Title of my dick pic?
Well written and engaging. Thanks for sharing
Extrapolating from this, a 3840x2160 image must be in the hundreds of megabytes!
Presumably that's what the compression is for.
Here the compression makes it 4 times bigger.
I absolutely love this style of blogposts! Thanks for sharing!
