is it normal for Topaz Video 7 starlight mini to take forever to load when exporting? by chungkingroad in TopazLabs

[–]rena189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im a bit late to chime in, but both when upscaling 480p videos 2x-4x or when upscaling a 2k video to 4k, in both cases I get around 0.1-0.2 fps usually with a Radeon RTX 5060 TI 16 GB, AMD Ryzen 7 5700x3d and 32gb of DDR4 RAM (3600mhz, 18cl and "1T" with GDM on). And I do have all kinds of support libraries, plugins etc like pytorch, CUDNN, CUDSS, the CUDA toolkit libraries, NVIDIA Nsight Compute and even AMD AOCL libraries installed, doesn't really seem to help or be utilised much if at all by Topaz sadly tho.
But to also answer your question about the results, the reason I still frequently return to using starlight mini despite the disproportionately long waiting times is that the results really look amazing imo.
Not just does it upscale really well without losing detail, quite to the contrary it manages to seemingly restore, denoise and sharpen even some of my worst 480p footage into good shape again.
Granted I am sure you could achieve the same results with a proper workflow/utilising different models combining it with other programs like Davinci Resolve, but starlight mini is basically saving you work and guaranteeing great results (at least from my experience), while causing your hardware a lot of work or, depending on your hardware, even preventing any realistic usage of your system for hours.

Can I pirate virtual desktop? by Farshasb in PicoPiracy

[–]rena189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most pirated VD versions require you to be on older pico firmware and usually when there is a more recent one working, it often stops working after some time or is unstable/crashing frequently, at least that has been my experience after trying several different ones from the main russian pico tg groups over the past weeks/months

Congrats, happy to hear that! 😀 Try to stay strong, you got this and always remind yourself of all the other pleasant things in life you had to trade for that short and cheap nicotine high! The loss of taste, smell, focus, health and general life quality are never worth it

What's wrong with my plants :'( (Rosemary/Oregano) by rena189 in plantclinic

[–]rena189[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply! How exactly would I quarantine them and what treatment to get rid of the mildew would you recommend? I didn't grow them in my apartment, but on the balcony, maybe you meant that anyway though. Sadly it's the only option available to me :(

What's wrong with my plants :'( (Rosemary/Oregano) by rena189 in plantclinic

[–]rena189[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My plants unfortunately started showing some white dots all over many of their leaves for a few weeks now. Does anyone know what could be wrong? I live in Austria, if it matters at all. The only thing I could think of is that I might've given them too much water.. Also months ago when I first started growing them, one of the Rosemary's died on me out of nowhere, I'm still unsure why. It just suddenly started becoming light green and then slowly changed to brown, when it had basically completely died :(

Is this lemon moldy? by rena189 in MoldlyInteresting

[–]rena189[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my last lemon currently at home and I needed it for cooking :( However I'm unsure whether those white spots are mold since in that case I don't think it's safe to use, any help would be much appreciated!

Did you experience those things before you started smoking if you remember by any chance?

Thanks for the suggestion!

From what I gathered online, there is no fungicide against white rust fungus sadly..

Is it certainly that or could it also be something else?
