  • Is the country between France and Poland called, Deutschland, Allemagne, or Germany?

    It’s completely outside of the borders of the US but the name used for that country is completely different from then name people from that area would call it.

    Which name is right? Which name should be displayed on the map? It depends on a few things.

    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.




  • 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.




  • 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.




  • 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.
