Can I say LOL? LMAO, even.

So you’re saying there’s a market for lead lined PC cases? 🤔

Not even adding some watermark? smh

Me too, I pee every day.

Whoever thought of it first should’ve been BruTallyXterminated.

Tbh I wouldn’t trust any app, not even Google Maps, for anything beyond location: work hours or menus can change at any moment, and unless the owner updates them you can’t really trust em.

What the fuck?! TO ALL USERS, ABANDON SHIP! I REPEAT…

Ooh, this could be really for me. I have one of those but never used it much, but I hated the idea of it sitting there doing nothing, and loved the size and shape; this lead me to think of repurposing it but my meager knowledge of Linux tinkering stopped me before even starting.

Many saw “end of support” and thought windows would stop working, which is good, but also kinda dumb.

Sorry but it’s old, dude… now you have to update it adding the steps for ID check, facial recognition and government approval.

The first part looks like two separate sentences 😁

You’re welcome, glad I could be of some help!

Okay, here’s what I’ve found.
First of all, I use vanilla Firefox on windows 10, only extensions installed are AdBlockPlus and Privacy Badger, but even with those turned off and Firefox’s own Tracking Protection set to Standard instead of Strict doesn’t change the result. However, what I had missed is that ICO is the only conversion that works: it’ll take about a minute instead of the couple of seconds of the other cases, generate a file with huge size confronted with the original, but it will let you download an ICO file. Tried it on Edge, and every conversion works normally. The no-extension quirk for the Default option is still there, though.

This is what the Firefox console shows, from page load to the end of the conversion:

Input file: File` { name: “sample2.heic”, lastModified: 1750180660057, webkitRelativePath: “”, size: 351970, type: “” } compression.js:43:11 File type is HEIC: image/heic utilities.js:7:13 Input image file size: 0.336 MB compression.js:144:11 Settings: Object { maxSizeMB: “0.336”, initialQuality: 0.8, maxWidthOrHeight: undefined, useWebWorker: true, onProgress: options(p), preserveExif: false, fileType: “image/webp”, libURL: “./browser-image-compression.js”, alwaysKeepResolution: true, signal: AbortSignal } compression.js:161:11 Preprocessing HEIC image… compression.js:186:11 Optimizing “sample2.heic” (0%) compression.js:119:13 Optimizing “sample2.heic” (5%) compression.js:119:13 Optimizing “sample2.heic” (10%) compression.js:119:13 Optimizing “sample2.heic” (15%) compression.js:119:13 Optimizing “sample2.heic” (20%) compression.js:119:13 Optimizing “sample2.heic” (25%) compression.js:119:13 Optimizing “sample2.heic” (30%) compression.js:119:13 Optimizing “sample2.heic” (99%) compression.js:119:13 Post-processing… compression.js:223:11 New image extension: webp utilities.js:144:11

No, not in a new tab. I meant “display” as “it’s shown in the processed images list”. I upload the heic image, it gets read and compressed, and appears in the processed images list, as it should. But when I click the download button, I get the Firefox dialog to download a jpeg image, and if I proceed, I DO download a jpeg image. Regardless of the conversion format chosen.

(Other little quirk, if “Convert to” is set to JPEG, PNG, webP or ICO, the converted image will be shown in the processed list with the corresponding extension, but if set to Default, it’ll show as FILENAME. without extension)

Gave it a try by unzipping and running from local index.html, and fed it a 4000*3000 HEIC photo (converting that kind of pics when someone sends them to me would be my main use case) but it has this weird bug that, no matter what format I select, it takes like a couple seconds to convert, it displays that an image of the selected format is ready, but when I click the button it presents a jpeg pic to download. Same happens on mazanoke.com Using Firefox 139 on win10 if that helps.

I thought so too, but can we really tell the difference?

The irony is that you have to thank Microsoft for it.

Or they’re doing it on a Diamondmax 9.
