That man should be sent to Siberia on the next flight. If i go to MPESA agent and deposit some money and then send the amount to a person pale Murarandia does the recipient get the exact same notes with the same serial numbers i handed to the agent ?
PDFs offer higher quality than JPEGs. JPEGs compress images, leading to a loss in quality that you will never recover.

It reminds me of a time when Barclays could not accept my email because it read different from my name. I could not gather the energy to explain what an email is to a working adult.

Your email is part of your branding. No one is going to take you seriously if you are still using [email protected] that you started using when you discovered email when in form three. It does not look (and sound "professional").

This kind of thinking is out of step with the modernity that is the digital world. An email is just a code to help you access communication. And if you have less than 10 emails, you clearly belong to a world gone by. I had about 30 at the time Barclays was rejecting my email, some used only once to access something I needed.

Not necessarily. JPEGS can offer extremely high quality images. And it's digital storage so nothing special about JPEGS that makes them especially susceptible to bit rot.

If the PDF is created from a lossy JPEG it won't magically increase the quality of the final document.

The advantage of PDFs is they look the same regardless of what is used to view the document (phone, PC, etc). And should different people print the same document they'll end up with pretty much identical prints (ignoring printer types etc).

I think IEBC was right to convert to PDF. Different devices will use different compression algorithms and for the sake of data uniformity it's just better to convert all input to the same read-only format. Easiest, most popular format is PDF.

That guy asking at what point the images were converted to PDFs is just trolling for time.

If it was converted at the polling station its not an issue, if the conversion happened pale "back office" (this word will be made famous) it is an issue. SCORK ita align processes election by election

What I meant to communicate is, judging people on technicalities or minor details, like I was taught many years ago, can be misleading in the present day. I once needed some help somewhere and one of the applicants looked like a hip-hop star, complete with chains and sagging trousers ( I later discovered he was aspiring to be a musician). Just out of curiosity, I decided to ignore my mental rule book and give him a chance. Well, he turned out to be one of the smartest people I have ever met.

I don't think it'll matter in the end --it's not like it's humans doing the conversion. Most systems (I have interacted with ) that need you to submit scanned documents usually convert them to some other format but they don't discard the original input. I don't think IEBC system devs would be reckless enough to discard the originally submitted images for something as sensitive as this. I think that the conversion most likely happened at the server. And I also think the original submissions still exist.

You have a point...the highest paid youtubers go by names like Mr beast, piediepie, ssssniperwolf. Local banks would be lucky to even work with such people
