    From Tony Gamble@21:1/5 to All on Fri Feb 24 06:41:12 2023
    Noticed the 4k flag coming up on my LG OLED.

    Rare to see still these days so I felt it was worth a mention on this
    system.

    What a shame so much of the content is shot on hand held cameras so the
    extra definition is wasted.

    I'm sure they really have no idea about this stuff, so who knows.

    Not to mention that the figures in Gold don't make sense. Listen to this morning's More or Less for details. An example a man melted down 3.25tons of gold, in the form of 6,500 gold ingots in a furnace in a garden shed mixing the gold with other metals to stop it being recognised as pure old billion and then the result was disposed of a gold jewellery in one year. No wonder they only ever recovered a relatively small amount of cash.

    What I've noticed is just how light the gold bars seem to be when
    handled or loaded into the smelter. You'd never think they weigh 12.4
    kg each and can hardly be picked up.

    The gold stolen in the Brinks Mat robbery were very small bars and IIRC in boxes of six.
