Why can @bot schedule a calendar invite based on whatever input from anywhere and @MSFTCopilot cannot do it when I'm manually prompting it into Copilot in Outlook itself?
This is exactly the kind of discussion we have with companies working with photos. AI can definitely help enhance a photo and make it look better. But once it starts hallucinating (sponsor names changed?), or pushing everything toward a beauty bias, you’re freezing a great sporting moment and turning it into a fake reality.
That should not be accepted. People, and especially kids. look up to athletes and start thinking it’s normal to present yourself digitally enhanced toward some beauty standard. Years from now you’ll look back at these photos thinking they’re authentic, when they’re just a fake reality. What a shame.
And it’s not only happening in sports photography. We’re seeing the same thing in school photography. That’s especially worrying when it involves young people. Youth are already becoming more insecure when the digital version of life looks so different from real life. This has real consequences and, in my opinion, needs to stop.
Google fue muy listo; usan los acelerómetros de miles de teléfonos Android cómo una red global de sismos, toda esa data se envía y Google logró una forma de detectar esas ondas a tiempo y enviar las alertas.
Making a great image enhancement algorithm is one of the hardest problems in mobile photography. It needs to:
- Look natural and pleasant to most people
- Improve the photo without obvious “AI look”
- Avoid weird artifacts and over-enhancing
- Work reliably across thousands of real-world scenes and lighting conditions.
We’ve been deep in this challenge for years. Really happy (and proud) to share that Viesus just won the TIPA World Award 2026 for Best AI B2B Software 🏆If you’re working on imaging pipelines, whether phone, camera, or print, you should always try us out.

Jan and I were front row at the Fogra Colour Management Symposium 2026 in Munich last week. Here's why it mattered.
You take a photo on your iPhone, Pixel, or any modern smartphone. It looks vivid, sharp, high contrast. You send it to print. It comes back flat. Most people blame the printer. The real issue starts much earlier.
The same problem hits the small bakery designing their own flyers — uncalibrated screen, low-res image, PDF sent straight to press. A genuine step forward in print-on-demand. A genuine disappointment when the result arrives. The printer isn't to blame either time.
This is the daily reality for printing companies receiving files not made by experts. Not a niche problem — millions of prints, every day.
At Viesus AG, our world is image enhancement. We work on the image or PDF before it reaches the press — recovering tonal range, enhancing detail, giving the output device the best possible input. Not a substitute for colour management. The step that makes colour management's job more impactful and the final result better.
We're also working on something new in this space. Not ready to share yet — but soon.
The symposium confirmed what we already believed: image quality and colour management aren't separate topics. The printing companies treating them as one integrated challenge are the ones whose output truly matches intent.
A real music player, a real camera, and just a phone for calls and messages.
I ditched the iPod for the iPhone years ago, but I’ve transitioned back.
I still have an iPhone, but I can’t take photos of my kid with it. It gets too distracted by all the bells and whistles. A camera doesn’t do that, they know it will only show the taken photos.
I'm so frustrated at being a parent in this garbage digital age.
I hate short-form video. TikTok / YouTube trash is just pure brain-rot and I can't stand it. I try to keep my kids away from it.
I gave them access to Spotify b/c I want them to enjoy music and develop their musical tastes and personalities. That was working pretty well. They would go onto Spotify on the XBox and listen to music and explore that space. Good for them.
But what does Spotify do? They put short form videos into their app. Now my kids are watching the videos instead of listening to the music. I have to decide if I have to take Spotify away from them (along with all their playlists) because Spotify pulled this bait-and-switch on me and turned an app that I felt good about giving to my kids into another brain-rotting platform of garbage.
Every month something like this happens. It's impossible to navigate this as a parent, even if you're largely on top of things. It's exhausting and dispiriting.
Here is the fix; you need to download it manually as it will not fix itself: download01.logi.com/web/ftp/…
It's better to use BetterMouse, since the standard Logitech software is kind of bloated: better-mouse.com
