R-SIM IN UNIVERSE is actually an anagram i created from my mind, i had to write down the letters in sorted order, though. Who can decipher it, WITHOUT USING AI, gets all my remaining sMerits (currently 1 at the time of writing) after i have read the first correct answer (could be tomorrow, though).
Nice one, OOM! That's VIRES IN NUMERIS. Not using AI. #replykuLadies (?) and Gentlemen, we have a winner!  35 sMerit sent. I was thoroughly impressed by the winner's wits. Not that I had reason to doubt that, mind you... but an aswer in haiku form was just the cherry on top. Very well done, AlcoHoDL!

From that demonstration, I conclude that rotary dial is not intuitive, even though rotary dial has not been out of the mainstream scene for very long.
I have likely not used a rotary dial in over a quarter of a century. Or to put it another way, the last millennium. Though I think they still work with POTS and I assume the telcos still charge for dialtone service. My demented bro-in-law has a working one in his home. I used it last year when testing his new telecalm phone service which screens incoming phones.

Many thanks d_eddie and everyone, and special thx to OOM for the very nice riddle! I tried by looking at it, but couldn't get anywhere. Then I did what OOM mentioned: I sorted the letters in ascending order first. This strips away the structure and leaves the brain open to all possibilities. I tried each letter, and when I reached V, I tried VIRUS IN NUMBERS, but I was missing a U and a B. And then it clicked! VIRES IN NUMERIS!

A tidbit that might amuse you guys is I got a 56k modem back in the day that wasn't functional and I used it for a year making the carrier signal initialization sounds by voice. Once it was initiated the handshake worked just fine. I never did figure out what was wrong with that modem.  Ole Us. robotics.  Most of us had at least one of these - I still keep mine for some sentimental reason. My modem was unfortunately working which resulted in me infecting my computer with a dialer that called the Cook Islands (or something like that) and racked up a phone bill that nearly made my parents faint. To make matters worse, the store where I bought the computer sellers had a sense of humor, so they set the modem to turn on the computer every time the house phone rang - and it rang very often because there were no cell phones yet. It took me a while to figure it out, but in the end it turned out that I don't have a ghost that likes to play Tetris on the computer

Plastic case, creamy-white in color. I think it was 9.6 kbps. Used it at home to visit BBS "sites". Also for FTP transfers. My parents were mad at me for occupying the line for hours. Commodore Amiga, early 90s.

I told her to look in the bios and she was like i can't do that. I tried to talk her through it and finally gave up when she refused to try and told her to call the people she bought it from. She said she could not get through to them so I charged her to drive over her house and change a bios setting that took 30 seconds. Some people amaze me, all she had to do was listen to me and try and would have had free tech support.

If you browsed notatether.com back in the day, you'd know. Nowadays it's just a ghost town but I have to keep the domain and pages so that scammers can't take over it I even PGP signed my identity on Bitcointalk https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1159946.msg54328378#msg54328378I guess now that I got 10,000 merits, maybe next I'll try 10,000 followers?

 I have been going viral on X re: the Coldcard hack lately I was thinking about who wants so much money. Billions of dollars, this cant be a small group of individuals. If they stole juat a few millions they would have more chance of not getting caught. I wonder if all that money will be used by terrorism organizations or to fund North Korea military ....
