Let's be part of the solution instead of the problem.
What would you call a short looping video without sound? GIF works because it's what it evolved from, is still a widely used format, everyone knows the name, and we don't really have a better name for it.
Lenticular Images allow you to create 2D photos that move: https://media.giphy.com/media/ZPJO1M6RViPT2/giphy.gif
I wonder what the limit of...well for lack of better word 'frames' that would be on such an item?
Imagine placing one of these images on machine for say telescope positioning and performing a controlled rotation with a perfectly immobile observer. You could probably get 100+ frames. Now imagine pulling it out of your wallet and playing with it the car. A dozen frames at most?
Hah, not exactly what most people think when you use the word 'print' but then again ... People have asked what is the impact of 'free' CPUs. Something Dave Rosenthal realized way back in the 90's was that the electronics for driving a display could be printed on the margins of the display and eliminate the need for a separate controller board. Having watched the evolution of displays and seeing Mary Lou Jepsen's wor…
PixelQi! Are they finally going to put out a product anytime soon, do you know? Their low-power daylight-friendly monitors are only available on eBay as far as I've found.
At least the screens are still being made.

I'm not a pedant. To me, the word "pedantry" describes the colour of the sky. Get used to it.
To me it describes excessive concern with minor details and rules. but thats none of my business tho
My high school English teacher would not have accepted "language evolves" as an excuse for things like confusing "then" and "than" and not knowing the meaning of the word "literally".

Great trick with laser cutter and black paint on the pcb. I wonder how end resolution compares to milled pcb. Also this is one of problems I have with Imgur. How to archive such detailed imgur post? I have tried ripme [1](great for grabbing image sets without addnotations), printscreen browser extensions (mixed results - most do not cope with floating menus and have problems with dynamic image loading), page saving o…
Eh, I thought this was a point where they made the wrong call. You can get a much better result for less money and less personal time invested - just wait a week or two - by sending your Gerbers off to be manufactured. PCB manufacture is dirt cheap and has extreme quality compared to home-etching your boards.

You can buy a few devices with Pixel Qi screens, but the R&D certainly seems to have gone through a few slow years. I hope they can bounce back, their screen tech had some clear strengths (low power, readable in sunlight, and with a faster refresh rate than e-Ink displays).
EDIT: Looks like Pixel Qi is no more, but a company called Tripuso acquired the rights to manufacture the displays that Pixel Qi developed:

There's a trade-off: MoreFrames vs. EasierToUse. Imagine placing one of these images on machine for say telescope positioning and performing a controlled rotation with a perfectly immobile observer.

Incredible possibilities
