 i only have a smart phone because of xapo bank and in general banks are not doing web based apps these days... i'm sure it's on instructions from their shadowy banker cult leaders

but xapo hiked the annual fee a lot so early next year i'm bailing on them, and probably will start using my thumb-sized mini super dumb phone (no features at all, just voice and sms and damned tiny) and probably go through the rigmerole of registering address and opening bank account and such

i wish i could just put my smart phone in a chipper and forget about it but probably in 6 months time some other bullshit will force me to not shred it into tiny pieces

fuck smart phones

every time they "improve" things what they really improve is how well it spies on you

i get very tired of this thing turning on its light at the slightest sound or vibration around it
