@matigo We’ll ignore the fact AV alone probably won’t stop you from catching WannaCry. That said the fact they’ve limited admin rights will help tremendously.
@matigo who knows. My allergies in general have been mildly worse this year. This is the first time in a while where they flared up to the point I went scrambling for the Benadryl.
I either have a cold or bad allergies. Can't tell which, but I'm miserable all the same.
@matigo I wonder what it's actually doing. Probably a whole lot of nothing…

@kdfrawg I feel only marginally better that I work for a company that has found more than half of the zero-day malware in Android last year… and I can deploy their stuff on my handsets.
Obviously it's no guarantees, but it's not like I'm flying completely blind and unprotected either, which the average person surely is. :P
@matigo My TRS-80 Model MC-10 (Tandy's version of the Vic 20 or the Timex Sinclair or whatever) had 4k and then my Dad got the 16k memory expansion for it. :P
@kdfrawg I don't trust Android security, which is why I don't do anything particularly important on these phones. That said, they might be more cost-effective than buying a new iPhone every two years.
@kdfrawg At least the errors are not of the kindergarten variety, meaning it takes some effort to exploit them. By not using the browser plugin, I've reduced the attack surface substantially.

Trying another $30 Android device, this time the Kyocera Hydro View. Feels solid (waterproof even) but it’s only got a gig of RAM and runs Android 5.0 slowly.
