The ability to match the intended aspect ratio on your device would be nice.
How this would work mid movie I have less of an idea, might get quite distracting.

This also links in well with the inbuilt Firefox containers, I'm sure this could be replicated using profiles etc but works for me!

sum4 LinkGreat to see, I know it's controversial but I don't see any other way to move from coal and gas as base load in the next 20 years for most economies. I really hope SMRs end up being the stop gap...Great to see, I know it's controversial but I don't see any other way to move from coal and gas as base load in the next 20 years for most economies.

Short read, very different to the movie that came out in the 2000. Set the stage for modern dystopian fiction. Mixed critical reception but I personally really enjoyed it.

Do you consider the person who manufactured the camera they're using to be involved in the content creation? Or the electrician who put in the power to the studio etc.
I guess technically but it's not quite the same question imo.
Interesting question however, wonder how many things we could do truly alone.
Watched this recently on the same topic some may find interesting.
