This seems insane

Ok last one: the rarest solar eclipse of all time. Only 4 people have seen this with their naked eyes. The sun is fully behind the moon. The only faint light hitting the near side is reflecting off of earth, 250,000 miles away. And the stars and galaxies in the background, sheesh

2025-10-29T19:52:41Z

You know what's bothering me for no reason?
Up until 1080p, we referred to video resolutions by their VERTICAL RESOLUTION

426x240 = "240p"
854x480 = "480p"
1280x720 = "720p"
1920x1080 = "1080p"

But then above that, we started using HORIZONTAL resolution, but rounded

7680x4230 = "8K"
3840x2160 = "4K"

And then for everything in between, we just... threw that out?

2560x1440 = "2K/1440p" ???
2772x1272 = "1.5K" ?????????????

iPhone photography take: Photographic styles are like music EQ

Don't like the way the music sounds? No worries, that's just one of the many ways it can sound. Same thing with photo styles and tone mapping.
