to be plugged into a charger because if an update / install was in process and you were running on the phone’s battery, there is the possibility of the battery running out half way thru the install which would render the phone inoperative.
Sounds like me feeding the snapping turtle.
Great image. And yeah, I get what you mean. Damn things are one step short of sentience.
I hear ya, I miss my old Motorola flip phone... this one makes me want to disable the mic for sure..

I miss my old Motorola V60s from around 2005. I loved it so much I couldn’t bear to get rid of it, so it lives in one of my drawers. I wonder if it’ll still connect ... I don’t think so.
