By Administrator
The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

The new algorithm converts 8-bit images into vector HD graphics

By Administrator

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO, EVEN THAT they use HDTV for gaming, still keep an old TV with a cathode ray tube to play old games as well, because 8-bit graphics look desperate at high resolutions. Fortunately for them, two researchers and their algorithms can change that. This new algorithm depixelizes 8-bit low-resolution graphics and turns them into elegant vector graphics.

The algorithm, developed by Johannes Kopf of Microsoft Research Laboratory and Dani Lisinski of Hebrew University, analyzes pixels and then replaces image contours with smooth interpolation curves.

Basically, their algorithm rounds broken edges and removes stepped contours that are easily visible when the pixels are magnified. The results are pretty good, with smooth edges and with a preserved resemblance to the original graphics that look better compared to other ironing options or the simple blur used when the old game is spinning on Xbox 360 or PS3 consoles.

Of course, the results are not perfect, because Joshi's neck is a bit cut, and Mario looks like he was in Picasso's mixer. However, researchers say that although their algorithm is quite complex in terms of computing, it can be turned into a real-time retro game emulator with some optimization. (MV)

The difference between Sleep, Hibernate and Hybrid sleep options

By Administrator
What is the difference between regular Sleep mode and Hybrid sleep mode? And what is Hibernate ? I will try to explain in the simplest way possible so that everyone understands nicely. 1. Sleep When you select Sleep mode , all components of the computer except RAM are shut down to store data. So, if you do something on the computer and press Sleep, the computer shuts down and everything you did (left open windows, documents, etc.) is stored in RAM.

Subtitles for movies and series - COMPLETE instructions!

By Administrator
We often find a movie we like, but in addition to a good movie, we also need subtitles. Domestic subtitles for movies and series are available online, posted by people who voluntarily translate foreign subtitles. However, it is not enough to just find a subtitle for a movie or series, you need to "guess" the right subtitle.
