tech/science swag. 
Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality or funny effortposts and informative or entertaining comments. Please refrain from posting the following:
Boring wingcucked nonsense nobody cares about that belongs in chudrama
Normie shit everyone already knows about
Anything that doesn't gratifify one's intellectual laziness
Bimothy-tier posts
Anything that the jannies don't like
Jannies reserve the right to exile baby ducks from this hole at any time.
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. This hole is a janny playground, participation implies enthusiastic consent to being janny abused by unstable alcoholic bullies and loser nerds who have nothing better to do than banning you for any reason or no reason whatsoever.

I bought a $150 samsung piece of shit. It calls and makes texts, it's almost perfect. I actually just found my old blackberry with the slide keyboard today and it felt really good in my hands again. I seriously might switch back,

I haven't paid over $200 for a phone in years. Just find your favorite previous generation refurbished on ebay, usually including a 1 year warranty. They're great since I touch grass enough to break them.

I paid around $350 AUD for this back when they were current, ironically because I actually hate phones and I was trying to buy one which would last close to forever.

Those Huawei $100 phones run as good as a mid range phone from 3 years ago honestly. They're old technology and you don't need that much computing power to fry your zoomer brain on tiktoks and porn.

Applecels are prime examples of stockholm syndrome. They don't even know why they think their phone is superior other than yell "haha poors". Neighbors don't have notification icons in 2022 and still call android phones shit for some reason. All your phone is an app launcher that sometimes works as a phone.

I have both and theyre equally shit, so paying more for an iphone is r-slurred unless your company is paying for it, in which case who cares?
Actually the iphone is slightly worse because the battery is fricking trash

iPhones aren't a status symbol anymore. Even the poorest of poors have them now because poors would rather buy a used iphone than a used android phone.

I could save up for one if I wanted it. I just feel that in general, Apple's products are a lot more about being status symbols, than being actually useful.

Whenever I try to use an iPhone
it makes me want to kill 
myself
Everything is so fricking
slow 
and buried under 
50 menus and requires weird 
esoteric 
gestures so you have to randomly swipe the screen 
like an r-slur 
until the right 
one comes up

Imagine not being able to use a phone that has been UX’ed out of the butt, so much so that there’s videos of monkey’s using them just fine.

Samsung S10+ is peak smartphone. Everything after is marginally better and actually worse and in some categories.

I cracked the screen and back on my S10+ so I upgraded to an S21+ and it's a worse phone, no headphone jack or SD card slot.

Ive had my screen replaced twice. Each time it broke I checked the market and none were worth the trouble. S10+ is still super fast and has tons of storage and still feels brand new.

I think the last one was the s6 or s7. The S8+ onwards are ip68 so no removable battery.

Though having read some of their answers, I unfortunately have to concur with the gentleman still seething about iTunes years after its introduction. Never forget indeed.
