9 days agoNo, 1080p is 2K because its width is 1920 (close to 2000), 2160p is 4K (3840 px wide), 4320p is 8K (7680 px wide). It’s not 1K, 4K and 16K.

The town name and state is also very easy to figure out, and you can easily verify it by checking where Musk will be holding a town hall today. For each of the most violently crossed-out words, D███ and C███████, there is just one first name matching whatever is visible. Yes, I copied and pasted letters from elsewhere and the width is correct.
Greedy marketers just wanted to show a higher number… That’s why they switched from height to width, too.
By having seen a low-end 2017 laptop?
1080 rows of 1920 pixels each
1920 columns of 1080 pixels each
If 2K referred to the number of pixels, it would look like this:
FullHD is actually a little over 2M pixels.
The terms “2K” and “4K” were totally commonplace since about 2010, although not as prevalent as 1080p. I hate how the video industry switched to marketing horizontal resolution (and rounding it up) just to make the number look big.
I know the difference but there are lots of people who aren’t really savvy with video technology. I wouldn’t blame them for thinking that ［🢐 １０８０ 🢒］ is just barely better than 1024x768.
2k and 4k does not refer to horizontal resolution but the number of pixels
Nope. 1080x1920 is 2 073 600 pixels, which would be 2M. “2K” is 1920 rounded up.

Yes, get yourself eclipse glasses, a pinhole projector, a floppy disk, digital camera or whatever allows you to observe the eclipse safely – no phenomenon is worth risking your eyesight over. However, the consensus is that you can watch the sun flares without protection during totality. The totality lasted 0 to 4 minutes depending on your location.
…and ignore one of the coolest things there is to see on the sky
A solar or lunar eclipse?
0·10 months agofind an original film print and have it scanned
The 4K77 project did just that, scan and color correction to reverse fading, and effectively no other processing so they cannot claim copyright. Arguably, Harmy’s Despecialized Edition cannot either, even if the original becomes public domain, as it could be argued that their effort only served a technical purpose. I don’t think you can scan, upscale and denoise Steamboat Willie (Walt Disney, 1928) and claim copyright on that even if you do it by hand.
Interesting… Too bad a right-holder can do minor edits to their work and effectively extend copyright (which is already very long in my opinion) if they nuke the previous version. Lucas was surprisingly successful at that, and I think game studios or other creators could do that today too with their aggressive DRM tactics.
Thank you, great point!
0·10 months agoI analyzed it in another comment: the header says the image is 300x300px 8-bit RGBA but the data is invalid. Most viewers will notice that and show an error.
However, the syntax it used for embedding images is valid, as
data:image/png;base64,is the start of a valid image URL and you can use it like other image URLs in supported Markdown interpretors.Example, using the 103-byte Google Maps’ sea tiles, and a 178-byte GIF:

Both get referred to as 2K. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K_resolution
