Pixel shift eliminates color aliasing and moiré pattern, which brings a significant improvement for large prints. For example at 20x30" print size, it is difficult to tell the difference between a 200 PPI sharpened print and a 300 PPI with less sharpening, the eye get fooled by very small details. Pure pixel level resolution / detail doesn't play a big role because the eye sensitivity to contrast isn't constant with feature size. Sometimes it works well, sometimes I just toss the images. I've used the Topaz Gigaixel AI with mixed results. Higher resolution eliminates false colour until moire and colour bending set in, then high resolution causes false colour and moire. Unfortunately, pixel-shift doesn't work for all shooting situation, higher resolution sensor eliminates false colors in all shooting conditions.I'm largely in agreement. AI doesn't play well in presence of color aliasing (my experience with up-sampling, AI for printing). It's not so much the megapixels, but false colors due to insufficient pixel density.

Then we began to relax and felt a level of calm and enjoyment. The first 40 minutes were sat there and admired the view of the vineyard, mountains, the city below as a hawk flew by. My favorites were the Chardonnay and Brut. After the normal tastings, they asked if I wanted to try anything else, I tried a Sauvignon Blanc. They were need the sampling with a Syrah. After about 20-30 we sampled 2 Pinot Noir, again one from Santa Maria grapes and one from the winery vineyard only. After the sparkling wine, they serve you 2 Chardonnays side by side to compare, a Santa Maria version and one with all the grapes from this vineyard. We loved all the food and were really impressed with the chefs creativity and plating. Lastly they had pita triangles with a bowl of farmers cheese, orange slice, and blood orange is a light sweet sauce at the bottom. The wings were a nice large size, perfectly cooked, with a sweet sticky sauce which was perfect. There was jasmine rice perfectly cooked and a white bean coconut curry with peanuts (they do ask if there are any food allergies before we started). The salad was butter lettuce, mushrooms, edamame, and cucumber slices with a light flavorful vinaigrette. Santa Maria has an overwhelming number of dwellers of Hispanic origin. The food is brought out all at one tapas style which we love. Santa Maria is a large city in California, located 180 miles northwest of Los Angeles. It was absolutely beautiful.Ī dedicated experience host walked us through the wines and food over the next 2 hours. We were seated on the patio overlooking the vineyard, Santa Maria, and the vast mountain range. We were greeted right away and given a glass of wine at check in, it was a brut sparkling wine which is now one of my favorites, It is easy to navigate where to go with the signs and the parking lot is right at the venue for tasting. When you first pull into the vineyard you drive through all the grape vines for what seems like at least half a mile up and down hills, it is beautiful. This place far exceeded all my expectations.

I think I was 15 or 16 at the time, and I sucked so badly at this game. ![]() I didn't know about it when I walked into the store, but once I saw Square released a new PS1 game I was all in. I got this game shortly after it was released. ![]() How about you guys? Did you play this game back then? I remember the Factory music and I can just listen to it all day. I can remember the number of times I would do a New Game Plus and finally easily beat all of the bosses compared to the 1st time I played it. Maybe it was because it was released towards the end of the PS1’s lifespan, or maybe it was because it was overshadowed by other games at the time.Īnd that's a little sad. The characters are also both recognizable and relatable, the plot is also really good.īut even with all of this, the game never really got the recognition it deserved. But other than those two games, nothing else at least on just the PS1. The only ones I could think of maybe is Brave Fencer Musashi and Threads of Fate. The game's mix of action and RPG features really sets it apart from other RPGs of its day. Although I'm aware that it's not the best known game available, it's one of the PS1's overlooked hidden gems. Hi guys!

