  • Look up flipped bits

    Those are easy to mitigate, even on a hardware level… But of you really needed to you could even do it on a software level.

    Look up rounding errors

    For integer numbers… Suuuure

    Look up lossy data

    What the fuck does compression have to do with this? Guess you needed to pad your text

    Look up bit overflow

    Even a 32bit processor will not overflow unless you go above 2 billion, and even if you were using 16 bits, that’s what the overflow bit is here to indicate… And if you’re coding using anything but assembly this isn’t anything you need to worry about

    There are genuine concerns with digital voting, but you’re missing every single one of them with this response.







  • Didn’t really think about that one but you’re right damn… (Looked it up, and it depends on the bit depth etc, but it’s around 3.2Gbps for the display settings if I’m correct)… So that explains a lot

    Gigabit is capable of like 720p@30Hz which it probably should be able to fall back on, but I understand why they wouldn’t do that haha. 1080p@15Hz is also possible :)

    It gets even better, each function of the port also needs proper support from the cable. Often cables do not support the full spec of usb to cut costs.

    While the symbols in the post are often put on computers, for usb cables this is seldom done (only a few brands do).

    Source: had to find a cable that supports both DP and PD to connect a portable external monitor after I lost the original cable. (1/9 cables worked)
