No Stupid Questions
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.

Kobo is the only other manufacturer I know of that gets fairly good reviews. Do Boox devices really fail that much? I haven’t heard that.
@[email protected] I got one and it broke (in a hotel so idk if it was the cleaning lady or what). the cost of repair though was close to buying a new one, so (stubbornly) I did. I've been trying to be super careful, but I'm not buying a 3rd device from the same company.
Look at their subreddit, there are tons of horror stories.
Didn't understood, someone broke your device and it was expensive to fix so you won't buy that brand again? Even though if someone broke it what broke was possibly the screen which is the most expensive part on an e-reader.
My past 4 e-readers have been Kobo (I had another brand before but it was shit), the first one I had for years and forgot in an airplane, the second one I broke the screen and it was too expensive to replace, the third one I gave to a friend after having it for a few years and the fourth one I've had for a few months, all of them were working perfectly until the end, i.e none of them had any hardware failure. So they're a good hardware brand, I don't think judging them because their screen replacement is expensive (when the screen doesn't break on it's own) is fair.
@[email protected] I wasn't talking about kobo.
People with issues go online to talk about it. Every online forum for a device is going to have this.
