The 4k remasters of the classic Cameron films look awful. It's like someone cranked the denoise filter up to 200 and left it there.
Pretty much all dramatic American TV shows were shot on film (at 24 fps) before the digital camera era. It's why so many old shows (ex. Star Trek TNG) are now available as HD remasters, they simply go back and rescan…
Sure it is. Smart watches even do it using the simplest possible “camera” (an LED).
At least for the PC versions of Vice City and San Andreas, the originals are missing the music too. A bunch of licenses expired 10 years after release and the Steam releases got updated accordingly.
Milkdrop and Project M are both available as vis plugins for Foobar2k, on Windows at least: https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_vis_milk2
Also one of the first DOS games that had Amiga-module-style music (mixed samples) instead of Adlib or MIDI. This later evolved into the UMX system used in Unreal and Deus Ex.
Psst, you can get uBlock Origin (lite) for Safari now. Works pretty well.
Soulseek is still around (somehow) and thriving. Of course on there, discovery is more or less "check out the library of this person who had something you were looking for".
The GEP gun is ironically the pro choice to make if you know what you’re doing. All of the other weapons on offer can be found in the first level, and the GEP works as a fantastic “lockpick” even if you never fire it in…
Original iPods (and early iPhones) weren’t locked down as much. There were a number of utils that could manage your library. ml_ipod plugin for WinAmp comes to mind.
Outside of a private tracker (which takes measures to keep random untracked peers from getting on the torrent), not really. Individual seeder clients can detect bad behavior like leeching and ban by IP, but each torrent…
Not necessarily. A lot of video software either leverages the Windows/MacOS system codecs (ex. Media Player Classic, Quicktime) or proprietary vendor codecs (Adobe/Blackmagic). Linux doesn't really have a system codec…
In my experience it works ok. The "English" model actually knows a lot of languages and will translate directly to English. You can also transcribe it to Japanese and use a translator to convert to English. This can…
Pre-processing with a vocal extraction model (bs-rofomer or similar) helps a lot with the hallucinations, especially with poor quality sources.
The Vista-style minimize/maximize icons on the inner windows look way out of place, and the style changes entirely when I maximize. Can't seem to minimize a window either. Windows 10 is applying smooth scrolling to the…
Silent films used several different speeds. The rest are for telecines.
No tracker necessary, you can just use DHT: https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com/
You could do this with any terminal program. Your modem won't emit any noise until it hears a carrier tone, so you could just dial, pick up the extension, hang up the modem.
Android is overwhelmingly preferred by working-class people, in my experience. The phones are simply cheaper.
It would take a ton of work, especially for a show as long-running as The Simpsons. The original materials probably aren't even available anymore. I believe the reason they were able to remaster lots of old Japanese…
It's a travesty. I was sourcing video for an Alien/Aliens watch party (for a couple of adolescents who had never seen either) and I had to hunt down a copy of the older HD Bluray of Aliens because the 4k remaster looked…
I picked this tape at random and just got to this part. Imagine my surprise.
If you mix a square wave of one duty cycle with another of a different duty cycle, they partially cancel each other out and you get a new sound. I'm not sure, but I believe the original NES Castlevania does this in some…
It is even worse on MacOS, because Apple bundles the BSD versions of common Unix utilities instead of the (generally more featureful) GNU versions. So good luck writing a Bash script that works on both MacOS and Linux...
IME some web security gateways block the Tailscale domains entirely, presumably because it's a VPN that can bypass said gateway.
