OP makes zero comments about content generation, and the complaint is about upscaling introducing artifacts not in the original source. No different than hating a bad 4k remaster /…

From the Boston(ish) area, the Smithsonian has a 200 year old house they reconstructed from Ipswich. Really cool exhibit detailing all the different people that went through it and…

"What is the price for an experience? The price for a single trip will be €120,00. The price for a return trip will be €160,00. This is part of the total cost price based on the EA…

Boston is /very/ walkable, the whole city can be walked end to end in a few hours and Somerville is one of the densest neighborhoods in the U.S. I'll also say D.C. (and to some ext…
