Imagine, you’re washing your hands after a poop, suddenly you’re able to see yourself in the mirror, it only lasts 30 seconds before you go blind again, but for the rest of your life you know… You’re one ugly motherfucker.
Have a timer count down in their vision. Like 100 hrs. They close their eyes and the timer pauses. They have vision for 100 hours, that’s it. Choose how to use it.
Ah, I was squatting and it was becoming a thumbs down. Thanks for the clarification, I can now tell the person with the traffic cone they’re doing a great job.
If you do decide to take the plunge, much of trek has been remastered, TNG (the series that came after Shatner’s Kirk in the Original Series) for example was redone and got a Blu-ray release.
Unfortunately this hasn’t been done for others like Deep Space Nine and Voyager, which came after TNG’s run. So the community stepped in to fill this need.
I’ve gone thru many AI remasters and they have gotten better and better. Utr/Joybell used to be the best for DS9 until somewhat recently, but they have all been a little rough around the edges.
Enter DS9, Redefined; this project in my opinion is many steps above in terms of quality. The person running that project has finished a remaster for all of DS9 and is currently working on Voyager (almost done with s1 I think). If you click that link, you can check out some of the footage and screenshots they provide (shown with a slider so you can easily compare source with remake)
Join their discord, and go to the #instructions channel, there is an ftp server for all completed episodes; you don’t need to run the workflows yourself on the source eps yourself
Enjoy old trek in a more clear and vibrant experience, the first time :)
Have you compared it to other upscales? there is a 720p from icecracked that looks excellent and to my knowledge even beats redefined by a noticeable margin.

The reason for that, by the way, is that while TNG was shot on film (from which more detail could be extracted using new technology), DS9 and Voyager were at least partially mastered directly on videotape (especially the CGI effects) and thus there was no higher-quality source to pull from to begin with.
Yeah, there’s a real doughnut-hole in the '90s-2000s between when stuff was old enough to be remastered and stuff was new enough to be digital/HD to begin with. Also, I double-checked, and according to this article what I wrote before wasn’t entirely accurate: apparently the raw footage is on film, but the cut and edited product only exists on video. In theory, they could go back to the raw film and re-do the entire editing process, but it would be cost-prohibitive compared to how much consumer interest in an HD remaster they expect there to be.
That looks pretty good at first. I am a huge DS9 fan. But upon closer examination with those sliders, it looks like it’s just brighter. That’s it. Am I wrong?
It does look minimal and honestly the source files weren’t that bad. It’s just an attempt to upscale the image so it looks better on bigger screens. If you look at previous AI up scales and such there are lots of artifacts and things like that and this project is the cleanest I’d seen, but also things like stars and other small details are more clear or newly visible also
I like to watch trek on my big tv and the original source files are frustrating in that regard, so for you it may not be the same value and doesn’t make sense to replace an existing collection but for newer watchers may as well start at an improved version
Especially with the built in biases that the companies that use it build in. Try searching for anything that can even tangentially be defined as a product for sale and that is ALL your results are going to show.
I actually hated when kids would do that when I would go trick or treating as a kid. Even after I got my own candy. I saw people even grab the bowl out of the persons hand at the door and run.

This is a Harlequin Golf. A limited number of these were produced, but they actually did come this way from the factory with the different multicolored body panels.
There used to be one running around a few towns over from me a couple of years ago, but I haven’t seen it for a while.
last time i’ve seen one was 8 or so years ago, one of the guys in our neighborhood drove it. but i haven’t seen it since then. must have broken down like most german cars nowadays.
In the motherland, they only sold the Harlekin Polo. I always liked the silly idea and am glad that after 20 years of white, silver and black cars on the streets, some colours have finally returned.
Some backstory: there were display cars like this to show all the possible colours on the golf (or polo?) at the time. People liked it so much they wanted to buy it and VW decided to sell them.
