Let her go. Anyone that doesn't appreciate innovation like this will just slow you down on your path to greatness.

See also, using a slim Jim for your fingerprint unlock

Ah haaah, now it's just a key...

But then you take a bite in a moment of weakness, and you're locked out. :(

You can type with literally anything with a resistive touchscreentaps head

[โ€“] gens@programming.dev 4 points 3 days ago

[โ€“] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Jessie?

James?

I suddenly have an image of the people in this conversation...

Jessie: I've been thinking of dating other men

James: Me too!

[โ€“] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 3 points 3 days ago

(spotlights dramatically click on)

"Prepare 4-20!"

"And make 69 funny!"

[โ€“] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh yeah. Back home we used to call those a Spindly Jimothy.

[โ€“] HawlSera@lemm.ee 10 points 4 days ago

Who's taking the photo? Do people really have extra phones around just for moments like this?

[โ€“] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I carry 2 phones all the time. I work in government. If I use my phone for work, it becomes subject to Open Records requests, so the city gives me a stipend to pay for a second phone to do all my city business.

I worked at a different city that didn't do that for most employees, and everyone just used their personal phones anyway. We got an Open Records request that resulted in me having to search everyone's text message history. I felt dirty.

[โ€“] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So in that scenario, taking a picture like the OP would result in some raised eyebrows no matter which phone snapped the picture of which phone, it sounds like! XD

I have a separate phone for work. Not government or anything. I have a bunch of personal apps on it, but I don't like having my only phone be owned by my work.

[โ€“] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

They are making cameras now for kids without phones attached. Might be one of those.

[โ€“] authorinthedark@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

they also make cameras for adults without phones on them

That's ridiculous how would you even post the photos?

[โ€“] Elgenzay@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 days ago

I've never seen a kid without a phone attached

[โ€“] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

not this thread again

[โ€“] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

am I getting old? I got like 5 devices around that can take photos that are not a phone on account of before phones used to be able to do that you had devices for it

[โ€“] Rolder@reddthat.com 4 points 4 days ago

Hanging out with a friend or family and borrowing their phone, I would imagine

[โ€“] Aquilae@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

I for one don't throw away old/broken devices so long as they at least boot up

[โ€“] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

Well, more Slim Jims for the rest of us, then.
