bigkahuna1986 ( @bigkahuna1986@lemmy.ml ) 6•8 months agoYou’re still using the 4X? Lol, get yourself an 8Max and thank me later.

nonailsleft ( @nonailsleft@lemm.ee ) 3•8 months agoFor a Korean, the hole doesn’t need to be that big
leanleft ( @leanleft@lemmy.ml ) English2•5 months agois there a name for the superfine point ones?
bstix ( @bstix@feddit.dk ) English1•5 months agoI guess it’s called a SIM card eject pin tool, but you’ll usually find them in cell phone toolkits.
leanleft ( @leanleft@lemmy.ml ) English1•5 months agosome are thicker or thinner than others. some phones have a superthin hole. so some ejectors or a paperclip won’t work (for some phones).
maybe the superthin variety is the most common variety out there. but i have a collection and they are nearly all thick.
leanleft ( @leanleft@lemmy.ml ) English1•5 months agothere must be an everyday item that functions as a makeshift alternative.

lunachocken ( @Lunachocken@iusearchlinux.fyi ) 1•8 months agoI thought there was a hole in your hand I didn’t see the metal. I just saw straight through them. Wtf
JackbyDev ( @JackbyDev@programming.dev ) English1•8 months agoYou should put them all on a keyring!
Doctor xNo ( @doctorn@r.nf ) English11•8 months agoI have a lifehack for this:
Zerush ( @Zerush@lemmy.ml ) 9•8 months ago m-p{3} ( @mp3@lemmy.ca ) 9•8 months agoI do tech support, I always have one on my keychain.
frostycakes ( @frostycakes@lemmy.ml ) English5•8 months agoI used to keep one on my keys back when I worked at a carrier store selling phones. Made life so much easier then.
In fact, the actual inserted part broke off years ago (and I haven’t done phone sales in over a decade), but the main part of the body is actually still attached to my keyring. I haven’t even thought about that until this post, actually.

skqweezy ( @skqweezy@lemm.ee ) 2•8 months agoNgl that’s pretty smart to keep one on a keychain, better than keeping it in the original box
hdgdlfiuebdtus ( @hdgdlfiuebdtus@feddit.de ) 2•8 months agoI’ll adapt the keychain thing
taggart_mccallister ( @taggart_mccallister@lemm.ee ) English8•8 months agoI just bought a new phone and put it next to the other four I have.
flashgnash ( @flashgnash@lemm.ee ) 8•8 months agoYou’re either really good at holding onto those things, or really good at losing/breaking phones
Sloogs ( @Sloogs@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English7•8 months agoHow often are you dudes changing SIMs? I only ever do it when I get a new phone, and they always come with one.
Djtecha ( @Djtecha@lemm.ee ) 6•8 months agoJust tuck it into your phone case if you can. Easy solution to always have it when you need it.
flashgnash ( @flashgnash@lemm.ee ) 3•8 months agoAh yes, phone cases I definitely use those

lichtmetzger ( @lichtmetzger@feddit.de ) 6•8 months agoI have a screwdriver bit set that just includes one of those, very tightly secured. Whoever was responsible for ensuring this was neccessary: You are a hero.
0x2d ( @0x2d@lemmy.ml ) 6•8 months agoi usually grab a breadboard jumper wire and shove it in my sim card slot 😂
apotheotic(she/they) ( @apotheotic@beehaw.org ) English5•8 months agoI keep mine in the same container with all my electronics screwdriver bits, seems like the sensible place for it to be
WalrusDragonOnABike ( @WalrusDragonOnABike@kbin.social ) 2•8 months agoSame. The electronics screwdriver set also includes a SIM ejector bit, so its a bit redundant.
apotheotic(she/they) ( @apotheotic@beehaw.org ) English1•8 months agoIs it a bit redundant, or is it a redundant bit?
