Hey guys, I just bought an HTC One (M7) for a temp replacement and just noticed that it has a micro sim and not a nano sim.. My current phone has a nano sim in it (Has a micro sim slot, Ghetto mounted under the metal part to keep it from moving but works) could I maybe put the sim card in place on the tray and then use a piece of tape on the top to keep it from moving? I heard I could but was just wondering since in theory it should work...

stop. stop. stop. 

 

just go to best buy or your local phone store and get an adapter slot tool.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Yeah I ordered one and it should be here soon but my old phone just doesn't charge anymore and I need a way to use it and I don't have a best buy around...

I used the punch-out from another nano sim card as an adapter, works great.

*Risky click of the day*
