This is intended to be humor. Don't take it too literally. eating-uncooked-instant-noodles-straight-from-the-packet My sons learned that from me. I began doing it during my second pregnancy when even saltine crackers were not plain enough for my level of nausea. Yes, it's mind bogglingly messy.

Has anyone tried the user interface of a burner phone? Recently I tried exchanging numbers with a friend who has a burner phone - a replacement for a lost phone. Yes, good luck with dialling a number or storing a number in the contacts. Even sending a text is a trial of user experience, an intelligence test akin to solving a Rubik's Cube. So it is good to see that a 12 year old can work out some of these functions. I…
I think your definition of a burner phone is different than what the article describes. It's not supposed to have much in the way of navigation/UI. To place a call it should be just unlock it, open it (for flip kind), press the numbers and then press the green button :) I bought one for my 8 yod, unknown brand "Plum" and works great, battery lasts like a week. In my case, I got it for emergencies.
A burner phone is Any phone that you can pay cash for and buy air time on it with prepaid air time cards (also for cash). Therefore No One knows who owns it.

If you've never heard "burner phone" before, you probably haven't watched Breaking Bad, which was an American cultural touch-stone she mentioned, and an excellent show you'll likely enjoy (and I envy you being able to binge watch it now, instead of waiting week after week for the next episode): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_Bad And then there's the "Breaking Phones" spin-off we really all wanted to see: http…
The Wire introduced (actually, misunderstood and propagated the misunderstanding of) the term.
Doesn't he know there are parental control apps? (Although my 10 year old figured out how to bypass those in a matter of days each time I closed the previous bypass-hole... and that was using a rooted OS I could SSH into. So maybe not so effective.)
Using parental controls is a great way to get kids to become hackers and learn to break said parental controls.
Parental controls are baked into the OS network stack with a locked bootloader.

I carry the new Nokia 3310 and very happy with it. Took a few weeks to relearn how to type a text but I'm fast enough now. (Though keep messages short) Then best part about the phone is that I'm not tempted to pull it out of my pocket and check social media or browse the web every minute of the day. It's also one of the smallest phones on the market, fits in the hand and pocket much better than every other phone. I a…
I don't even have a mobile phone as I enjoy the freedom from the thought that all this technology has created a 1984 style panopticon. Have I had an emergency when I needed a phone? I haven't had an emergency, Project Fear can take a run and jump. Do I need one to converse with friends? I don't have any friends, the only people who get in touch are those that want something from me. Users.
I would like to try a dumbphone for a while but no one here uses phone calls and SMS anymore, they have all shifted to Whatsapp and sometimes Instagram, so that's a bummer.
I do talk to less people overall though since pretty much everyone (especially young people) uses WhatsApp or Snapchat as their primary communication medium.

I deleted my WhatsApp account a while ago. Luckily I have some supportive friends who still talk to me and forward important info (a lot of mandatory school info is distributed via WhatsApp) to me via SMS, email and phone calls.

Interesting. Misunderstood in what way? The definition used in The Wire is the only one I've heard.
The Wire promulgated the phone meaning of burner AFAIK. It may have been misunderstood by the police (Ed Burns was a police officer) or it may have been by analogy.
(I learned this from articles over a decade ago, very hard to pin down now that the phone meaning is widespread.)
