A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
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.
This is the main reason I buy paperclips. I've got some of these around but I'm not sure where.
The ifixit toolkit has it - well with a hex shank.
But the last time i actually opened that hatch, i had to split a sliver off a wooden stick (coffee stirrer).
I have dumped like 30 of them into trash recently because I tend to sometimes replace/repair phone parts for people and if you buy a replacement part it comes with this thing.
I have multiple. I keep the phone boxes after I buy a phone. I probably still have them for 3 or even all my 4 smartphones that I've owned over the years.
I do have one but it is because I'm lazy and dont go through my shit. I am not responsible.
I just tossed several. I have used them rarely but kept up with every one ever
Mine is in my case with adapters & extra SD cards.
Where that case IS however, fuckin, no clue.
I have one... somewhere. Probably in a tiny box, mixed in with my random cables
I hate the random cable drawer, but I'm always pulling shit out of it cause I need something in there.
And that's why it can never go away. I keep mine in a box in a closet, but it's accessed multiple times a year. Hell, I just broke it out the other day for a VGA cable
Have one in my wallet, I change simcards often though, basically each new country.
I used to have it between my phone and phone case, but I gave it away to a family member in need as I have something better.
You know those tiny factory default buttons on various hardware? I have a homemade tool in my work backpack specifically for that - The thickest syringe needle my local pharmacy had in store, and I cut the end off. The protective sleeve made it fit perfectly in a pen holder in my work backpack.
It's good to finally get some recognition!
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.
They can but I don’t believe the average burner phone user would even know how.
I’m no expert but you would need to flash the firmware for the baseband modem. But then you would need a valid IMEI and then what happens with network collisions if it’s already on the network.
How do you verify you’re actually broadcasting the spoofed IMEI without some hardware to intercept the signals being sent out.
Just seems like a lot of effort when you can just use burner phones and not run the risk. With OPSec you only need to screw up once.
I have a bunch of them.
I have one with a big duct tape flag/handle. Stays in the phone kit with spudgers, tiny screwdrivers, etc.
i'm just old and still have all the boxes all my phones came in. anyone need a poker for a blackberry curve?
smug look of superiority
Ah Fairphone 5 life
Same here, Sony Xperia
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 one in my wallet - they are quite handy for cleaning lint out when the phone charging port inevitably collects enough to be annoying.
I have a draw with a box full of Luke 50 of these
Just replaced my phone so I know exactly where one is. I'm on eSIM tho, so doesn't really matter.
I have about 8 of those. I'm a fucking packrat
If you need any spares, let me know.
Two. I know exactly where they are.
Nope. I got a pack of Resetamatron 3000s off Amazon to take up space in my junk drawer.
Resetamatron, hahaha.
I clicked... Dammit I didn't know I needed these.
I have like 3 😅 and I don't even need them cause my ifixit kit has one that's a screwdriver bit but I don't wanna throw them away lol
I have it. I just don't know where it is.
I just put it back in the box when I'm done
I have a stack of boxes in the closet, because I might need them someday
Yupppp; same here.
I think the Librem 5 (may've been another phone) came with a hole to attach to a keychain so it's the only one that I constantly have on me solely because someone thought to design for it.
You can buy screw drivers with a zillion different "proprietary" bits for driving whatever thing. This is one of them.
I usually have one, but right now I have a paper clip with one side folded out 90° sitting in my wallet.
I have 3 lying around somewhere. Comes in handy every few years
What if I have three sitting on my desk right now?
You could make a cool little Mitsubishi-like symbol/design with them
I open so many tablets and shit at my work I have preferences on form. Samsung has the worst ones.
I have a whole key ring of these.
I have one in my tech pouch
