They open the ~~gate~~ slot to SIM-Cardageddon.

A mandatory software update.

You must be quintuple responsible!

Oh I 100% have one, if not several. I just don't know the location of a single one.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 6 months ago

I've been searching for a lost vape for about five days. Our place isn't even that big and it's pretty clean because my partner won't stand for the sort of sloppiness that I get up to when no one polices me. And the vape is a hell of a lot larger.

Same, do we win something?

[–] oleorun@real.lemmy.fan 19 points 6 months ago

Paperclip, bent staple, pushpin, breadboard wire, toothpick, 3D printer nozzle cleaner, 0000-sized cross head screwdriver, and stripped twist tie are all no match for the glorious sim tool.

[–] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I used to keep one on my keyring.

I finally took it off after the 4th time I had to pull it out of my thigh.

Do we have to know where it is?

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 11 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (3 children)

I don't need that. My sim is accessible by removing the back cover and battery.

Dozens of Archeology PhD theses will be written about these a thousand years from now.

[–] neo@feddit.de 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Impossible! We can't even find these things now. How will they ever find them in a thousand years from now?

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

One fell out of my dryer today.

I haven’t used one in over a year. Quite perplexing.

Hah, that's why I bought a little treasure chest that I have on my desk. I keep magic stuff there like usb keys, a lighter, these things (whatever they are called? Sim card pins?), anything that is small and infrequently used.

I used a needle. But uhm... It was the microphone hole.

I wonder where that puts me on the responsibility spectrum.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 6 months ago

Oh, of course I still have it

[–] halvar@lemm.ee 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I have one on my keychain, which is sometimes a huge pain in the thigh, the hand or the fabric of the jeans, but it's worth it, because I use it like, every six months.

[–] myusernameis@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I did that, until one day I was digging my keys out of a pocket and the prong ended embedded deep under my fingernail. Never again.

[–] Czarb@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Broke my phone last week. Had mine on my keychain when the tech couldn't find his quick enough.

[–] Zidane@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Also keep mine on my keys... Well used to before children ripped it off... Need to get a new one

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 6 months ago

I just have an iFixit kit with a SIM ejector head included.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

LOL, no I'm not. I'm just bad at getting rid of stuff.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago (3 children)

These things suck and are too tiny to store anywhere useful. A small paper clip works the same and stores much better.

[–] jenny_ball@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (2 children)
[–] Glowstick@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You must be using thick paperclips. All the ones I've used have all worked fine. Paperclips come in a wide range of thicknesses.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Careful - this is how you get AI.

Agree totally. There's no point in holding on to a special-purpose object that can have its function performed by other very common objects. The smart thing to do is throw it away immediately after the phone's return window ends.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 5 points 6 months ago

I keep mine in the phone case with a $20 for emergencies.

[–] nexussapphire@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago

I got mine! Let me dig though my pile of empty boxes in a room I haven't organized since I moved here like a year ago!

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I keep all useful tools. Even those crappy Allen wrench screwdrivers that come with cheap furniture.

I've met so many people who don't own a single tool, and I always try to give them my extras I've been collecting.

[–] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

Pro tip, I duct tape all the tools under whatever piece of furniture it came with. Just in case I ever need to tighten anything or whatever. I do have a tool kit with everything now but that wasn't always the case.

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I have one as a screwdriver bit so I just toss them in a bin of misc metal bits.

I cut a slit into the foam of my ifixit kit and stuck it in there.

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

But doesn’t the ifixit kit have a sim extractor bit?

[–] ray@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

I don't have one. Not because I had one and lost it, but because the phone I'm using was made before these existed.

[–] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

That's a strange looking paper clip.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 months ago

I have at least 2 that I know where they are.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

It's on my keyring

[–] teft@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Why would I keep track of something that can be replaced by a paper clip that costs a penny?

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 months ago

I still use one from the first phone I had which needed this crap. So I have 3 of them in total. Actually, 4, I've got one extra in a screwdriver set.
