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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

A marketing prof once told me that a lot of phone companies, Apple in specific, split their projects up into several releases as a form of planned obsolescence. You're more likely to find this in matured and established brand names because they have the power of goodwill to retain their market share whereas an up and coming company relies on being innovative in the sense of being early adopters of new, sometimes not fully tested, technology.
So for example, you see 3 iPhones being released in the span of 2 years. Those were likely 1 project released in a deliberately staggered manner so that "fanboys" "early movers" "brand loyal" (basically materialistic people who either don't understand or love being manipulated by corps) will pay for 1 project that a team worked on, 3 separate times.
I bought the first iPhone when it was released. It didn't have stereo bluetooth support, that was on the newer iPhone 3G.
However, except for the network adapter, both were hardware-wise exactly the same.
I found a kext file in my phone, that had disabled the function, as in:
"Bluetooth_stereo = false"
After enabling that, it worked like a charm.
That was the last iPhone I ever bought.
Ah so things like Apple Intelligence being a staggered release
I've been off apple products for over a decade now other than my 2012 macbook that I basically just use as an exclusively youtube player so I'm not too familiar with Apple Intelligence, it looks like it's their proprietary AI algorithm so in that case, it's less staggered release and more the fact that AI gets better the more it is interacted with.
In a nutshell, most of the promised features of Apple Intelligence wasn’t released on launch (notably, still no smart Siri), at first only things like image playground and note summaries.
It's possible that was deliberate but they don't usually announce things they don't originally plan on releasing as that can damage their reputation. Possible that they truly couldn't meet deadlines or that they were purposely trying to create hype, hard to say without being upper management in Apple
Yeah, Apple Intelligence really was half-baked. Apple be Apple I guess
Ya we're talking about the company that secretly throttled phone performance and battery life so nothings outside the realm of possibility
