I dream of AI with the light brown hair…

Have you ever snapped a photo that you thought looked perfect, and later when you were doing your editing, realized there were some more flaws than you originally noticed?

Well what if there was a type of ”hallucinating AI” deep neural network that ”hallucinates missing details to make an image look natural”?

Before you tilt your head to the side and go, ”What the hell are you talking about…”, take a peek at Let’s Enhance, an Estonia-based startup company that aims at using new forms of artificial intelligence to fill in the gaps and perfect your photography.

Got only JPEG original? All blocky noise is detected and removed automatically. Boost resolution 4x times, keep edges and features sharp and crisp. Neural network hallucinates missing details to make image look natural. (Let’s Enhance)

So you might be asking yourself, what exactly does that mean?

The app works by targeting issues like pixelation, blur, discoloratio…

The scratches are just Happy Little Accidents, and here’s how you fix them

The most fragile part of any VR headset is the place where you put your eyeballs. These lenses, regardless of type, are either glass or plastic and not particularly easy or cheap to replace. If your headset has been in the hands of many friends, family members, or even kids, chances are you’ve got a few scratches on your device.

No worries though, we’ve got plenty of helpful answers for you here on how to fix this.

Classic Portal merges with Bridge Constructor

What do you get when GLaDOS merges with a Bridge Constructor core? Bridge Constructor Portal of course!

Portals meet Bridges

Published by Headup Games and developed by ClockStone, the makers of the Bridge Constructor series, Bridge Constructor Portal mixes the gameplay of the Constructor games with the familiar assets of Valve’s Portal series.

Forget Rotten Tomatoes: Rotten Apples tells you which outed Hollywood creep worked on your favorite film or TV show.

During the holiday season, it’s always nice to sit down with friends and family and turn on a classic holiday movie.

Maybe you’re a big fan of a classic like Love Actually, or maybe you prefer a Christmas action flick like Die Hard; regardless of what your movie-loving heart desires, there are dozens of films to see, whether it’s Oscar-bait, a light-hearted comedy, or even a binge-watch of your old favorite TV shows you haven’t seen in a while.

But another thing that’s been prominent this holiday season — or this entire year, rather — has been the onslaught of Hollywood executives, actors, producers, and directors being outed for sexual misconduct. From Rose McGowan, to Terry Crews, there have been celebrities and people stepping into the light to point the finger back at their abusers.

Well now there’s a website that helps you make sure their media doe…

Your new Mac is easy to set up and use. Make sure you know these important basics after you get started.

So, you’ve finally jumped ship and entered the Apple ecosystem. Welcome to the family! We Mac users love to share our knowledge, so please join the iMore forums if you have any questions. In the meantime, here are a few tips you should know about using your new Mac.

1. Set up a backup plan for your Mac

No matter how much you store in iCloud, you should always back up your Mac. Time Machine is the easiest method, but there are other plans that might work better for you. The choice is yours.

2. Sign into iCloud

Festive Pikachu has returned and brought Pichu and Raichu along for the holidays. Get ’em all now!

Pokémon Go has brought back its special, limited edition holiday treat for players around the world — a festive (Santa hat) Pichu, Pikachu, and Raichu!

What’s new with Santa-hat Pikachu? 250 Stardust?!

250 Stardust! For 2017, Pokémon Go has brought back the original festive hat Pikachu but with a twist — it now has Present as a fast move and awards 250 Stardust when you catch it!

Can you TM Santa-hat Pikachu?

You can currently Fast TM any old Pikachu to get Present but you can’t Fast TM to get anything else. You’ll get Error 21 instead. This might be a bug and, either way, should only last as long as the event.

How long is Santa-hat Pikachu around for this year?

Pokémon Go hasn’t said!

Will the holiday Pikachu spawn?

You bet. They won’t always show up on Sightings, especially if there are a lot of PokéStops nearby, but if walk within 40m,…
