Yeah that is the parents fault kids wouldn't be so demanding if they didn't give them so much crap.
My daughters (5 & 7) both have an iPhone 5. Though only because we upgraded to the 6.
My daughter also have their usage restricted though.
Mine are four and six and I'm ready to get one for the older girl and my wife's family is calling people who give phones before kids are teens crazy. But they are for safety, convenience in talking to us, etc. I'm ready to give her the 5s as soon as I get a new phone, which is still many months away, but still.

The boys (8, twins are 4) all have an iPod and and iPad Mini. sometime it is nice to leave them with them, as they are quiet,.. but of late it's all YouTube Videos.
I need to look at what I can to to filter content on 6 devices so they don't get content not rated for their ages.

Built an ELK setup last night, Kibana 4 for a super slick modern interface.

Could you build me one right quick too? My fortigates are getting very chatty.

I'm usually good with choosing phones I like.. Nope worst phone I've ever had. The Amazon Fire Phone is a piece of junk. Haven't even had it but, a few hours.
-
Is it that bad?
What's the problems just slow or what?
-
@thecreativeone91 oh no

It's not slow, it's decent hardware they just ruined it with their custom FireOS android skin that sucks. your icons on the home screen change every time you open an app because it the recently used apps. Everything is in odd places. There is an update to fix some issues, however the wifi will not turn on in mine, and you can't download updates unless you are on wifi so, yeah.

Can't turn Wifi on? Sounds like a bad phone to me. Time for a refund!

Yeah, too bad I kinda need one. So my plan is either to see if amazon will do a store credit and let me return after I'd get me a new phone via prime on Monday or just charge it to my CC and wait for the new one to come in to return this one. Even the amazon cases do not fit right, I have to leave the corner of it off or it will push the power button the whole time and cause the phone to non-stop reboot. Amazon just isn't good at phones I guess.

$320 for an unlocked Nexus 5 on amazon. I stay under $200 with phones.

Just tested OpenVPN Access Server with remote RADIUS server for @Joy's colleague. It was an interesting project and thinking of updating my blog with that post
-
It's weird to me that a lot of phones cost more than full computer, (I see many phones are $500-$800). and Tablets are also now a lot cheaper than phones. I wonder if this is actual costs or just up charging because they can?
-
@thecreativeone91 That's probably some of it, lol.

Placed an Saturday delivery order with Amazon for the Asus Zen Phone 2 and a Nano sim to Micro Sim adapter.
Got tests I have to take for work on Monday. I didn't realize when they said they were big on personal continued development they actually meant it. Tests are suppose to help decide which training and conference would be best to send me to through out the year. We've already determined Spiceworld is out of the question, mean mostly for SMBs and is more marketing than anything to offer us more enterprise knowledge.
