Almost everyove knows that JPEG files can be encoded to enable several progressive steps of rendering, so that the incomplete file on its early stages of downloading is seen as blurry.

When the information of luminosity comes before the colors, such early image can also be decoded as gray or greenish (see the attached PNG; see also https://cloudinary.com/blog/progressive_jpegs_and_green_martians for the explanation). Modern versions of web browsers actually avoid this weird colours by suppressing decoding until both colour components arrive from the Web.

When a JPEG is not progressive, it is designed to render from top to bottom.

All that makes me think once again about the AVIF files.

There are experiments of making them progressive (you can run “avifenc” with “--progressive”), but by default an AVIF is so much non-progressive that it does not render (even from top to bottom) until fully downloaded.

But what if an incomplete AVIF were, in fact, rendered? What would we see then?

Would the pixels come in the same “from top to bottom” order, but in blocks of different sizes?

Would the pixels come in weird colours because the chroma comes after the luma?

Interpolating frames would be million times heavier and would require external application. Encoded stream is compressed and why it's efficient - it's the same as an archive. If you mess up something in between it'll corrupt.

Didn't see a qtddtot.

I bought a cheap second hand laptop (Dell XPS 15 9560 with a non-functional battery) for my cousin since his parents are fuck ups who pawned their computer for booze money. I've never opened a laptop before but I figured putting a new battery in can't be too hard.

Anyway, this is what it looked like when I popped the back off.
Am I right in assuming all that pinkish-grey stuff between the fans and the (I think) vents from the heatsink is dust that I can safely brush off with a toothbrush or pull away with a pair of tweezers?
Right now my plan is brush away the worst of the dust then just blast the whole thing with a can of compressed air. Is there anything I should know before that? Any parts I should be careful of?
Anything else worth doing before I hand the laptop over to him? There's some brown gunk that's hardened on the inside of the laptop case, maybe thermal paste? Don't know if that's worth replacing.

>>
>>106869100
Others talk about things that break, but obviously there are old programs that still work perfectly 20 or 30 years later and they are also abandoned. I think that people want to believe that there is somebody on "the other side" that is their little slave and making their software work for them, and if it's clear that these "little people" are not there then the software feels dead to them.

we are so back. I never doubted.
