I disagree that it's only on a micro scale. If you look at the picture of the parrots it completely changes the black/white pattern in the face of the red parrot and if you look at the picture of the green bicycle where the luggage rack attaches close to the center of the rear wheel, it's completely mangled, in contrast to the more "blurry" picture where you can clearly see the bolts where it's attached also the rods going from the wheel hub up to the luggage rack also looks very jagged and weird whereas they look fine in the blurry one. There are certainly other errors as well but those where the most jarring I Noticed at a quick glance. I don't think a compression algorithm that does this poorly on cherry picked examples are going to fly when you start throwing real pictures at them. If you are going to screw with the ground truth I bet you could get better results by throwing the blurry pictures in one of those "AI" upscalers.

This information is incorrect, I would know since Windows is the only platform I use BankID on. The app was updated just a few weeks ago as well, so fully deprecated is not how I would describe the situation.

Northern Sweden hasn´t really had that great a summer, colder July than normal, the far north of Norway seems to have had a good summer though.

If the paint is still intact in the damaged area you could look up a shop specializing in paintless dent repair or PDR as it is sometimes abbreviated.

I doubt you will get a link and if you do it will not be from a reputable source.
A group calling themselves "Återställ Våtmarker" did glue themselves to a road in Sweden and an ambulance was delayed for a few minutes, however nobody died. The people responsible are charged with sabotage, not manslaughter.

I know you insist that it was a win32 game, but apart from that Aliens: A Comic Book Adventure seems to fit your description really well, even down to the blue disc.

How strange. Growing up in sweden we used to put wild strawberries on straws of grass. It's a simple way to hold multiple berries without some kind of container and without risking crushing them. A quick google search for "smultron på strå" turns up loads of pictures so it seems to be quite a common occurrence. I've never really considered that the word strawberry could have a different origin.

Supposedly a lot of topology problem is fixed in realthunders fork. https://github.com/realthunder/ https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD_assembly3/releases
I haven't had time to look into it myself, so I can't comment how well it works, but people on other forums have suggested that it's more stable than 0.18.4 so I intend to try it out when I have some time.
