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

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 9 points 1 month ago

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.

not whether you have it – it’s whether you know where it is

[–] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 6 points 4 weeks ago

I usually flip it to justify excessive organization: “if you can’t find it when you need it, you don’t actually own it.”

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!

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

I open so many tablets and shit at my work I have preferences on form. Samsung has the worst ones.

[–] wazzupdog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I keep one on my key ring, never know when you need to pop in a burner sim.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] wazzupdog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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 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.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How about just messy? Occasionally I still find them laying around

[–] Avg@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I keep it in my keychain, save the back up ones in the junk drawer.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 6 points 1 month ago

OP!!! RIGHT HERE!!!! I FOUND THE RESPONSIBLE AF PERSON!!!!

[–] gnu@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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 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.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 7 points 1 month ago

They're easier to use, but a monotasker, so yea, gimme a paperclip

[–] crusty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

I need them for work so I got a fancy keychain one

My kit:

I generally prefer the clear toothpick - easier to hold, came with a designer cupcake once (and I keep the flag on it because it's otherwise easy to lose a clear toothpick), generally better if the button is deeply recessed.

The paperclip phone tool is kept on the keychain between the USB micro card reader and the wallet sized SD card holder

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

smug look of superiority

Ah Fairphone 5 life

[–] Benaaasaaas@group.lt 7 points 1 month ago

Same here, Sony Xperia

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 8 points 4 weeks ago

I have the ifixit screwdriver kit and one of the bits is a Sim card ejector. Does it count ?

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago (5 children)

Just keep it in the box the phone came in with all the warranty documentation. I've never lost one of these

"Looks like you lost your sim tray ejector"

I have one... somewhere. Probably in a tiny box, mixed in with my random cables

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.

[–] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Yes, I keep them in the box.

[–] nuko147@lemm.ee 7 points 4 weeks ago

I have the whole box. Because you know, it might be needed sometime :P

Like seven a drawer somewhere. I don't know where though

[–] Jeremyward@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I have three downstairs in the garage, now the real question is... Where in the garage tho.

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

I have 3 lying around somewhere. Comes in handy every few years

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] andybytes@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I got like 20 of these motherfuckers and one hanging around my neck.

Oh I for sure still have at least 10. But finding them when I need them is a whole other story

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 weeks ago

I can confirm that this is false

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 weeks ago

I have more than one. The key is the word somewhere.
