@PINE64 Just got mine. Couple quick questions:1) Seems to have come preset with a pin. How do we find pin?2) Has some bubbles under glass. is there a way to remove those?

@PINE64 Why can't the software handle the cards being the other way around?

@evilroda You would not believe how many reports of it we've seen... I sure didn't 😳

@zwol @PINE64 I hope this is a joke, but just in case: Sim cards and SD cards are physically/electrically incompatible. The pins are in completely different places on each

@louispearson @PINE64 I Did Not Know That™. In fact, I thought the whole problem here was that they had exactly the same form factor and pinout, but the firmware could only handle the SIM card being in slot 0 for some reason.If they're not physically compatible, then it ought to be impossible to make the mistake OP is warning about, so I don't understand what's going on.

@zwol @PINE64 ah sorry. If somebody wasn't paying attention they might try shoving the cards into the wrong places? They are a similar size, but basically nothing else is the same

@louispearson @zwol *Many* people have managed to put the wrong card in a given slot, despite the labeling, and end up ripping the contacts (or whole connector) off the board trying to get it back out. 🤷♂️

@louispearson @zwol @PINE64 Old-school USB-B connectors (like on printers) fit in ethernet connectors, that doesn't make them work.Basically the same issue here. It's both rectangular holes

@PINE64 @louispearson I see. It's unfortunate that the connector isn't (can't be?) designed to prevent people making this mistake.

@PINE64 Finally a good picture. It took me some minutes to figure it out. Now I know. Of course, I wouldn't do any damage to the connectors, anyway.

Instead of captcha you should have some kind of quiz at checkout so that people cant order unless they can answer some basic technical questions like "Is this object designed for this hole?"Are You From The Past?

@PINE64 @louispearson @zwol I got my fist microSD card one or two weeks ago. Almost lost it immediately :]I needed to look very carefully to not do it wrong but I managed. I'm not used to fiddling with fingernail-sized cards and slots.The labeling is not great.It's a 5x5 mm pictogram of two slightly overlapping cards. One with "SIM" written on it, the other with "TF". What does "TF" even stand for, "The Fuck"?It sure doesn't mean microSD to me.You can see it here: https://wiki.pine64.org/images/6/62/PinePhone_battery3.jpeg

@martijnbraam I made the mistake once, but realized it when the phone booted its original distro vs the sd card. To be fair, black on black micro-print is hard to read for us ancient types.When I left town a few weeks ago I used the sim slot to store a spare sd with a different distro on it :-) @louispearson @zwol @PINE64
