a tech illiterate old friend of mine in his 60s got tasked with changing his simcard for new one. But the network just didn't appear. Long story short after 3 hrs of headbashing I asked him to send me the photo of simcard itself

that was a valuable afternoon for my humility

nano-simcard rotated 90 degrees forcefully inserted into standard size simcard frame which is missing micro size simcard frame

note the right side of simcard frame bulging out

for confused in terminology

I used to work at a phone repair shop. The amount of people that put Sim cards in their brand new phone without the tray. We would have to take the phones apart to get their Sim cards out.

And when it doesn't work, they ram it HARDER

and then people wonder how porn stereotypes can be harmful

I'm literally scared of disassembling stuff over like plastic clips while people just feel ok with ramming stuff in like that wha

Isn't the "standard" sim card in you pic actually mini-sim? While the standard one is credit card-sized? I think I have a phone somewhere that takes a credit card sized sim actually.

To be fair, most people here probably have a mini SIM as their first SIM card.