![]() EU and national laws do nothing against it, as always the biggest portemonnaie will make the laws instead. Do you know those Apple admins in person? Do you really want to trust unknown persons? This all makes no sense at all. You probably would never know that your data was hacked and used. This is not only a very comfortable open gate for secret services like nsa, but also imagine if icloud was hacked. Not a single average mac user knows that his movements are tracked and uploaded to icloud by default, most people do not realize that the whole keychain will be uploaded, too, with all your passwords. I think not even Windows runs like 400 background services.Īlso it is not at all respecting neither privacy nor constitution laws. Instead constantly adding more and more bloatware and surveillance services to macos just like Microsoft, they really should rethink their strategy and macos better again. Same goes for, only needs to stay activated, because otherwise the disk utility refuses to apply changes to your drives, due a crytic error “cannot access findmymac”. Also seems to prove the low quality assurance in Apple macos and poor testing practice at Apple… Kind of annoying that Apple never tested how the system works if Bird is disabled. If you want to disable icloud, Apple Bird only needs to be activated to get rid of a warning requester, which appears all the time if you file requester your drive. Didn’t dive into that, but it seems to be a very powerful command now. ![]() Launchctl also seems to be able to disable services and XPCs from apps. # prevent diskutility warning '' \įor daemon in launchctl bootout system/$ # To revert, delete /private/var/db// ist and and reboot #Modifications are written in /private/var/db// ist, #Disabling SIP is required ("csrutil disable" from Terminal in Recovery) #Disabling unwanted services on macOS 13 Ventura #Credit: Original idea and script disable.sh by pwnsdx Of course you really need to know which services are what for and do research. You need to disable SIP (read script comment). If something does not work as intended, you just have to delete two files in the user space of the drive and reboot. Don’t want your keychain in the cloud available for any unknown body? Disable it. If you don’t use photos or apple music, you can disable those scanning services, too. You can also disable all the surveillance, tracking, online logging, submit-diag stuff by Apple. Also heavily reduces write access to the internal SSD, and therefore increases lifetime (apple ssds are usually produced by the usual suspects, samsung, toshiba etc, and have the same lifespan). For example, if you don’t want to use icloud at all, you can disable most of its services, except apple bird. ![]() Authorize your mobile device only once and synchronize media files with server in background.ĭownload and install DAEMON SyncFirst you need to install DAEMON Sync server on your computer then install DAEMON Sync application on your mobile/tablet device and connect them using PIN.Works on macos 12, too.Linux, Android, iOS, Windows and Mac OS are fully supported.One and only full automatic background backup with advanced scheduling options!.By default DAEMON Sync choose photos, videos, and screenshots to make a backup in the server but you can choose what file/folder to sync.

"Love 'Em And I'm Gone" copied Dr.Feelgood's groovy rhythm and overall a good track while "Steelheart" contained one of Matijevic's insane scream. ![]() "Late For The Party" and "Dancin' In The Fire" are in the same vein and both are also my fave tracks. ![]() "Sticky Side Up" is definitely a party soundtrack, check out the naughty words of ‘watches me drown in your lovin' cup', the music is arousing and guaranteed to make you bang your head. "Loaded Mutha" was given the chance to open the album, this Whitesnake-ish track puts Matijevic's magical vocal to the front, a great track but the next one is even better. This album's style is sleazier and catchier but slightly inferior in songs quality if compared to their debut. Although the effort wasn't very fruitful, Steelheart secured a safe position in Asian region with the sophomore ballad, "Mama Don't You Cry", conquered many charts there. Steelheart was heralded with an explosive fame after their big international hit, "She's Gone", was spreading like crazy across the planet, and "Tangled In Reins" was their second attempt to emulate the debut's success. A sad tale about a major talent that never really was able to find and develop itself completely, however i still find myself listening to this album every now and again simply because of the sheer magnificence in its somewhat imperfect delivery. Unfortunately the band came late in the game of glam metal and changed their sound on the second album and then Matijevic had an onstage accident leaving him and this band crippled for life. While i really love these few tracks a lot when i listen to this entire album i am always left with a somewhat dissatisfied feeling that this band never really developed their own distinct sound and personality. They really rock, are super catchy and even though they aren’t dripping with originality, Matijevic’s vocals elevate them above the styles that they are imitating. Although i have hardly been a fan of this band, i did pick this album up a long time ago and held onto it simply because i really love the first four tracks. Although the music is rhythmically and melodically pleasing, at this point this type of glam metal by the numbers was far past cliche and there are even blatant Led Zeppelin blues rip-offs as heard in “Sheila.” The power ballad “She’s Gone (Lady)” was a huge hit in Japan and is a very pleasant AOR / power metal track indeed but like everything else on this album, it just reeks of playing it safe and pandering to the teenage panty throwing audience who loves their rock stars who wear more makeup then they. Unfortunately the music surrounding these vocals is derivative in every aspect. Matijevic has the voice of a trained opera singer and even makes Geoff Tate seem inferior with his vocal acrobatics. The first four tracks are excellent which includes their best known single “I’ll Never Let you Go” which is one of the absolute most stunning successes in glam metal ballads that i’ve ever heard. The band began under the moniker Red Alert but after finding out that the name was taken settled on STEELHEART. STEELHEART may have been latecomers to the glam metal scene but they really made an impression with their eponymous debut album solely because of the stunning multi-octave vocals of Michael Matijevic, who after immigrating from Croatia to Connecticut found his place in the musical world.

These incredible kinds of expression, performance, and belonging exist in two parallel worlds, one of old rituals and traditions that distinguish us as human, and the other of body art as a contemporary art form. Then, of course, you can study and practice on your own or you can take a private class. Where can you study it then? Private make-up schools organize body painting courses, international body painting festivals often organize workshops, and many artists give individual workshops. There is no official degree for body art, even though it is surely the oldest art form in the world. Human bodies covered in paint intrigue us and catch our eyes.
