Topaz Labs Fidelity update + latest models


Topaz Labs released several new fidelity models across their apps. These updates focus on more natural detail, reduced artifacts, and improved consistency across different content types. The models support use cases like portraits, animals, vintage photos, and older videos. Here’s what’s new:

WONDER 2


The most precise detail-restoration model yet. Wonder 2 brings back facial detail and textures without the “AI look” – cleaner results, fewer artifacts, and faster performance.

  • Ideal for portraits and subtle restorations
  • Available in Bloom, Topaz Photo (cloud), and Topaz Gigapixel (cloud)

RECOVER 3


A versatile enhancement model that works on a wide range of images, including portraits, landscapes, and animal photos. Recover 3 delivers softer, more realistic results with improved detail.

  • Works especially well on wildlife and pets
  • Available in Topaz Photo (local) and Topaz Gigapixel (local)

PROTEUS NATURAL


A fresh take on our Proteus model for clean, natural video upscaling. It fixes compression issues, halos, and aliased edges while preserving the original look.

  • Works alone or alongside another enhancement model
  • Available in Topaz Video (local)

Check all the latest updates at the Topaz Labs website.

Apple Updates iOS 12 For the First Time Since 2023

Apple quietly released its first update to iOS 12 since 2023 to keep iMessage, FaceTime, and device activation working on older hardware through January 2027. The update applies to legacy devices like the iPhone 5S, iPhone 6/6 Plus, and 2013-era iPads. Macworld reports: The update appears to be related to a specific issue. According to Apple's "About iOS 12 Updates" page, iOS 12.5.78 "extends the certificate required by features such as iMessage, FaceTime, and device activation to continue working after January 2027." Meanwhile, the iOS 16 update says it "provides important bug fixes and is recommended for all users." When iOS 13 arrived, it dropped compatibility for the iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus, as well as the 2013 iPad Air and iPad Mini 3, so users of those phones should specifically take note. To update to the latest version, head over to the Settings app, then General and Software Update, and follow the instructions.

Apple M3 Progress On Linux: Asahi Can Boot To KDE Desktop - But No GPU Acceleration Yet

While the Asahi Linux project has made good progress on bringing Linux to Apple Silicon hardware, much of the success and in turn upstreaming to the Linux kernel has been around the aging M1 and M2 Macs. Apple M3 and newer has been a struggle but progress is being made. One of the Asahi Linux developers shared the ability now to boot to the KDE Plasma desktop with the experimental Asahi Linux code on an M3 MacBook but without any GPU acceleration yet...

Scientists Launch AI DinoTracker App That Identifies Dinosaur Footprints

Scientists have released DinoTracker, a free AI-powered app that identifies dinosaur footprints by analyzing shape patterns rather than relying on potentially flawed historical labels. "When we find a dinosaur footprint, we try to do the Cinderella thing and find the foot that matches the slipper," said Prof Steve Brusatte, a co-author of the work. "But it's not so simple, because the shape of a dinosaur footprint depends not only on the shape of the dinosaur's foot but also the type of sand or mud it was walking through, and the motion of its foot." The Guardian reports: [...] Brusatte, [Dr Gregor Hartmann, the first author of the new research from Helmholtz-Zentrum in Germany] and colleagues fed their AI system with 2,000 unlabelled footprint silhouettes. The system then determined how similar or different the imprints were from each other by analysing a range of features it identified as meaningful. The researchers discovered these eight features reflected variations in the imprints' shapes, such as the spread of the toes, amount of ground contact and heel position. The team have turned the system into a free app called DinoTracker that allows users to upload the silhouette of a footprint, explore the seven other footprints most similar to it and manipulate the footprint to see how varying the eight features can affect which other footprints are deemed most similar. Hartmann said that at present experts had to double check if factors such as the material the footprints were made in, and their age, matched the scientific hypothesis, but the system clustered prints with those expected from classifications made by human experts about 90% of the time. The findings have been published in the journal PNAS.

La compagnie EasyJet épinglée au Royaume-Uni pour un prix d'appel «trompeur» sur les bagages

Le transporteur à bas coûts était mis en cause par l’association de consommateurs Which, qui l’accusait d’indiquer sur la page «Frais et charges» de son site la possibilité d’ajouter un bagage cabine lors d’une réservation pour un prix «à partir de 5,99 livres», un tarif qui semblerait en réalité introuvable sur les vols proposés.
