  • I think what you described is pretty much what happened only difference being I was not using the wire cutters.

    I have taken good care of the cutters and only cut thinner wires with it.

    Nevertheless this time I was in a bit tight place trying to bend the screw back and forth a few times and I think the snappening happened in a similar manner as you described: later movement of the pliers.

    I know deep down that it was a user error and it adds to the disappointment.


  • A screw was protruding into a hole I did not want it to protrude.

    It was an M5 A2 stainless steel screw and they usually snap easily. When bent a few times with pliers.

    Done it before, have the t-shirt. This time leatherman lost.

    I know I was reckless and alas with a pair of sturdier pliers I achieved my goal.









  • After nokia N9 I got the Jolla phone. Then the Jolla C. Eventually as Jolla was struggling at the time my work e-mails did not work etc.

    I had to make a choice between pest and cholera.

    I chose apple as it was more privacy oriented at least in talks.

    But if that “promise” flies also out of window…then what?

    Does a phone that one can truly own and also works in corporate setting (sideload intune in a separate container) exists? Something that works with as litlle as possible tuning to make it work? Something that our IT department approves? Banking apps need to work.

    I’m open for suggestions nevertheless I feel like we are prisoners in some sense.

    I used to have a separate work phone but carrying two phones all the time got annoying after a couple of years.
