I can imagine the photographer saying: “... Heh, my photo was just way too good for your phone.”

If this happened a decade ago, there would be creepypastas, news coverage, and a song parody.

Imagine spending hundreds of dollars on a smartphone, only for a pixel to destroy it

[talagaqui]

the fact that this is a issue so rare there wasn't even something coded to fix it

I love how detailed this explanation was. No clickbait to be found here

[pranay_prince]

Imagine being the photographer.
Waking up one day to realise his photo is all over the internet for the wrong reasons.

Why am I being recommended this video four years later? 2024 anyone??

So you're saying that you can break the Google Pixel with a...



Pixel?

[renarsminkevics]

Big F's for the photographer, who just wanted a cool looking picture

[matthewrease]

Imagine an 800+ dollar phone getting bricked because of a single pixel in an image.
That would be a crazy reality to live in...
Oh shit.

This is why when you program something you use "else-if" for every alternative option you think is possible, reserving "else" for some sort of failsafe or reset when something happens you never thought would be possible in the first place. People and computers both have an amazing knack for finding the exceptions you never saw coming.

Honestly feel bad for the photographer, he wanted people to like it, not to be blamed for breaking phones qwq

Person: Puts Wallpaper

Just 1 pixel: *Im about to end this phone's whole Operating System*

[nicholascurry]

Imagine if someone went to a phone store and put this on all the phones

[strawberryTHEEOffishal]

the left side of my brain: PUT THE WALLPAPER ON!

my entire body: BRO YOU JUST GOT A NEW PHONE DON'T YOU DARE DO IT

[yairratner]

I feel really bad for that poor photographer who just took an image of a nice landscape, and accidentally broke lots of phones because they edited the photo to make it look better.

EDIT: I changed "he" to "they". Y'all need to find something else to do instead of fighting for seven months over a random YouTube comment. Come on...

[heyhuman]

I now have to physically restrain myself of applying this to my phone

[Saroku]

"Lost my phone, don't lose yours" thats a very rational advice.

I have a decent understanding of color spaces and rgb, but this was hands down one of the most interesting videos I've seen in a long time. Great explanation, and it's crazy there weren't guards in place to prevent this!
