All the same applies if your phone is stolen…or lost…or seized at the airport.

Devices need to be considered disposable. Expensive but disposable.

Okay but I try to prevent any of those things from happening, unlike the suggestion to use your phone with a high rate of failure until it dies.

		My philosophy is based on anti-jinxing. If you say “I sure hope I don’t lose my phone,” you will surely lose your phone and soon. That’s how jinxing works. But if you can say “I don’t care if I lose my phone,” you will not lose your phone. Because the anti-jinx knows you won’t be unduly annoyed and therefore prevents it from happening.
