Talk:3151: Window Screen

The 'standard' and '2x' sized images had unexpected sizes, so an imagesize parameter has been added to render the image consistently with other comics on this website. See the web archive for more details. --TheusafBOT (talk) 03:15, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Is the comic not fitting into the section right on the original xkcd website? Is this some kind of meta joke? 138.67.132.61 04:10, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

This is Randall's mistake. Since comic 1084 from 2012, comics usually have two versions: normal and double resolution (2x). If you read on a high-DPI screen (like a phone) or zoom in, you'll see a high-resolution version of the comic, but if you read on a desktop or laptop without zooming in, you'll see the normal resolution. In this case, Randall accidentally uploaded the 2x version into both comics, making the normal one twice as big as it should be. If you zoom in just a tiny bit, it'll look normal again. I'll add this in a Trivia section Someone already did. --NeatNit (talk) 07:35, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

I suspect Randall was inspired by the U.S. President's outsized ego insisting he deserves the Nobel Prize for Peace when he hasn't actually solved any international problems at all, and in the view of many has made things much worse.68.116.0.20 05:33, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

...and in objective reality has made things much worse. --45.143.82.106 06:52, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

I suspect all the math could have been avoided if the screen were just carefully laid out on top of the window and cut to a matching shape. Why trig when you can trace? --45.143.82.106 06:53, 7 October 2025 (UTC)
