| Jul 23, 2021 at 14:54 | comment | added | Alex A. | For example, if you wrote in the rules that the site was created for questions about "computing devices", then you should not be surprised that I asked a question about wooden abacus. If questions about wooden abacus are unacceptable, you need to give a more detailed definition of what is meant by a "computing device". I hope I've made that point clear. | |
| Jul 23, 2021 at 14:54 | comment | added | Alex A. | @Mokubai Answer will not be deleted, ok. If I will still want to write sth here, I'll be able to reread it, BUT: other authors even does not know about this answer. Help center must countain a link to the similar explanation, for example. Few people will disagree that different people understand "slightly" different things by one and the same words. It seems that you could notice this even in the example with me. | |
| Jul 22, 2021 at 8:07 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | This answer won't be deleted. Any positively scored answer will block question deletion. The help center is intended to be a short but sweet summary and filling in all the grey areas would end up with people seeing a great wall of text and simply ignoring it. The current help center text contains enough information if you are willing to actually absorb what it says is on and off topic. | |

I'm surprised that a question like this has a rating of only "-8". I expected at least "-64", however, everything is still ahead. | |

And so, if there are principles for filtering out questions, there are non-desirable and desirable questions for the neighborhood (for example, linux tablets like pine phone, as I understood from your answer, is acceptable), why is there not what you wrote in this answer in the help center? You know the principles of filtering questions, right? Wouldn't it be better to write in detail once, so that the author does not waste his time waiting for an answer where the question will simply be closed?

However, the authors of the "non-right" questions was referred not to the description of the "route" of this line, there is no description of the bends of this line, there is no description of this "line" at all. Why your help center have no definition of "real" or "unreal" computers? | |
| Jul 20, 2021 at 13:41 | comment | added | Ramhound | The question also asked 4 very different questions. Three of the questions probably would be within scope on a more scientific Stack Exchange community since it deals with the chemical properties of a lithium polymer battery. The only question that would be within scope at the Android community (in my opinion) is the question with regards the battery preventing an automatic shutdown of the tablet (which would be a feature of the operating system). The question would equally be out of scope of these same questions were asked about a Surface Pro 7 tablet (in my opinion). | |
