Enthusiasts have found that Edge automatically sends every image a user views online to Microsoft's servers. Edge has a built-in image enhancement tool that Microsoft says can use "super resolution to improve the clarity, sharpness, lighting, and contrast of images on the web." The description of this feature is exciting, however recent Microsoft Edge Canary updates have provided more information on how image enhancement works. The browser now warns that it is sending image links to Microsoft rather than performing "enhancements" on a personal computer.

For the first time this Soviet, and later Russian TV magazine appeared on the screens in 1962. Having a satirical and humorous orientation, including elements of a journalistic investigation, "Fitil" pursued as its goal the fight against negative manifestations in the life of the country. The magazine ridiculed bribery, slovenliness, bureaucracy, theft of socialist property, and so on. Usually, it was shown in cinemas before the show instead of the usual advertisements these days.

STORY. ========================= * Russia and USSR ---------------------- - Since 1965, the VEF-Transistor portable radio receiver has been produced by the Riga State Electrotechnical Plant VEF. ''VEF-Transistor'' is an export version of the ''VEF-Speedola'' radio receiver. The export receiver is a complete analogue of the base receiver, except for the short wave sub-bands, the values of which correspond to the standards adopted in European countries. "VEF-Transistor" is a portable receiver with 10 transistors. It works in the ranges of long, medium and short (sub-bands 13, 16, 19, 25, 31 meters and an extended range of 41 ... 52 meters) waves. Detail in Russian + photo: http://www.rw6ase.narod.ru/index1/radiopriem/rp_pp/rp_pp4/wef_transistor.html (http://www.rw6ase.narod.ru/) - Since 1965, the VEF-Transistor-10 radio receiver has been produced by the Riga State Plant VEF. ''VEF-Transistor- 10'' is a portable radio receiver with 10 transistors. It operates in the ranges: LW, MW, SW sub-bands - 25, 31, 41, 49, 75 meters. The export version had HF sub-bands: 13, 16 and 19 meters, but the sub-bands 49 and 75 meters were removed in it. There were also export options for receivers blocking intermediate waves of 85 ... 200 meters Detail in Russian + photo: http://www.rw6ase.narod.ru/index1/radiopriem/rp_pp/rp_pp4/wef_transistor10.html (http://www.rw6ase.narod.ru/) * Radio receivers with two VHF bands overlapping. -------------------------------------------------- ------------ I collect interesting radios, there are several RPs produced in the 90s (early 00) with an overlap of two VHF bands. In this period, in the Russian Federation, a gradual outflow of urban radio stations began from the range from VHF-1 (64-74 MHz) to VHF-2 (88-108 MHZ). Not everyone switched and not immediately, the process lasted several years, and some radio manufacturers retained the ability to work with two bands. Yes, modern chips and devices built on them can operate at any frequency, but now it's not about modern technologies and not being able to listen to more radio stations, but about the fact that for me these things represent the spirit of the era (before the chip, built on elementary base or with basic chips).

The transmission was beamed on a bearing of 315 degrees from the transmitter in Germany aimed at North and Northwest Europe. the Beam with 100 kW erp was being used. If you want a better signal try 3955 kHz most Thursdays at 2100 to 2200 GMT. This will either be 10 kW non directional or 125 kW beamed to Europe and the Northeast. The 125 kW transmitter is in the UK and operated by a licensed private company for overseas transmissions. All reports are welcome. Best Regards and may the world settle down to sorting out Climate Change, Peace, poverty, poor education etc and not other traditional historic issues. John and the crew.
