    My nephew immediately uploaded his newborn into one to remove watermarks from the hospital’s $400 (?!) paid digital photo package.

    🤦

      WTF on doing that but also WTF on needing a photoset from a hospital, don’t you have mobile phones yourself to take your own pictures? And on that $400 dollars for a set of photos, that’s just normal on par for a US hospital to extort their patients, this is the US, right?. Then the hospital still adding watermarks on said $400 dollar is also just normal if it’s a US hospital, all about the money

      You can do this locally so fucking easily assuming you have a video card that isn’t complete shit.

        And most people are not computer technical and have no idea how to do anything like that.

          And also most don’t have decent video cards, so even if they learn, they can’t do it.

            I’m a computer professional, I run an it company where I build from scratch, entire networks, I install 250k dollar Cisco equipment. The only pc I own is a small 11 inch windows 11 laptop that I keep in my backpack for work. I prefer getting on my x box and switch, I have a nice phone and excellent tablet for browsing and videos, I can use gimp decently, but I just prefer being off my pc at home. So even since of us that know how to do this, don’t care enough to, haha.
