No, 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.
takes the aspect ratio from 3:4 to 16:9. so pixel density is barely better
What? Screen aspect ratio and pixel density are quite different things. Most FullHD TVs are widescreen and have pixel density below 36 ppi, and while high-DPI 4:3 screens are rare, they are not impossible in any way.
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. 1920×1080 is 2 073 600 pixels, which would be 2M. “2K” is the horizontal resolution (1920) rounded up. A screen with literally 2K pixels would be around 50×40, lower than the crappiest handheld consoles.
Is there more info about this? I could only find Chinese forums like https://m-weibo-cn.translate.goog/status/OdaBMza1L?from=page_1005052963774131_profile&wvr=6&mod=weibotime&jumpfrom=weibocom
The chips (basic TTL logic, perhaps) are all DIP. This may predate the term “open source”.
First sentence of my post, for this very reason – they own the franchise, after all. The law may also change the other way but that’s very unlikely to happen in the US within 50 years.
I wonder if they could develop a system of draconian DRM (only their own theatres with metal detectors, personalized online streams…) and mildly edit movies every few decades so that they can destroy the original and effectively renew copyright. The gaming industry’s always-online DRM makes nuking a release possible but copyright lasts for about 20 console generations (we’ve only had 8 so far!) so they don’t even have to do that.
I think that at least the sub-title “Episode IV: A New Hope” was added in that DVD release… Anyway, a “4K77” scan of a 1977 film reel distributed directly by the studio exists, it’s just noisy and needed color correction.
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!
Finally, I can calmly watch the performance of my stock portfolio
H LIES IN A PNEAPPE
I literally predicted that old.reddit.com would shut down in 6 months after u/spez said it’s not going anywhere, just like Apollo. I wasn’t sure how seriously to take this but I think I will be pretty close.
Can we finally get mixed zoning??
And it definitely belongs to !memes@lemmy.ml because of course Piper Perri Surrounded is a meme, and recreating it with physical objects is how it’s used.
I did Math HL and still got bored so I picked the affordable calculator on which I could play Solitaire, Tetris and Mario. CASIO calculators also had games and a friend sometimes lent me his CFX-9850+ (pictured) where I would code up Mastermind, TriPeaks and Snake in CASIO Basic, which was friendlier than TI-BASIC, as well as a manual image importing program. I later made a cable so I have them backed up to this day, I will publish them once I found the source.
Both get referred to as 2K. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K_resolution
I would prefer 2560×1440 to be called 2K5 but the industry is too comfortable with 2-letter resolutions now.
