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.

Samsung has it on OLED screens.

For OLED it takes very little power to dimmily illuminate a small area of the screen and the rest is the same as it's off.

So you can do stuff like have a clock always display without having to drain your battery as much as always having the screen "on".

But this is Apple, so who knows if they mean the standard definition or it's like Musk's "full self driving" that cant drive itself.

It’s the same thing. I used to have a Samsung with an always on display and loved it, so I was thrilled when iPhone finally got it after I switched over.

Same deal, OLED screen, you can use it for the clock, date, weather, whatever.

Always on, idle idle Always On display

Always on, in use active Always On display

The display runs dimmed unless you’re actively using it. During certain Focus settings, like Bedtime, the display turns off completely unless you wake it intentionally.

Recommend that you go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Always On Display and uncheck “Show Wallpaper”

This will make it so the display is mostly black when not in use. Black pixels don’t use power on OLED screens, so it will help boost your battery life.

Or, leave the wallpaper if you’d rather.

And hide that glorious wallpaper? Pfffft

(Actually kind a jealous. I’m boring. My background is straight black. Mostly on account of icons and readability.) (okay, so I grew up in the 90’s wallpapers aren’t supposed to be fun.)

I grew up in the 90’s wallpapers aren’t supposed to be fun

I, and my child self fooling around in Windows 3.11 back in the day, beg to differ.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

That wallpaper is freakin sick, dude

[–] Naja_Kaouthia 6 points 6 months ago

Ah, thanks. It’s absolutely not mine and I can’t give credit because I honestly can’t remember where I appropriated it from but it’s cartoon Ragnarok. It’s cropped down a bit on my phone otherwise it scales a bit weirdly but this is the whole thing. cartoon Ragnarok

Did you zoom in? It's AI crap that doesn't make sense once you're close.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That is very good AI art, if it's AI art. Pretty sure it's Norse mythology inspired- I think the snake is Jormungandr and the lil dude with the hammer is Thor. So it might be AI making the art weird or it might be the source material making the art weird lmao

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

They legit don't have any faces or arms. That "Thor" has a weird, flesh coloured, Megaman buster-shaped appendage, no eyes and a gaping hole of a mouth.

It's not obvious at a glance, but each of those "characters" are amorphous blobs. Seriously, zoom in even a little, it's really strange to look at.

I appreciate the poster demonstrating always-on to OP, and I'd never criticize them for using this wallpaper, but the only way you can call this "very good AI art" is by glancing at a thumbnail and moving on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I just assumed it was a weird minimalist style or a terrible quality photo making it look weird, honestly. I didn't examine it closely.

Looking at it on desktop, wow the faces are awful.

[–] andrewta 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

follow up dumb question: can you turn the function off?

[–] Naja_Kaouthia 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Sure can. Settings > Display & Brightness.

[–] andrewta 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] Naja_Kaouthia 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

For sure, glad I could help!

[–] andrewta 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Curious if you have any thoughts on the benefits of the 15 pro vs the base 15 iPhone. If you think it's with the extra money? Especially in respect to the camera.

[–] Naja_Kaouthia 1 points 6 months ago

I’m a “use what works for you” kind of person. I’ve been using the Pro Max iterations of the iPhone lately because mainly I like the camera. Having my phone with me out on a hike is better than hauling an extra piece of kit and I like having a bigger screen because I’m middle aged and I have to do the holding everything 2 feet away arm extension to read. Realistically, there’s nothing I would call a major difference among the models.

thank you for the link.

[–] palebluethought 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Perhaps "always-on display" is clearer? Keeps it from turning off when idle

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The ol' Battery Burner feature.
