So they probably didn't output .raw images, I think those are more recent. That would have been a weird use of the file format!

FWIW, pixels don't have to be square or in a grid.

Are autochrome starch particles subpixels? How many are there in a pixel?

Some professional cameras take photos with hexagonal pixels, for example

Really? I thought the Bayer filter was near-universal, and Wikipedia does not list what you just mentioned.

Anyway, older LCDs in portable color TVs, cameras and camcorders did use that pattern but that's on the display side.

Pixel purists say pixels have to be in a square or rectangular grid. Stitching is a good analog example. Yet others think that 2-subpixel "pixels" (RG and BG, alternating in a checkerboard pattern), as seen on some OLED screens should be counted as half-pixels, like on Bayer-filter cameras.

Anyway, there are digital systems with other layouts:
Geascript-38 "Parklight-System"
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137757955
Early pocket color LCD TVs, cameras and camcorders would use hexagonal grids similar to shadow mask CRTs' phosphor dots.

By the way, neither color CRT phosphor dots nor stripes are pixels because they're not individually addressable. In fact, depending on the beam's position, a single phosphor dot can represent a gradient, and on B/W CRTs the whole screen is a single phosphor-covered surface.

Another has a rotated eye

Being FOSS is not a prerequisite of E2EE but a prerequisite of knowing it's E2EE for sure. Like, I can give you a black box that prints PGP key pairs and says "includes RPGP, MIT-licensed PGP library" but you can't trust that the machine doesn't use modified, low-entropy RNG or exfiltrate the results. The communication you do with these PGP keys is technically E2EE − a third party server relaying your messages will not be able to read them, unless I provide them with the potentially not-so-secret "random" data my box generated.

But you're right: if my black boxes are also used to encrypt/decrypt the messages with "your" keys (made by them) and I run a non-transparent ssrvice that delivers the messages, there is a case for not calling it E2EE.

To be fair, we don't have any pics of exoplanets. Technically, we could measure their surface temperature and basic chemistry through spectroscoopy but I don't think they reflect enough photons for our equipment. They are usually identified by dimming their star slightly when passing in front of it. This can give an estimated size and distance from their star. And maybe atmosphere composition if it refracts! So they're not naming this kind of picture but a bunch of data with big error bars.

My phone can't decode YouTube's WebM above 90 fps at 480p and 60 fps at 720p without a huge framedrop. The audio works fine though.

Ich hoffe, du wählst meine Beiträge nicht blind hoch! Denn bei mir "Chaotic Neutral" bedeutet, ich schwänke zwischen gut und böse.

Und danke, dass du mich zum 39c3 geleitet hast.

Auch bei legendären Beiträgern wie @ZonenRanslite@feddit.org lese ich zuerst den Inhalt (bei ihm ist es auch wert, Acht zu geben)

 

WebP does everything GIF did, just better. The only problem is adoption. Maybe a similar, single-syllable name could have helped.

  • Ends the pronunciation debate: hard G in the 1987 filetype, soft G in the 2010 one
  • Looping soundless video gets a name that's short and does not refer to a terribly inefficient format (that "gif" sharing sites often no longer use anyway), plus some wrong people have been using it already
  • Software peer-pressured into supporting it (nobody wants to hear "they don't support JIF" about their software)
 

They say lab is short for German Labor, which is short for Romanian laborator, which is short for Latin laboratorium.

Unfortunately, it took backlash from EU to turn the needle but they did it. Now one "only" needs 2 doctors' recommendation, 1 year testing period, and then 2 more notes from doctors.

This lamp by OSRAM uses the LEDVANCE trademark, implying it is an LED replacement for fluorescent tubes. I repair LED bulbs (and tubes but broken ones are still rare) as a hobby, and while going through bins I have to avoid fluorescent ones (even CFLs in fancy globes). Welp, there goes my yet-flawless way to tell: "if it says LED, it's LED". I really need to shine through most of them! Shining a light through this one reveals nothing inside but a heated electrode at either end (aside the phosphor coating, and a gas mixture including a little mercury vapor), the normal components of an FL tube. LED tubes would include a driver and an LED strip (and usually a PTC at the other end). I mainly use the method to reveal the kinky or twisty tube of "sneaky" CFLs with milky balls.

Also, the company took a while to leave Russia but at least they did

Data mostly from Wikipedia. No warranty. For example, Slovak is arguably not an official language in the Czech Republic, just mentioned as “mutually intelligible” in certain laws but I followed Wikipedia and included it. Languages are grouped by the acronyms and sorted by their 2-letter codes. Those are based on their Wikipedia URL or my guess (sucks to be you, Montenegrin speakers, should have made your own Wikipedia). Countless Sámi languages are represented by North Sámi, the only one with a NATO Wikipedia article.

Changelog from v1 I originally posted on Reddit: Hungarian ÉASS → ÉASzSz (the "sz" stays together in acronyms because unlike most letter pairs it makes a single special sound).

There are references to Cosy Dens, hallmark Czech Christmas movie set during the 1968 Prague Spring and Soviet invasion, as well as graduation films by their classmates. Definitely watch them!
