!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:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

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.
Our breathtaking icon was bestowed upon us by @Cevilia!

Every time I see these type of videos, comments always be like: "America cant do it cuz the immigrants, democrats, and black people would steal it." or something like "This is why a homogenous society is more harmonious."
The actual reason nobody steal them is cuz its tracked...
Only idiots would steal it
Like wtf is this "Japan is a paradise" westerner simping?
Ask a Japanese why they cannot turn of their shutter sound
They can both be true, for example look into the lost and found system in Japan. Japan culture is like what OP says, but yeah it’s fucked up in other ways, that has no bearing on whether they treat stealing differently.
it’s built within a trust system where an individual is expected to not shoplift (due to shaming culture) as public face and reputation matters to them.
It's because there are tons of security cameras and a super high prosecution rate. It has nothing to do with "shame" or "face" and it drives me crazy when people say stuff like this
People shoplift here every day. Convenience store clerks have basically big paintballs to lob at shoplifters to mark them as they run.

However, try doing the same thing in New York or Seattle and see what happens…
Ok, so this isn't really even a question at all.
It's because demo units are registered per store.
On top of this, if I remember correctly iPhones 15 and newer have special versions of firmware which do not let you enter DFU mode to remove the demo mode.
I think this is just a thing in Apple Stores. Apple pioneered the Find My technology. Every device has gps baked in and activation lock. Even if you steal it, you can’t use it. You’re also now carrying around a tracking device that law enforcement can use to find you.
I don't think Apple wants me putting devices out in their stores, with or without security locks, since none of them would be Apple devices. And there'd be nothing for me to gain from the procedure, so even if I technically could, I would never want to.
Oh hell naw. Some fool is gonna dump it all in a duffel bag and ship it off to his plug to send to some country where they just jailbreak them.
edit: lmao, even
