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

A mandatory software update.

I hereby grant you the title of King Responsible.

[-] Deconceptualist@reddthat.com 2 points 6 months ago

Thanks! My mom will be so proud. And then probably ask what took so long and why the rest of my life isn't so well in order.

You should probably just take my kids. School drop off is at 9. They don't eat fucking anything. Best of luck.

[-] Zoop@beehaw.org 4 points 6 months ago

You must be quintuple responsible!

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

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?

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 13 points 6 months ago

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?

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 10 points 6 months ago

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.

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

[-] neo@feddit.de 11 points 6 months ago

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

[-] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

One fell out of my dryer today.

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

[-] TechNerdWizard42@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Similar useless everyday objects sitting in a museum today from less time ago that we pay money to stare at. Heck there's a Walkman in a museum...

[-] halvar@lemm.ee 8 points 6 months ago

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

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

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

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

[-] xilliah@beehaw.org 7 points 6 months ago

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

I wonder where that puts me on the responsibility spectrum.

[-] HEXN3T 7 points 6 months ago

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

[-] 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!

[-] colourlesspony@pawb.social 5 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Arbiter@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

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

[-] sawdustprophet@midwest.social 2 points 6 months ago

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

Yes, it does.

[-] ech@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago

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 6 points 6 months ago
[-] Glowstick@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

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

Careful - this is how you get AI.

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

[-] Glowstick@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago

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

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

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

[-] feedmecontent@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

How is it responsible to waste your life taking steps to keep track of worthless little objects of that size? If you need a thin poker use one of the many every day objects that takes the form of or includes a thin poker.

[-] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I don't really see how tossing a thing that you might need later in a drawer and then remembering where it is counts as wasting your life.

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.

[-] ray@sh.itjust.works 2 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.
