While technically true, I think you're getting the wrong idea about how they're used. The properties aren't being used as backdrops for random videos -- they're the permanent residence for a few selected content creators

‘Per’ means ‘divided by’, ‘cent’ means 100. Units implicitly multiply, and x/100 == x*0.01. Percent is a fancy way to 0.01, just as ‘dozen’ is a fancy way to say 12. Percent has some strong norms around its usage (no-one buys 1200% egg

It's a flashcard system that schedules the cards to be reviewed based on how new the information is. A basic system is to review each card after 1,2,4,8,etc days, resetting if you don't recall the answer from the prompt.

Safari does that. Firefox has an about:config preference that would let you set up a font whitelist yourself, but it doesn’t have a standard set.

My understanding is that this is pentile, meaning each ‘pixel’ is either R+G, or G+B; not the R+G+B pixel you’d expect. In practice this means 4k brightness detail, but only 2k colour detail. That aside, 1080p isn’t past the threshold of im

If you shift F away from that ratio, you're not doing equal temperament anymore. Which is fine. There are many different tuning systems [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_tuning#Systems_for_the... ], and they

It's a way of tuning so that all semitone intervals are an equal [2^(1/12)] frequency ratio. The vast majority of western music, today , uses equal temperament. This includes most recorded performances of JS Bach's pieces. I

The SE wasn’t made for the low-mid market. It was a miniaturised iPhone 6s released while the 6s was ‘current’, and got to ‘low-mid market’ pricing by being discounted as it got older.
