Well, I just ripped a few of my old DVDs with handbrake, and I upscaled by setting the resolution to 720p and ensuring the "upscale" cjljeckbox is ticked.

Tovmy eye, it looks pretty good on my 55" 1080p TV, and I noticed in my voddeo player it scaled to my display size appropriately. If I imply ripped it, the video would have a hugee black box around it ony high red display.

I'd say using handbrake is fairly effective once you get it off the disk, for which I used a rip to mkv app in Linux.

Find someone in your community who has professional map tech skills. That person can get detailed map data from your municipality and upload it into openstreetmaps, and you will then have the best maps :) if you are so inclined, you can learn yourself from their site.

The reason you can't find addresses is likely because the data is not added to the maps in your region. I have similar problems here, though my state got much detail from batch updates last year.

I found a resource that merges addresses into osmand maps monthly, for north america and beyond. Even better, it does so in a way that normal address layout for north Americans can be used when searching.

Here in north america, we search by typing "255 maple street, some town 01234", while osmand expects something like " USA some town street 123".

You can download merged maps from opensupermaps.com, and find almost any address you seek, then you can navigate. Osmand is pretty good with directions, but sometimes messes up. Magic Earth is better at navigation, and has similar features to Waze. OSMAnd has much greater map detail, where people have uploaded it.

I can confirm the experiences of the OP. As for OSMAnd, see my response to the post, which i am writing next.

I use ocrmypdf, after being a bit frustrated with gscan2pdf. There is a simple ui available, but I just created a tiny script that does the ocr , deskew, etc. In one operation with wildcard file selection.

I also installed a jbig compressor that really shrinks images. My processed docs are generally 40% to 80% smaller, and it seems to get better tesseract output than gscan does.

Well, lookingvatvthe advertisements, interviews with the producers, and articles by people who saw it, I'm not convinced.

And, for good measure, this one from Time praising it for exposing "male fragility".

Um... Non_sequitur much?

Wow. This is what makes Lemmy different from Reddit. On reddit, I'd be baited to rage-post repeatedly.

Anyway, apology gladly accepted, and I'm glad you aren't the person I feared you to be. I'm willing to keep my mind open on the Barbie movie, though everything I know so far points to anti-male themes.

Did you read the tagline on this very thread? That's enough for me to make my conclusions, but add the statements made by the creators, and various reviews by people who've seen it, and I can comfortably live with my conclusion.

Oh, and your comment dripping with derision and insults to someone you don't know at all reveals your true nature. Go spend some quality time with yourself, if you can stand it.

Translation: unethical or uninformed developers are building cheep homes in flood zones and making bank.

So many people - some I know - are moving or want to move to Florida. They shrug when I remind them it will be under water within 50 years, and above 110 degrees Fahrenheit the majority of the year even sooner. Then there are the expanding diseases and parasites.

Can't fix stupid.

Lots of mentions of OpenBoard here. There is a fork that is under development now, and I am writing this with it now. It is not on F-Droid yet.

FlorisBoard and AnySoft are good, but each has enough annoyances that I come back to OpenBoard, which has its own annoyances, but for me are a bit less annoying.
