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.

Because you very rarely need to actually log in on your laptop. You lock and open your phone dozens of times per day, but you'll probably log in once or twice on your laptop and that's it. It's not a feature many people would care about.
I always lock my computer when I walk away from it so my dog can't start hacking the CIA.
Needs to train their dog worse, if anything lol.
I unlock my 1Password vault(s) with fingerprint, so it’s much more useful than just logging into the laptop. which at work I log into many more times a day than once or twice.
I use the TouchID on my MacBook several times a day because it unlocks the password manager and wallet.
If you have an Apple Watch you don’t even need to do that. 😂 but yeah it’s great having a fingerprint scanner on a computer
I lock my computer whenever I leave my desk.
"Rarely?" This is anecdotally very false, and I don't think I'm that much of an outlier. Do you have stats on that?
Yeah either they’re unemployed, work from home, or have terrible IT practices where they work hahaha
For real. My work laptop locks after 5 minutes.
True for personal laptops, false for professional laptops. Might be why they gave me one with a fingerprint reader.
I unlock my work laptop a dozen times a day at least. Facial recognition FTW for that. TBH I've never felt the need to set up my fingerprint though...
Most work laptops I've seen use smart cards for this. The computer is locked unless your card is inserted and a PIN is entered, and removing the card locks the computer.
What country and industry do you work in? I’ve never even heard of that much less seen it in a professional capacity.
I’m in the US working for a company that uses smart card plus PIN for login, then everything else is automatic SSO using those credentials.
Honestly works amazingly.
A lot of modern places use shibboleth and 2FA keys these days, but the military still uses smart card authentication
Where I work we use passwords but I'm in the trial for Windows hello for business.
I do know though that smart cards are very common in the healthcare industry. I know that the police also use it.
We use Windows Hello PINs. Great when you have a 10-key (numpad) built into the laptop. Too bad it takes forever to wake. God I wish I had any MacBook.
Like wake from sleep? My work laptop wakes very quickly from sleep. I just touch my finger on the fingerprint reader and it wakes unlocked in just a few seconds. It's a Dell latitude 5430
that's really weird. I worked in healthcare and literally never saw that once.. that was a decade ago now, but still.
As a student, I unlock my laptop several times per day.
