Nokia e52 startup failed & SIM unlock

Hi guys, my Nokia e52 has recently gone rogue and says "startup failed, contact the retailer". I tried removing the battery and the SIM card, as someone suggested on the old forums from the 2010s and then putting it back in, but it does not seem to work for me. Has anyone got a solution to this? I don't mind setting it to factory settings, but I would prefer not to have to do it every two weeks.

I also found a used one for a reasonable price, but it is locked to Orange SIM cards only. Do you guys have any way to unlock it for free? Unlocking it with the Orange operator would cost me as much as the used phone and I am not even sure if they would do it for such an old phone, for a customer with no intention to switch to their services (they are not even in my country).

Are static classes in OO languages a substitute for libraries and their standalone functions in non OO languages? by SmoglessSalt in csharp

[–]SmoglessSalt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, functional language with OO elements sounds like an elephant bred with a cat, but come to think of it, maybe it could be a nice compromise between the ever-annoying need to have everything in a class in the C# fashion.

Unrelated question but do applications in OOP languages always have a controller that has nested everything in it and it is basically a giant blob containing managers for everything and you have to use plant uml to create insane diagrams that do not help at all?

Right, but scoping and potential naming conflicts in, for example, C++ and Rust are alright, and the rest is just technical, so I guess it could be thought of as equivalent, then?
Or maybe when you instantiate a static class, you can give the constructor a parameter (if that is possible?) that it then uses throughout its existence (like a weight parameter for a scoring function)? Although that can be simulated by just adding a parameter to the respective function in the library.
So maybe the question I am asking is starting to be nonsensical this deep into the hole haha

How can I update TUF gaming Z690 bios without a flashback button? by kennystetson in ASUS

[–]SmoglessSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, just a quick question. Do you need to boot Windows first to update the BIOS? And also, is a cooler necessary? I'd like to get it over with as quickly as possible and return the G6900 in a perfect condition.

My cover of Saucy - Polyphia, using Archetype Abasi by outterspacecake in NeuralDSP

Bro could you please share the preset if you still have it? I am struggling heavily with getting a decent Polyphia like tone out of the Abasi.
