True that, very understandable 👍

Well not with that attitude!

Nah though, for real, let’s not disrespect Woz like that.

Kathy. She used to work front desk at our computer/phone/tablet repair shop.

Sometimes our customers would buy a new phone and wanted their SIM card transferred over. Sometimes the new phone took a smaller size SIM card than their old one. No big deal, we had special cutout punch tools just for that. Should be simple enough right?

You just put the SIM card into either one or the other tool, depending on what size the card originally is and what size it needs to be cut to, press down on the handle, and out of the bottom pops out the cut card. The card only fits properly one way into the preformed tray divet for it, super simple to use, so what could possibly go wrong?

Well that dumb bitch couldn’t even comprehend the simplest concept of matching up the shapes, on many occasions she’d some fucking how end up cutting the card upside down or backwards, or both, thereby ruining the customer’s SIM card ☹️

And even when she managed to get it right, well unfortunately those punchout tools tended to leave light burrs on the edges, which could and indeed would damage the contacts inside the SIM slot and basically ruin the phone. Kathy was as dumb as a box of rocks and when she wasn’t playing on her own phone, she’d be filing her fingernails. Kathy, if you can hear me telepathically, USE YOUR FUCKING NAIL FILE TO KNOCK THE BURRS OFF THE EDGES!!!

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Also turns out that women likely don’t want AI studying and reporting the condition and contents, or lack thereof, of their uterus…

Cat Distribution System™, working as expected 😺

Well look at this fat cat here that can afford multiple milks…

Nah, for real, put the newest milk in the back, use up the oldest milk first.

Hard to say, but good curious question…

Yep, been there, tried that. I used to work as a mobile device hardware tech for over a decade, though I didn’t exactly get the opportunity to experiment with every device that came across my bench ya know…

Now that’s a legit idea!

I don’t exactly have spare devices to experiment with, but that’s an awesome idea 👍

My question/idea is to repurpose old devices for home use, even after the battery done went to shit…

Whatever devices that can function without a battery at all would be ideal. You know, something you can use at home to watch videos or whatever…

Nope, so far never seen one work that way, and both me and my roommate have phones with removable batteries, so of course I’ve tried, but no dice, they instantly shut off when power is plugged in but you remove the battery :(

Nah, more thinking towards repurposing old devices with bad batteries for around the house permanently plugged in, without any battery at all.

Not every device absolutely has to be portable, but sadly in all my years of tech, so far (to my knowledge), have I ever run across a mobile device that’ll function without a battery :(

Naw duh. You could probably replace 50 data centers with 12 jumping spider brains, those are some really intelligent critters…

Probably?

That’s not a curious question, that’s a thing you’re supposed to outright know about your bank.

Like fuck, did you store physical things such as gold rings, antique coins, lumps of gold, marriage license, etc in your safety deposit box?

You don’t get your physical things back from an online bank…

Maybe this is more of a personal opinion, but I don’t consider that a proper bank then, if they don’t have a physical brick and mortar office to conduct business with an actual human.

Proper banks do more than money transfers, they also notarize legal documents, which must be done in person. Plus they also offer safety deposit boxes.

That’s always been my preference, just go to the bank in person…

Wait, you have a SIM/eSIM? You bank through your phone?

Well there’s your two main problems right there, separate your banking from your mobile device altogether.

Use saltwater, that’ll work instantly…

They can apparently get into some mischief…

Not OP, but right after Hurricane Katrina, we rescued a young squirrel, not much bigger than the one in OP’s photo. We took care of it for about a week while people were busy cutting fallen trees and cleaning up debris, then we let the little fella go.

He came back damn near every day for about 6 months!
