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'm upgrading because my phone is losing (lost?) support. I use a OnePlus 7 Pro and love it and wouldn't bother upgrading otherwise. I'd appreciate some recommendations of android phones you like, please.

Thank you in advance! (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)

I just picked up a Sony Xperia 1 V, and so far I'm happy with it. It's snappy as can be, and the camera is absolutely fantastic.

I recommend getting the ones popular in India for great 3rd party support (: Snapdragon Xiaomis are a safe bet if you're on a budget

I'm considering Fair Phone to be my next one. The latest has 5G support.

If you like your phone, and want continued support... flash LineageOS. You can keep all your google stuff if you want to with it. OnePlus is one of the easier phones to do this with.

Im using an LG Velvet 5G. Great specs including 5G, wifi 6, sd card, and headphone jack. I know LG has discontinued making phones but it is still getting updates. Hopefully custom ROMs fill in once that expires.

Nice thing is, you can find these phones for sub $300 if you hunt around.

If you want Pixel features, flash a custom ROM based on PE.

What support do you need? Sounds like it does everything you want it to do. I dont know about that one, but for a lot of devices, "updates" are often just loading in new advertising features.

[–] umulu 3 points 8 months ago

What? What about security updates?

Depends on your use cases and budget

I see alot of people are recommending the fairphone and I wouldn't mind getting one myself but they lack support for alot of major features do not have good price to performance whatsoever and have generally lackluster support when it comes to replacement parts ive seen people waiting absolutely ages for just a replacement usb c port on there fp4 just buy whatever will best meet all your usecases within your budget

Bought a used pixel 7 and I'm very happy with it.

The zflip5 looks really nice with the big cover screen. I've had the 3 since launch and it still works well. Best thing about it is the small pocket size and being able to put keys and other stuff in my pocket without scratching the screen up.
