No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I'd like to see a requirement for microSD card storage. The cost of storage an phones is entirely deplorable

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And the same for the headphone jack. Getting rid of it just so they can force you to buy planned e-waste fast is less convenient and more expensive should be a crime.

Huh? There's not enough roooom, you all wanted smaller phones right?

Rubs nipples

Thinner* since there are people actually wanting smaller phones (and I have a jack on my zenphone 10 so size isn't an issue), they've been blaming thinness and water resistance for the drop of the jack

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

Both of which have proven to be lies by the likes of the Sony Xperia phones which still do nearly everything right. I say nearly because they're plagued with bad fingerprint sensors which is the only reason I had to stop using my 1 III.

Oh yea. One of the reasons why I went for a Samsung A-Series instead of the S-Series is the microSD card slot. Yes, that slot is just soooo goood.

I can get an A series phone for like $400 with IP67 Water Resistance, and buy a $130 1TB MicroSD card and Voila, a 1TB phone. The cheapest Galaxy S-Series phone with 1TB storage is a $1500 Galaxy S-Something Ultra.

Like bruh, I don't want to pay $1000 more if all I want to do is watch youtube videos with it.

I can have an offline wikipedia, like 10 TV shows, a few movies, the top 100 of my favorite Youtube Videos, thousands of books (that I'll probably never read), cat photos, more cat photos, cat videos, and even more cat videos... etc...

I have a mini computer in my pocket.

Sadly no replaceable battery tho 🤷‍♂️

Samsung A-Series

Okey so I googled it. "Low range android phones blabla..". Checked the price. Oh yeah wtf it's 400€ lol. That's more than I ever paid for a phone, even including the current one, which is the most expensive, Honor 10, that I got before covid

[–] [email protected] 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I mean... $400 is what I was willing to spend. You could go lower.

But I used sub-$100 android phones and... they aren't great. (very laggy)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago

Yup totally agreed, I tied one for 150,and it was barely usable, I decided I can't force myself to use that

Cost of storage on Samsung Galaxy phones are not exactly cheap either

[–] [email protected] -2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Wdym? Apple is notoriously shit for this exact thing. They probably still sell 32gb phones for $800 and call it a budget phone. While a 128gb version would be $1200

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

Apple no longer have 32GB phones.

The minimum is now at 128GB for Apple's cheapest phone. Its been the minimum since the iPhone 11

I understand your contempt for Apple, and I hate Apple too, but lets stick with the facts.

Apple's latest phone:

Samsung's latest phone:

About the same...
