Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

"Revive" ancestral photos with this free app

"Revive" ancestral photos with this free app

If a picture is worth a thousand words, how much is a video worth? So if the video lasts 10 seconds then it is worth 300,000 words considering that the video has 30 FPS.

Now imagine having a video of your ancestor? You'd love it, wouldn't you? Well, if you have a picture of that person, you can make a video from just that one picture!

How? Artificial intelligence!

Deep Nostalgia is a tool developed by the company MyHeritage, which is known for its service for creating and merging family trees - which I wrote about.

They made several AI tools that focused on old images. They recently created an AI tool that enhances and colors old black and white images. Now they have gone a step further and made one that converts an image into a video.

Deep Nostalgia

How does this tool work? Unlike most similar ones, this one works very simply. All you have to do is create a free MyHeritage account, upload the image and wait for the tool to download the video. The result is amazing!

The strongest feeling for me was when I watched the first video - as if that person was there, alive.

In the example above you can see what it looks like. You have more examples and frequently asked questions on the tool page itself.

They don't normally insert audio into the video for the reason that someone wouldn't make fake videos (DeepFake), but they made one purely to show what the tool can do.

If you want to "revive" the photos of your ancestors, you can do it HERE. By the way, you can process only 5 images with a free account. If you want to process more images for free, then you can use temporary mail addresses, and if you forbid it, then you can use this method.

Samsung puts a camera under the screen - Notch is not needed!

Notch is the biggest flaw of smartphones today - period. For the vast majority of users, this is the main reason why they do not buy a phone, as well as for me. But Samsung has found a solution. True, Notch is only a transitional solution until companies find a way to place all the components on the front under the screen. Users demanded bigger and bigger screens, and smaller and smaller phones, so Notch was the only solution. Although it is present in many smartphones today, it is not generally accepted. Moreover, it is considered a flaw .
