That’s a nice trick, making the battery last longer by not using the phone. I’ll try it myself.

OLEDs have larger color gamut, but larger is not always better. “The Color Gamut is not only much larger than the Standard Color Gamut, which leads to distorted and exaggerated colors, but the Color Gamut is quite lopsided, with Green be

Maybe, having the real data on power usage from the components instead of a script reading a non linear, corrected and unreliable indicator, they know it doesn't matter as much as XDA thinks.

Other cameras don't usually rotate the photos (I've had to fix this same bug myself before the iPhone existed). My guess is that they didn't notice it earlier because photos from cameras are more likely to go through some post processing th

By decoding the jpeg, rotating the pixels and saving the jpeg again. I'm not even sure it makes sense to talk about lossy and losses when displaying images.

Well, photographs are two dimensional.

by micampe 14y ago
Because lossless rotation is fairly expensive computationally so digital cameras have been leaving that job to a computer.

I do that a lot and I found long lines annoying on an 11" MacBook Air, which has a 1366px horizontal resolution, and I use a fairly large font size at 12pt. I want to believe most developers use a larger display for their day to day work.

I know, I was challenging the idea that it should not be allowed to trademark words in “the dictionary”. It’s a judge decision, there is no formal list of disallowed words, and my point is that there can’t be one, in the real world.

Which dictionary? Who defines it? Who decides when Kleenex or App are to be included? Are words ever removed from that dictionary? What about foreign language dictionaries? What about foreign words transliterations to a different alphabet?
