Annoying necessities

Last month it was time to get another phone. I held out for four years but Apple was offering trade in money and the battery was due for replacement. When the first iPods came out and owners found out they were pretty much throw away devices, (you couldn't replace the battery), everyone was outraged. Now we have similar devices that lose function because of obsolete, insecure software. Or they just stop working and can't be fixed. And no one is outraged. They just shrug and buy another one. I can't think of greater proof that we have become the mindless zombie apocalypse.
So, being a good little zombie, I am pleased that I finally got a red one and let me show off my new lock screen picture. It's Aneurin Barnard playing photographer David Bailey in an otherwise forgettable bio-pic.
