How would I know that?

From TFA

> Hover the cursor over the images to see the remastered VGA version. If you're on a iOS device, you can simply tap the images

Ah, I just opened the page and scrolled down, saw what looked like pairs of images but couldn't really tell if one had more colours than the other. The text didn't help to enlighten me either. But now I see the description in the intro.

How do you think I know it? I'm just trying to help you use the site and access the content, mate.

From the HN commenting guidelines:

>Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

Eh? I did assume good faith. I checked if they were wanting a serious reply because it wasn't clear, then I explained how to do what they wanted to do, even though it was already in the article.

Perhaps I've fallen victim to a regional language difference but even with the most generous interpretation I could manage, the addition of "mate" on the end of your comment left me with the impression that you were being (mildly) aggressive.

I will refer myself to my own quote from the guidelines :-)

Did you really think I was being sarcastic?
