  • I don’t know how to feel about this.

    On the one hand, it’s cool that they pushed old electronics way beyond the known limits, but on the other hand is 120p really an accomplishment?

    Even my old Commodore 64 from 1982 was able to produce around 400p when pushed to the limit (I know progressive wasn’t thing on tvs then. I’m simplifying things to not end up on a side quest here). The norm was 200p and exploring how far the electronics could go in that resolution would be far more interesting in my opinion.

    If we’re just focusing on framerate, I’m pretty sure it would be possible to reach over the kHz limit with 1p.

    Essentially it would be possible to run 1p led-aray at 1MHz or more…


  • I’m openly critical against the whole NATO thing and DSA but you’re just being silly, ignorant, a troll or all of the above.

    I’d rather be a part of the Western military industrial complex than being Ukraine since 2014.

    If Russia just could stop aspiring to be the premier asshole of the northern hemisphere, Sweden would still be “neutral” and democratic neighbors of Russia wouldn’t be forced to put huge amounts of tax money into arms instead of healthcare.

    Russia essentially attacked the guy sitting next to them on the bus because they felt the guy was sitting too close.

    Of course everyone on the bus gets scared of the idiot attacking people!









  • You can set the camera to store the pictures as JPEG. I am happy with JPEG for my holiday photos. Just check that you have the best quality setting since JPEG uses lossy compression.

    While HEIF is not the doomsday thing some describes it as, it currently is somewhat problematic.

    There are for example problems, originating in differences in implementation between different hardware vendors, with 10-bit and HDR.

    I replied to a statement about Heif being an Apple image format. It is not.

    Furthermore, HEIF is something that most major mobile device vendors support. Some, like Samsung, even sets it as default on some of their devices. So the whole “Apple always supporting not open standards” is just tiresome at this point.

    99.999% of all Android users are defacto locked in by Google. Yes, Android might be open but Play services are not. Google works hard to lock in Android users.

    At least Apple are open and honest about locking in iOS users.

    No.

    It’s a container for image data developed by Moving Picture Experts Group (“MPEG”, try to guess what else they have created).

    While there are some compatibility issues between vendors HEIC still offers a greater set of features as compared to fx JFIF (you probably know it as JPEG/JPG.

    Apple was one of the early adopters (2017) and (as usual?) the industry has followed. Microsoft wants money for the codec in Windows and that’s probably one of the reasons why it’s not commonly used…yet.
