It's good to finally get some recognition!
it's within my phone's protection case, so i do have it right now. Also, anecdote, a random stranger on a bus was switching sim cards, and asked me if I have the tool, which I indeed I had!
I open so many tablets and shit at my work I have preferences on form. Samsung has the worst ones.
I found a pencil holder I had in the 1990s. It has these little drawers for erasers and stuff. I was like "oh cool, I can fill the rest of these with my SD cards and USB sticks."
So, while cleaning my desk looking for those, I found one of these. I was like "I'm pretty sure I had at least 2 of these." ...I found three.
How about just messy? Occasionally I still find them laying around
I keep it in my keychain, save the back up ones in the junk drawer.
OP!!! RIGHT HERE!!!! I FOUND THE RESPONSIBLE AF PERSON!!!!
Just keep it in the box the phone came in with all the warranty documentation. I've never lost one of these
I have one in my wallet - they are quite handy for cleaning lint out when the phone charging port inevitably collects enough to be annoying.
I keep one on my key ring, never know when you need to pop in a burner sim.
If you’re using a burner SIM in your regular phone then it’s not really a burner SIM.
Fine if you’re just using it to hide your phone number companies, but if you’re hiding from the authorities then it’s the devices IMEI which is going to sell you out I’m afraid.
IMEI's can be changed. (Which is highly illegal in many jurisdictions) It's not really worth the effort, I use it for when i need a new phone number for something and don't want it immediately tied to me commercially. If hiding from the authorities, don't use unencrypted comms.
I need them for work so I got a fancy keychain one
Question: Is using paperclips a worse alternative? I've found them useful for those sim pinholes but im not entirely sure if its good practice
Paperclips are just fine, they're just not as ergonomic / easy to hold while pushing
I threw all of those away. I have paper clips, and those eject holes are intentionally designed to be the width of a bent paper clip.
Those things are just a less useful paper clip.
They're easier to use, but a monotasker, so yea, gimme a paperclip
I have the ifixit screwdriver kit and one of the bits is a Sim card ejector. Does it count ?
smug look of superiority
Ah Fairphone 5 life
Same here, Sony Xperia
or a hoarder
I still have my first smartphone. It's from 2011 and the screen is undamaged.
I also still have the extra plugs for the in-ear headphones that came with it.
ok sorry, right this way sir ==>
Yes, I keep them in the box.
I have about 8 of those. I'm a fucking packrat
If you need any spares, let me know.
Like seven a drawer somewhere. I don't know where though
I have three downstairs in the garage, now the real question is... Where in the garage tho.
I have one... somewhere. Probably in a tiny box, mixed in with my random cables
I still have like eight of those. I bought some smart devices a while ago that all had them for the reset hole, so I’m stocked up for life.
I have 3 lying around somewhere. Comes in handy every few years
You only need it when setting up a new phone. So once you put the card in, you put the tool back in the phone’s box and just stick that in a closet.
So I’m asking… how CAN you even misplace one of those?
on my keychain with a set of handcuff keys and some earplugs lol
You sound fun.
I can confirm that this is false
Oh I for sure still have at least 10. But finding them when I need them is a whole other story
I have one in my tech pouch
I have more than one. The key is the word somewhere.
I have one with a big duct tape flag/handle. Stays in the phone kit with spudgers, tiny screwdrivers, etc.
