A very nice history lesson... and a refreshing break from the juvenile humor... and in some instances... humour. I had no idea that you were a toilet scholar in addition to your other skills/knowledges!

An interesting quote from Kodak's recent Facebook post
"We’ve also rebuilt the factory infrastructure, as well as EKTACHROME E-6 processing workflow."
Will Kodak provide E-6 development services? I hope this doesn't mean that new Ektachrome will require special processing. Maybe it just means they had to restart their internal E-6 processing for testing.

They probably eliminated the need for formaldehyde.

Do you people have time for all this crap?

Unfortunately, yes.
Sometimes I hang photographs of politicians that I cannot stand in the bathroom because they move me.
You just gave me a great idea... waterproof stickers of politicians to place in the bottom of the commode. Plop-plop, piss-piss, oh what a relief it is.
The good news for me in that is that 16mm - Both 100 and 400ft rolls now shows in their plans. previously it was Super 8 only. perhaps they listened?
Now that not only moves me, it would give me great satisfaction with every success.
Had to go to the color stabilizer thread to read about it, so basically E6 still requires a formaldehyde stabilizer. If Ektachrome does with it, it would put it in line with C41 not needing it.
OT (but more on topic than Crappers) I've been shooting the likes of cheap but fresh "older tech" films such as c200, color plus, etc which are said to be late 80s-90s products almost literally. I may guess there must have been some update regarding formaldehyde being removed in C41 around 2000.
As of Ektachrome.
They mention Base differences in 120 would need extra work so seems like that would take a while to see, if we do... And it's on Acetate! The detail about 120 being not only thinner but "pelloid backed" I lost.

Instagram is what you make of it. I post a lot of film shots on there and the community is robust. I also use it as a business platform for a few projects I'm working on. It allows me to interact with costumers and consumers in ways that would not be possible otherwise.
Facebook I don't touch.
So would this be a new developer then, Possibly E7? Would it still work with E6 film?
Doesnt Facebook own Instagram?
both C-41 and E6 have had several "revisions" where some part changed. often it is just a new formula which is compatible wit the old, other times it is a change that requires dumping tanks and starting fresh. Their are also special versions for things like mini-labs as opposed to continuous processors. or dip and Dunk. if it is just the stabilizer, only one of two baths might have to change. (PE will correct me but I have a Hazy idea that in C-41 their is something in one of the middle baths that works with the final bath instead of having formalin in the final bath.)
They answered this on a Q&A post on Instagram (should be also on Facebook, but I don’t have a FB account) and said they won’t provide processing, but will update one of their smartphone apps so users can find E-6 labs next to them.
My camera-repair friend demonstrated instagram to me a while back, because he uses it. He made some covered bridge photos, uploaded them to instagram, then could search for all other photos people had made where they tagged that specific bridge. He could search for all photos made by Leica M3's, etc.
I'm sure it'd be possible to find all photos made on Ektachrome, Plus-X, or whatever, and then refine by other criteria.
Interesting and useful, but not for me.

Sure, the same way Disney owns a multitude of things. I don't visit Disney but I'm sure I consume Disney stuff quite often.
I follow some interesting photographers and film related stuff. I've learned some useful tips and have seen some ideas that I'd like to learn and incorporate. It's not for everyone sure, but it's a nice tool to have.
That being said, you've got to learn the algorithm or you'll be flooded with selfies, morons and bottom feeders of society.
We have been able to do that on Flickr for decades now.
Yeah really. I can find examples of any kind of photo, location, or gear I want on Flickr.
At a guess, Fuji films do not (and have not for some time) need formalin, but Kodak films did. Kodak redesigned things such that both products (EK and Fuji) could do without these extra steps.

You can contemplate them "at your own convenience"
Haven't seen anyone post about this before: https://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/Products/Production/ektachrome/default.htm
It seems Kodak has confirmed that in addition to 35mm still and Super 8, Ektachrome will also be available in 16mm! 100ft spools and 400ft rolls!
