It was always an issue I thought was too easily swept under the carpet. I think they increased it or improved the algorithm for compression. At least something as Inoticed my pictures went from being shit rez to better rez. Not like it was however. I wonder what the limit is now. I take it the longies were biggies, file size wise? Hot damn, that is poetic

Yeah those files were massive but I discovered a strange trick later on. Viewing any image inside microsoft paint, then saving it with no changes, would somehow drop the image size sometimes 90% without noticeable loss. Not sure if that still works.

I have an app on my phone which does similar. It is a paint style app and for ages I didn't think it was compressing images because I couldn't see any discernible loss in quality but the file sizes were insanely smaller. But it seems so!

Its like youtube, they have an insane compression algorithm which doesn't seem to hurt the quality too much at all. I often upload my daughters stuff to teams for school after running them up to youtube and then downloading them again. Beats trying to do video compression on my ancient laptop!

Those little critters that work inside these fancy boxes is smart.

Sometimes I think we are the little critters that work inside someone else's box, only they got the duds

Pubic lice?

Public rice. Never ever accept it
