I miss Flash for vector reasons, both for animations and games. My internet is still slow enough to matter, especially with streaming speed/stability issues.

WebGL is a thing but a bit of a mess, especially downloading. Ruffle or using Wick editor are options... but even Newgrounds doesn't highlight this (unless you find it first and go to info page from there). I assume most animators just render their animations now.

Have tinkered with vertex color (untextured) models in Godot, I see workflow possibilities there (also for 2D to a lesser extent) but good luck if it's gotta be me. Some chunk of development is also different from the content it allows.

Does the water give fish arms and legs?

Actually scratch that it don't matter. How much river water do I have to drink until my pollution stops? Or maybe not if it makes me piss more. Isn't that pollution? Some kind of sick game you're pulling here, buster.

Get me out of here. I already use FOSS*, tell me what license to use and I can also do testing (both bug reports and medical/biomech stuff).

I know, probably not even close to a real option. Same as it ever was.

* Godot, Blender, Krita, Linux etc

This seems to be an issue with most new cards.

AMD because it isn't full-width PCIe connection (x8 or even x4) so you have less bandwidth on PCIe 3.0.

Intel Arc has a reliance on ResizableBAR but also some issues caused by less-new CPUs (which I assume is some graphics pipeline thing).

Are loads of people using mtb downhill tires (on roads?), or something with a better formulation and less aggressive tread? Longer-lasting tires is a clear incentive.

Knobby tires on a truck/jeep to fetch groceries seems like the same issue but worse. Though either way, IIRC this is a bigger issue when tires are brand-new.

I think you are underestimating how much power/friction is going into that much rubber on vehicles that are thousands of pounds empty and can go 50mph+ and the braking force needed too (which also creates dust). It's an entirely different scale, especially oversized trucks and semitrucks.

I have a dust-covered 3D printer because I bit off more than I could chew with an extruder upgrade. I actually mostly got it installed, to the point that I needed to tune the extrusion rate... but then I wired the fans wrong (because I wanted a 2nd fan) and gave up after that (I also have some chip that might be for the 2nd fan, but no idea now the change in firmware for it). Particularly because of the annoyances I already had (slicers not handling mechanical tolerances, heat, print time, material cost, print software in Linux, the idea of fumes, endless upgrades etc).

Stuff is probably better now, but I have whatever the other side of sunk cost fallacy is. Sunk ship fallacy? Plus not so big on the idea of plastic.

I could probably trade my printer for a smaller/newer one, but I don't know anyone (sparse area) and no car. At one point I had hopes for the Peachy Printer but that turned into the co-founder's house (and resin is even worse with fumes and cost, anyway).

Other than that would be the PS3, because mine got the YLoD (I fixed it a few times until it overheated). I have another I traded for back then (it had a broken disc drive, I swapped mine in), it still works but the thermal paste is probably dry (or at least the fans spin up easily and keep running, I have no idea if it's running too hot).

Spew is probably the qualifier there, referring to how the amount of particles is tied to vehicle weight (similar to road wear). A heavy e-bike probably sheds more than other bikes, but also probably still significantly less than even the average truck (to the point bike vs ebike is probably negligible in most cases).

Well, also even a fat-tire ebike has a significantly smaller contact patch than most cars (edit: perhaps even smaller when compared to one car tire).

I don't like the idea of needing to lower the seat post to work as the foot. Unless seat adjustment is different, like some sort of stop.

Similarly, with my folding bike I tend to fold the handlebars down OR fold the frame but not both. Some of that is the design of mine, but really I only care about making it compact in 1 dimension.

Not great headline, though article itself does say 'in perspective'. My ebike was half that (years ago on sale, now no longer sold) but also almost double the weight (though also with gears, double capacity battery, 1-size-up wheels).

If I had anywhere to go, I expect it'd take a multi-step plan and living on a boat for a while.

Though I'm a shut-in in a sparse area and have too many issues, so not sure it's likely someone would pick/help me.

I don't think I have any federation issues (at least directly), but yeah I don't get replies probably because what I post is too niche. On 3 posts so far at least (~8 upvotes each) in 3 different communities.

Well, looking back most anything I post is probably doomed this way no matter the instance, unless maybe it's something more general or eye-catching on a bigger community.

Not 100% sure but it also seems like the video in OP's screenshot (and other videos for said movie) is fake widescreen (bars baked into the video at 16:9) which makes it worse for actual widescreen displays. This may be OP's issue.

EDIT: in some cases an extension/plugin may work. One I saw mentioned is Ultrawidify, though it will probably heavily depend on how you are watching (for instance if you have the file, something like handbrake might be able to auto-detect this and crop as well if you're willing to do that). Though actual aspect mismatch will be a bigger issue depending on how often details will be cut off (crop/auto-zoom is a thing, better for a repeat watch or if you can quickly change it if needed).
