  • There are a lot of steps in converting color spaces to suit people's individual monitors and in compressing files to be stored on web servers.

    Sometimes rounding errors happen. ¯(ツ)_/¯

  • Actually, every donut has a corresponding donut hole somewhere in the world, which holds the center of mass. This property of disconnection between a donut and its CoM has many interesting applications.

  • This is the reason I stopped using Netflix and other streaming sites in the first place. It would intentionally black itself out whenever it thought something might be reading the screen, or whenever I used a monitor it didn't like. It was literally easier to just find what I wanted on a piracy site.

    This doesn't even stop anyone from recording stuff illegally. An hdmi to usb capture card is like $20 on Amazon.

    Also god forbid anyone take screenshots of shows to share with their friends. Imho this "feature" has been detrimental to all parties involved, including the streaming sites. They're just too up their own asses with copyright protection to notice.

  • The article itself mentions E Ink's Kaleido 3 technology. I'm not really sure on the semantics of "e-ink" vs "e-paper", but your take sounds good enough to me. I do know that E Ink makes a product internally (maybe also externally? idk) refered to as "ACeP", which stands for "Advanced Color e-Paper", so e-ink definitely classifies as a type of e-paper.

  • One of their older color products is a traditional B/W screen with an RGB filter over the top. The problem with this is the filter tends to make everything way darker and muted than it should be.

    They are also working on newer ACeP screens that use multiple colored dye and pigment particles in the same capsule. By swapping the colors around with specific electric waveforms, they can control what the color looks like from the front. The downside is that this color swapping often takes several seconds to produce the correct color ((also the color gamut has a lot of holes))

  • Hi! Former E Ink employee here. The technology behind color e ink displays is an intricate nightmare of juggling different ink particles through a gel medium (which is actually derived from pig fat btw). It's a miracle it even works in the first place, and unfortunately higher color accuracy comes at the cost of refresh rate due to all the steps involved. Not sure how in-depth I can go without violating my NDA though lol.

    While the color tech is advancing, it's still got a long way to go.

  • Sometimes a lack of empathy can be due to a hormonal imbalance. You might benefit from some kind of hormonal therapy, if that's something you want to bring up with a doctor.

    One of my close friends was affected by something like that, and now they're one of the most empathetic and emotionally intelligent people I know.
