I guess this guy hasn’t heard about the Purism Librem phone? I.e., the phone that actually does this function already? And the folks at Purism would be the first to explain that developing a new phone from scratch is a non-trivial project.

Life is art! I can’t decide if this guy is begging for a SNL skit with guest Chris Hemsworth playing him, or if he wants a gig on SNL so he can spoof Chris Hemsworth.

Earlier this week, someone posted asking for suggestions for how to sell an outdated cell to wingnuts for $500. I’m not digging through my comments to find it. But my suggestion was to tell them it was the last model cell that could thwart the new Big Brother softwares, and call it a ‘Patriot Phone’. Was the poster referring to this very thing in the article, or should I be demanding a 10% share for marketing concepts?
