Hola @jotakrevs, super post ! I will give a try to your modified notebooks for sure. Thx for the mention.
A question : Assuming you get a colab pro from spanish IP, did you get any roadblock to get access or did you had to fake your country ? I did not try as my country is not listed...
Hi, @lavista
A note for esrgan, there is a slow free usable demo at https://huggingface.co/spaces/akhaliq/Real-ESRGAN. Can be useful when you're out of quota on colab.

Hi @dbddv01 ,

Hi Lavista, well i'm fine and discovering your cool artwork.

[jotakrevs]

Hope the notebooks are useful for you, I'm glad you liked them!

A question : Assuming you get a colab pro from spanish IP, did you get any roadblock to get access or did you had to fake your country ? I did not try as my country is not listed...

I just faced that issue. Colab pro is only available in USA, so when you try to get a pro account, it asks for an USA zip code. But that's all, they don't ask for anything else, you just need to put there a USA ZIP code. They don't seem to be checking IP's although it may happen eventually... Hope they leave me in peace lol

From this stackoverflow post:

If you really want to, you can. If you input a zip in the US it will allow you to buy it, but with TAX.

If you choose 03222 or 97222, there will be no tax charged.

Beware: This is against the agreement that you will not pretend to be in the US. So, do it at your own risk. They might terminate your subscription any day.

About Colab quota, for both free and pro users, is a quota based in google accounts, nor IP's. What I was doing before get pro version, was just to switch to other Google account, when I ran out of usage time. With 2 accounts one can cover almost all the day (unless you never sleep).

But is good to know that there is a webpage offering Real-ESRGAN. Lol is the same of Dall-e, but never noticed until you linked it in your comment.

Regards and grab your !PIZZA!

Cool. thx for dedicated answer. I also use the "two accounts" trick for extended time ;-) but getting a decent gpu is the main driver to get the Colab pro. Will think definetely think about it.

[jotakrevs]

Get pro is a very substancial change, I think the 10$ month account is worthy. After they got ride of the thousand of bots, now I'm getting again T4 and sometimes P100 GPU.

Cheers!
