FAQ

A wallpaper or background (also known as a desktop wallpaper, desktop background, desktop picture or desktop image on computers) is a digital image (photo, drawing etc.) used as a decorative background of a graphical user interface on the screen of a computer, mobile communications device or other electronic device. On a computer it is usually for the desktop, while on a mobile phone it is usually the background for the 'home' or 'idle' screen. Though most devices come with a default picture, users can usually change it to custom files of their choosing.

A mobile wallpaper is a computer wallpaper sized to fit a mobile device such as a mobile phone, personal digital assistant or digital audio player. The height is often greater than or equal to the width. Wallpapers can typically be downloaded at no cost from various websites for modern phones (such as those running Android, iOS, or Windows Phone operating systems). Modern smartphones allow users to use photos from the web; or photographs captured with a phone's camera can be set as a wallpaper.

One of the most talkked about games of this year must be Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Its ability to recreate landscapes, buildings and entire cities by combining AI, machine learning and actual scenery footage is simply amazing.

Sure, it has its flaws, but that seems to be part of the lure - online communities have been filled with Flight Simulator screenshots from landmarks and regular homes all over the world.
Now, a Reddit user has set his virtual flight's coordinates to 38°15′00.5″N, 122°24′38.9″W and managed to take a photo there.
Those coordinates mark a significant piece of computing history, as there is the spot where the original Windows XP background photo was taken. The photo - taken in Napa Valley, Northern California - that once was the background image on more than one billion computers has a history of its own, as you can read from here. News about the MS Flight Simulator image was first spotted at Chinese ITHome website.
