Check out KolibriOS. It’s a tiny modern operating system written in assembly.

So you can easily change it? If so that’s fine then.

input the IMEI to an online activation

Why though? This sounds like a big stupidity. The advantage of physical SIM is that I can easily move it to another device when my phone breaks, and the carrier still sees the IMEI anyway.

something like 50p a Mb, yes Mb not Gb

Well, well, well. Let’s look at my carrier.

Within EU: €0.014/MB
Within Europe outside EU + US and Canada: €2/MB. That’s £1.66 per Megabyte.
North America (excl. US and Canada), South America, Middle East, Asia and africa: €3/MB. That’s £2.49 per Megabyte.
Brace yourself…
Tunisia, Lebanon and Satellite networks (I think that includes ships and planes): €16/MB. That’s £13.29 per motherfucking Megabyte.

Yep, but I am a long time customer. They had a €2/month off offer, and that’s still valid for me. But it only means €2 cheaper. When it got raised from 14 to 15, mine was raised from 12 to 13.

The offer is called “NAJVIAC”.

The single issue I have is that some services do not consider Google voice number a legit line

You can probably just get any cheapest prepaid SIM for that purpose.

That’s even more expensive than Czech republic.

Which is what got me to ask this. I can’t find anything near what I have there. The closest seems to be Kaktus at similar price, with 10GB (rather than my current 300GB for that price), then 2Mb/s Unlimited. Also 100 minutes or SMS, but still…
Then there’s O2 which for similar price offers 3GB if you’re up to 26… How generous.
13 EUR is around 19CAD or 330Kč.

Unlimited data with O2 for 1 line would be around 80 CAD checking T-Mobile and O2.

Quickly checking my carrier’s site, similar to what you have (2 lines, unlimited data, SMS and calls) would cost 34 EUR per month. That’s around 50 CAD…

Wow. That’s cheap.

May not even be much faster anyway.

I have 4G phone, my dad has a 5G phone. I asked if I could check the network speed. 45Mbps on 4G, 50Mbps on 5G. Meh. And the more people move to 5G the slower it will get, and the faster the 4G gets. I’ve seen this with 3G before shutdown, it was by far faster than overloaded 4G.

I use north of 12GB/mo so no limited plan is going to cut it for me.

That’s not even so much, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised about the US. Especially after I’ve seen crap like Unlimited data + 5GB hotspot. Excuse me, that is clearly a limit.

For reference, I’ve used 225GB on my data this month, but it’s my only connection.

I’d recommend getting a WiFi router with 4G/5G modem if you find yourself in that situation again.

Keep in mind AUD is 0.51 GBP.

But yeah, still a lot.

Is it actually unlimited or some slow down after x amount?

Maybe a typo. I usually just hold down shift for shorter acronyms rather than use CapsLock. But sometimes my muscle memory screws up and I press down the shift separate per letter. Probably a habit from phone keyboard (sticky shift key).

What combination is that…

But to answer your question, the most pleasant would probably be the quickest. Maybe shotgun to the head. Best if I didn’t even expect it and didn’t know it was going to happen, just suddenly no consciousness during any normal activity, all of the person erased, nothing, but that’s obviously impossible (to be euthanasia).

No.

Kids are playful, video games are yet another way to play, possibly with friends even while at home.
Moderation is something for the parents to take care of.

I mean there are kids just waste their time on video games and not do any of their school assignments.

It’s just funny to me, “school” is the argument I always hear is something kids should be doing more, almost during all of their free time. It’s not like you can just sleep, study, eat, sleep, study, eat, study, eat, (yes, I purposely left that out).
And anyway, they already spend like 6 - 8 hours a day at school. Sounds like an average work day already.

Looking at my usage, especially last Sunday, yeah.

Yes, I know, I tried both Firefox and Vivaldi, both had some things I quite didn’t like, I keep trying them like every 3 months.
Sorry, I can’t name them, I keep forgetting the specific issues.

I’ll get killed here.

Opera. Works pretty well with always on desktop mode (scaling) and has a nice UI. I also occasionally use the built-in VPN to bypass my DNS blocking quickly.

My opinion is no. They can then use it to buy drugs or alcohol, which is unfortunately likely.

Maybe you could donate to some homeless shelter?
Or maybe, you could try asking if you could buy them some food instead.
