Well, safety is impacted, but it seems to be up to you. If you want to go down like _a real man_ because your car couldn't call emergency services that's your choice. Other people might (hopefully) make another choice.

eCall is also opening up a two way communication with the emergency line, so they can gather more information. Might be helpful if your microphone does work in that case.

I think they wanted others to build semiconductor labs for them for free, because... I don't know, "we're OpenAI" or so...

Not sure if that's version specific, but my one can (version 26.7.0) without any issues or warnings. Tried with this sample file: https://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery/1.webp

Adobe Photoshop has support for WebP (through "Save as", not "Export") but I don't think WebP is important.

As someone who has been to both Hamburg and Munich quite a few times I find them hard to compare. Each city has its own benefits and they are both great in their way. I think in the end it comes down to whether you like mountains more than

As others have pointed out, JPEG is just fine. It's "enough" in the best sense of the word and gets its job done. It's supported on every device, in every browser, image viewer and whatnot. It. Just. Works. Maybe there a

Sorry, but that sounds more like a problem with your color management systems and workflows and not so much with JPEG itself.

The article is wrong on that. Top left is "reserved" for the logo, top right for a menu. That's learned behaviour all across the "left to right" world.
