Tariff Item No. 1205.10.00

Rape from the US is now being taxed. I guess I'll just stick with Canadian rape, keep it local.

Isn't this the same as blaming Biden for high gas prices?

On an LCD display, the backlight is always on but the crystals need power to align and let the backlight through.

A full white screen would in theory use more electricity than a full black screen. How much more, I don't actually know but I would like to know more info in it.

For those that haven't seen it, this produces hilarious results.

I really don't understand this compulsion people have to publicly announce their political support.

Like, this guy could have just said nothing, literally just not do anything, and he'd be better off.

When I select the speaker in Music Assistant and play a song, the player shows up with all of the details but it's just paused.

When I press the play button in MA, nothing happens. Not even an error.

If I press play on the speaker, the last song that was playing before I selected a song in MA starts playing. The player will show my selected track as playing but it's the previous song coming out of the speaker. I can pause the song from MA but I cannot resume. If I resume it from the speaker, the MA player updates to the song that was previously playing and then I cannot control the speaker from MA.

Yeah. I did see in the docs that there can be issues with Unifi networks, which I have, or with special setups but I did try a few of the settings it mentioned with no luck.

The only thing "special" with my network is I'm using a 10.x.x.x/8 subnet mask. The part that confuses me is the speakers are added with no issue.

I haven't had any luck with Music Assistant and my Sonos speakers. :(

I can add and select the speakers, select a track, everything seems to work right up to the point of actually playing music. It just stays paused and never switches to playing, no errors either.

Why is my Android copy of Balatro unable to use the same cloud save system as Steam?

I'm going to be honest because this sounds like a frivolous reason, but this is pretty much the only reason I haven't bought Balatro for Android.

It's one of my favourite games, and it's not even the price holding me back.

I'm just trying to get all of the achievements and I don't want to unlock one and then have to do it again on the computer version.

If you're more into making your own circuit boards, there's a project that provides open schematics for RatGDO that uses the same ESPhome firmware.

JLCPCB had a sale on PCB assembly and I was able to order 5 boards assembled and ready to go for about $25. I already had the ESP microcontrollers, just had to add three wires, flash the controller, and solder it to the board.

It unlocked so much more control over the MyQ integration. It actually showed me how much of a joke the MyQ app is considering how much more can be done with $10 worth of parts and code that random people on the internet made.

Portable Handheld Omnidirectional Networking Equipment is also pretty long, we could probably shorten it.

I didn’t know IKEA made video games?

They don't, they make furniture. You clearly don't understand metaphors.

When they go out of business you can’t download even if you do or don’t have a license.

If Ikea goes out of business, you can't buy their products anymore and the ones you do have you need to protect and make sure they don't degrade. Your argument is true for every single product, digital or physical.

The games from GOG don't have any DRM so you can very easily make copies of the game and safely store them elsewhere, even on new computers.

Games that do have DRM lock you down to verify that you're allowed to play their game, which severely limits how you can use your own product. If that game publisher or developer goes out if business than you can't play the game that you already have, even if it's kept "pristine".

People who bought The Sims 4 couldn't play their offline game because the DRM stopped them, meanwhile people didn't buy the game were free to play it when they wanted. The legitimate buyers of the game were punished simply because of DRM.

That's true for pretty much every product you buy.

The difference is that Ikea isn't going to take your shelf when they feel like it or if they run out of money. Neither is GOG. That's why it matters.

I didn't know China was using the same flag as Chile

I finally looked deeper into this. If you follow the steps for account deletion, there's a button at step 3 to request a download link to your content.

I get an email about once or twice a month telling me to recover my photos before their gone. This has been going on for the last year.

I'd like to message them to request access to my own data, I just haven't gotten around to ir. I think they've been giving out a free trial for those that ask.

I think the healthcare system in my part of Canada has really been going to shit. ER wait times are ridiculous but I think a large part is from a lack of family doctors.

Instead of the general practitioners seeing people, people are just going to the ER for the most basic thing, but we don't really have another choice. But I still haven't experienced any issues with insurance coverage.
