You mean it's a waste of time trying to gain all these achievements? OH NOES
"2k" is the industry term for an image with 2048 horizontal pixels (and 1080 vertical). It's comparable to the use of the number of vertical pixels to denote the resolution of an HDTV system (eg 1080p)
I've been watching 3D films at Odeon cinemas for over a year - this isn't their first rollout of 3D-capable projectors.
The effective resolution of a 35mm film print is about the same as HDTV. Film productions tend not to use the slow, fine-grain films that you need for recording fine detail, and the process of producing successive prints for distribution reduces the detail even further.
Also, don't forget that although the cinema screen might be twelve times bigger than a television, you'll probably be sitting twelve times further away.
So what you're saying is that those hot water systems have a low-power "standby" state in which they just monitor the mains for a pulse? Do you happen to know how much power they consume in that standby state?
It's not always just engineering laziness. At least for the UK, some digital television manufacturers need to find a compromise between turning everything off when in standby and listening for over-the-air firmware updates, which are typically only delivered in the middle of the night.
Make sure your code does nothing gracefully.
