There's always the trusty toothpick

[–] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

What kind of toothpick are you using? Most I have seen are way to fat or are to flexible.

I am not responsible for most of the random stuff I own, but at least for that thing I found a good place. I keep it between the back of my phone and my phone case. I have to remove the case anyway to access the slot, and then it is just right there available.

I've always just kept it in my case, against the back of my phone.

I have many of them. At least 4.

Paper clip is better, these things are very flimsy, but also phones and Tablets don't always come with them.

I have plenty around the house. When I needed it, I still had to find something else to use because I had no idea where this was.

We have a whole keyring full of them at work

[–] kungen@feddit.nu 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I assume you just leave the keyring on your desk/in some drawer? I had handcuff keys on my normal ring and the pointy thing on the keys (for double-locking) made holes in my jeans, so you'd be crazy to go around with those for opening SIMs in your pocket.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

This is why us millennials keep our phone boxes

[–] Chev@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I keep mine in my phone case.

I store mine between my phone and phone case.

All that weight you need to carry over time

[–] Squid@lemmings.world 5 points 1 year ago

I never kept mine and used a needle instead

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Mine are all still in their boxes which I still save for no reason as I never ever will use them. Whenever I need a pin, I can't find a single box, but the boxes are always in the way when I try to find something else. It's a weird world we live in.

I got a Sony Xperia III last month. You can use a fingernail with it since the tray also holds your SD card

Clip gang unite!

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It sits next to a random quarter i was given as change (im from the uk and it was given in place of a similar looking uk coin) a silver 1 pence coin (apparently they are rare and worth about £60 but as if my lazy arse is gon a sell it (and who actually buys these things anyway?) Some guitar picks and a franc (defunct french currency)

I have at least 6 in my office right now, and another 2 or 3 around my house, and one in my truck...

I will not be taking any questions at this point.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I keep mine in the same container with all my electronics screwdriver bits, seems like the sensible place for it to be

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

disorganized paperclip gang sound off!

[–] PlushySD@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I scotch-taped it on my desk, I'm looking at it right now...

[–] Ozymati@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 year ago

I have two of those. One's from my old phone.

I just use a needle or something similar

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have an entire kit for tinkering with phones, and this is one of the tools it includes.

Mother fucker. I have one of these that I've been playing with all week, swearing to GOD if I don't put that shit away it's gonna vanish.

I just put it away where it belongs so I don't lose it.
