I've never seen an AI upscaled image that didn't look like shit. Even if it looked good it would still be artificial. We could go into the philosophy of weather or not a photo is an accurate snapshot of a moment in time, but think of it this way: let's say we have a photo of you. Let's also say you want to upscale that photo of you to some redicously high resolution for some reason. The AI upscaled image created is no longer a photo of you. It is an machine's best guess at what you look like in Super 14K or whatever resolution. In essence, It's inauthentic.

Best thing I ever did. I got tired of being told how I could use my computer and the spying or course.

This is what I've been saying. The gatekeeping is unreal. How the fuck are we supposed to grow as a movement if we can't accept those who maybe did and/or said some questionable shit in the past? If someone is trying to make positive changes and is demonstrating it with their actions and/or words than we should accept them. I guarantee the vast majority of you here have said or did something that goes against your current beliefs.

How do I actually read more? Like how do force myself to read a book. I have some cool books I'd like to read but it's hard to choose it over say a video game. I also have ADHD.

Damn it, I bought this game. I was hoping it would be like Endling but less sad. That game made me cry like a bitch and I haven't played it since.

Lots of Polish music:

Sexy Doll by Republika
Mówię Ci, że by Tilt
Fajki i Alkohol by Andy
Zima by Natalia Szroeder
Gdzie jest biały węgorz ? by Cypis

I gave up trying to learn Polish because of its immense difficulty. I only speak English fluently but I've taken up an interest in Esperanto.

I recall a Judas Priest song about this.

I will start off by stating I am an audiophile and I enjoy comparing differences between different pressings/editions of the same album. Brothers in Arms is one of my favorite albums to listen to. The early CD presses are some of the best sounding CD's I have ever heard.

I recently picked up a West German for Europe copy of Brothers in Arms. I read on the Steve Hoffman forums that this pressing is the best sounding version of the album. After listening, I think it may be.

I have listened to the 1985 US LP, 1985 US CD, 1996 US remastered CD, 2005 remastered European SACD, 2013 remastered US SACD, and the new 40th anniversary remaster. This original European press sounds amazing except for one issue. At the 5:14 mark on "Your Latest Trick" there is a noticeable audio glitch that is absent from every other version of the album.

I'm kind of disappointed because it sort of ruins the experience for me. This album was a showcase for what digital audio was capable of and the glitch kind of ruins that.

I wonder if maybe it was a bad batch from the factory. Maybe the master was in some way damaged. I was wondering If anyone here who has a copy of the West German for Europe could confirm if there copy has it or not. If that's too much work than understandable. Thanks for reading!
