Summary

The author recounts a personal anecdote about a photo of her potential lover inadvertently appearing on her Google Smart Display, revealing her extramarital interest to her family.

Abstract

The author shares a personal story about the unexpected consequences of technology on her private life. She has been engaging with a man she refers to as her "fifty-something Black God," with whom she has been flirting and considering a romantic relationship. Despite the excitement of this potential affair, the author has been struggling with writer's block and the distraction of her narcissistic husband. She previously wrote about the challenges of maintaining privacy in an affair, including a close call with a credit card charge from a day hotel. Her latest mishap occurred when a photo of her potential lover, saved on her phone, was automatically uploaded to Google Photos and displayed on her kitchen's Lenovo Smart Display. This led to an awkward moment when her 12-year-old child inquired about the man in the photo. The author emphasizes the need to improve her operational security (OPSEC) to prevent future privacy breaches.

That Time My Potential Lover’s Picture Landed on My Google Display

Beware of technology, folks

I’ve been getting to know this handsome fifty-something Black God for a while now. Yes, the same guy that I referred to in my “Can I, Baby” post about becoming his toy a few weeks ago. While he has my panties in a puddle most of the time, my writing has been experiencing a dry spell. My narcissistic husband is not helping the situation. I’m trying to get back at it, guys. I’m trying real hard, no pun intended. I love making you hard or wet and I want to do more of that. I will, I promise. 😉

Anyhow, in another recent article, I detailed how I, a rookie cheater, made the huge mistake of assuming Hotels By Day would ensure my privacy when charging my credit card, and how that almost landed me in hot water.

Welp, I did it again!

I made another mistake that could have been disastrous — I saved a photo of my Black God to my phone’s camera roll.

That in itself is not a big deal. I’m the only one with access to my phone. It has face recognition and a password. But here’s the problem: my Google Photos, to which my iPhone automatically uploads, is linked to my kitchen Lenovo Smart Display.

And there he was, looking at us, in all his glory. THANK GOD it wasn’t a naked picture!

“Mom, who’s that,” asked my 12 year old over lunch. “I have no clue,” I answered. I picked my phone up and discretely opened the Smart Display settings. Looks like random pictures of nature, cities and landscapes will temporarily adorn my photo frame until I figure this shit out!

And I seriously need to up my OPSEC!
