With a hair simulation running, applying force every time you interuact. They have to justify the GPU and the best ROI is to maximize first impressions. Yes, it will make the launcher RAM-hungry and super unresponsive when multitasking but usability is secondary.
A microwave oven, no matter the dimensions, uses microwaves. If the wavelength increases tenfold, it becomes a radio wave device. Also not an oven, because it's no longer good at heating water molecules so you don't of in the cold food and of out hot eat the food.
(The half-wavelength or distance between hot spots is about 6 cm. You'll get burns of internal organs and most likely cataracts because the proteins in your eye's lens, which gets very little cooling due to lack of blood flow, coagulate at high temperature.)
Pixel purists say pixels have to be in a square or rectangular grid. Stitching is a good analog example. Yet others think that 2-subpixel "pixels" (RG and BG, alternating in a checkerboard pattern), as seen on some OLED screens, should be counted as half-pixels, like on Bayer-filter cameras (one RGGB period of the repeating pattern is one full element, not two).
Anyway, there are digital systems with other layouts:https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137757955Early pocket color LCD TVs, cameras and camcorders would use hexagonal grids similar to shadow mask CRTs' phosphor dots.
By the way, neither color CRT phosphor dots nor stripes are pixels because they're not individually addressable. In fact, depending on the beam's position, a single phosphor dot can represent a gradient, and on B/W CRTs the whole screen is a single phosphor-covered surface.
Being FOSS is not a prerequisite of E2EE but a prerequisite of knowing it's E2EE for sure. Like, I can give you a black box that prints PGP key pairs and says "includes RPGP, MIT-licensed PGP library" but you can't trust that the machine doesn't use modified, low-entropy RNG or exfiltrate the results. The communication you do with these PGP keys is technically E2EE − a third party server relaying your messages will not be able to read them, unless I provide them with the potentially not-so-secret "random" data my box generated.
But you're right: if my black boxes are also used to encrypt/decrypt the messages with "your" keys (made by them) and I run a non-transparent ssrvice that delivers the messages, there is a case for not calling it E2EE.
To be fair, we don't have any pics of exoplanets. Technically, we could measure their surface temperature and basic chemistry through spectroscoopy but I don't think they reflect enough photons for our equipment. They are usually identified by dimming their star slightly when passing in front of it. This can give an estimated size and distance from their star. And maybe atmosphere composition if it refracts! So they're not naming this kind of picture but a bunch of data with big error bars.
I wonder if some rogue hardware designer could justify this port layout on some mass-produced commercial device, distributing the message to unsuspecting buyers.
Printers (the most common USB-B device nowadays) could use USB-C for power. They never need more than one USB-A, though (and in the rare use cases the user can supply a hub if supported in software; also that tends to be on the front).
Come on, at least cowsay or robotfindskitten. I once hacked into a Linux kiosk and found the former in a "games" directory.
