Comment on Discord lowers free upload limit to 10MB: “Storage management is expensive”

  Interesting. Mine is 3840x1600 which should be ever so slightly less pixels.

  I have noticed the content does matter, is your background native resolution or mostly one color?

    3840 * 1600 * 4B / 1024 / 1024 = 23.4375MiB for uncompressed RGBA (four bytes per pixel).

    That is, even if that thing was pure random pixels and would have to be stored uncompressed and you’d use a completely useless alpha channel you still don’t hit 25M.

      I did some test, i was speaking from memory so not very accurate.

      it depends on whats on screen.

      Just desktop is 128kb but irl that rarely what i send to people.

      Just my game launcher will bump that up to 5MB

      But the 100% real experience i have is that is try to show someone a screenshot and i get a message that file size is to big so i have conditioned myself to only show the relevant half of my screen.

    I specifically opened a few apps to break up any large blocks of one color.
