    Well, at least you could be fairly certain it would be more easily identifiable than microsoft's_stuff_that's_named_so_long_it_often_cuts_off_inside_the_"Modern"_Control_Panel_App. [image]

    Wrong extension for the missing images. Just change to .png:

    Wow, the article is live with the broken images o_o

    Yeah, Mark must have figured we all need more irony in our day.

    Can someone explain why http://thedailywtf.com/images/15/q4/e191/Pic-6.jpg is rendered upside-down if displayed alone in the browser (or with some image display programs) but in the right orientation when embedded into a html page (or with some other image display programs)?

    That different image programs do that is not so strange - they might handle embedded metadata differently or not at all, but why does the browser handle embedded images differently?

    (Tried with Firefox, Konqueror, Chromium; Opera shows it both times in the correct orientation.)

    at a guess.... EXIF rotation info.

    some of those programs respect it and rotate the image 180, others don't and show it as is.

    which is which would require investigation that i can't be arsed to do right now.

    Assuming 12 then, because Chromiclone shows it upside-down.

  • (disco) in reply to accalia

    Can confirm. The EXIF orientation tag is set to 3 (upside-down, or "start from lower-left" in EXIF-speak). This all but guarantees it's going to bork up in exceptionally random places.

    Some amusing thing I found after a couple of seconds of googling: http://www.daveperrett.com/articles/2012/07/28/exif-orientation-handling-is-a-ghetto/

    So, my userscript used to do that... apparently I wiped it out by mistake when I wiped out the CS-specific and started writing Discourse-specific. Oops. Time to fix...

    // detect whether images have loaded correctly and if any are broken try changing the file type
function checkImgs(e) {
    function fixImg(img) {
        var ext = img.src.split(".").pop().toLowerCase();
        ["jpg", "gif", "png"].filter(e => e != ext).forEach(e => {
            var i = document.createElement("img");
            i.onload = function () {
                if (this.complete && this.naturalWidth) img.src = this.src;
            };
            i.src = img.src.split(".").slice(0, -1).concat(e).join(".");
        });
    }
    
    if (e) {
        [].concat.apply([], e.querySelectorAll("img[src^='http:\/\/thedailywtf.com\/']")).forEach(img => {
            if (img.complete) {
                if (!img.naturalWidth) fixImg(img);
            } else {
                img.onerror = fixImg.bind(this, img);
            }
        });
    }
}
window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
    checkImgs(document.querySelector(".article-body"));
});

    If you use git just use the concatenation of all the commit md5's for the commits that made the update.

    Yes, that's the last one that would run on 32 bit Linux (afaik)

    second one isn't a WTF. that's a google play or a project fi order, and that's just the format of order number they use.

    The one about Windows update is actually one of Microsoft's recent snafus: http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/09/nerves-rattled-by-highly-suspicious-windows-update-delivered-worldwide/

    This site is like Ned Flanders' T.V. "500 channels, all blocked!"
