I’d like to see Yuki given a 1 year with RBR just to see what would happen. Even if he’s a complete wash, he gets his chance to prove himself, he’s experienced enough it’s not just putting a rookie in the seat and it gives the 2nd RBR seat back to someone who came through their academy.

That being said, I almost expect 2 rookies at Torro Rosso next year. Lawson and whoever performs best in F2.

Money has been the issue since day 1 and anyone believing anything else has been burying their heads in the sand. A new team is not going to bring anymore meaningful revenue to the series. I think we can all agree on that. That means if a new team enters and is entitled to equal benefits, the payouts for all 10 other teams go down by 10%. That’s a non-insignificant amount of money that they’re in no way willing to give up.

Any series that has independent development and no BoP is going to be uncompetitive at the front. Someone is always going to either spend more money or find a trick that sets them apart from the rest of the field.

Adding a BoP would kill the sport as we know it, and restricting development even more would be bad as well. F1 is the last true open development series. The rest all died for similar reasons.

I’m not a fan, but I’m generally not a fan of mclaren special liveries. It may look way better on track and I could just be really wrong.

It’s only easier than windows if you’re used to using and fixing Linux. Windows doesn’t require maintenance and troubleshooting for the most part. If something doesn’t work, you just restart and 99% of the time it does.

I’ll add a few more

Lightroom doesn’t work at all, needing either a reboot to launch windows or a VM that struggles with performance. OSS alternatives won’t really handle the size of libraries im working with from limited experience with them.

Multiple displays of different resolutions and refresh rates wouldn’t work properly (though I hear this one is becoming less of an issue with the new DE software)

Nvidia drivers

Gonna be honest, I prefer to be in an office over WFH, despite WFH technically having “advantages”.

Home is an awful environment to work in. I get less done, worse quality and in general dislike it more. While that’s technically a personal problem, it’s not fair to say no one would voluntarily work in an office 5 days a week. I do, and know multiple other people who do as well.

WFH when you’re just starting your career sucks. Both my internships and start of my FT jobs were WFH, and it made it near impossible to learn to work with a team, get information from senior developers, get IT help if there was hardware issues and a ton of other minor things that aren’t a problem for someone who had been working at the company prior to going 100% remote, but are huge sticking points for new hires.

Seriously. They had a completely open market, then essentially signed a perpetual deal where something like 40% of gross income is paid out to the labels. It’s absolutely insane how poorly run they were in the beginning.

If they had become a publisher, distributor and/or a label, they’d be on top of the world now.

Spotify negotiated shit deals when they were a startup and they’ll basically forever be not profitable because of it.

Definitely thinking about cancelling with this. I’ve used Spotify as long as I can remember, after finally switching over from pandora radio.

Their shuffle and discovery algorithms suck so much now that it’s nearly impossible to listen to more than 20-30 songs they just keep repeating.

Add on the extra, inserted ads in podcasts, there’s really no reason to continue to use their platform.

Then again, I’m probably going to YT music, which is only marginally better, but since I pay for YT premium already there’s no additional cost

They said this about Latifi too. Antonelli isn’t ready from what I’ve seen of him in F2. This may just accidentally stunt his career if he can’t keep up

I’d honestly love to see this. He’s designed legendary cars at Williams, and he’s probably be a solid stabilizing factor for their car development.

Also let’s him have a challenge that isn’t just make the front runner faster

I expected shit, this is worse. I don’t know how they managed to screw this one up so bad.

To get the same resolution and quality of image in all lighting scenarios, cameras are actually going to be more expensive than LiDAR. Cameras suffer in low light, low contrast situations due to the physical limitations of bending light. More light = bigger lenses = higher cost, when LiDAR works better and is cheaper

I can’t remember the last time I installed something from the front page of the App Store. I’m always searching for something specific

I could see it happening if your job primarily involves talking to people sat on the other side of the desk.

I’ve found that most people on this site don’t care about copyright in any form, so they’ll just ignore it like everything else

I’m looking for live updates from race teams during endurance events, gaming news from specific creators, local traffic notifications and real time updates from sports teams leading up to games.

These things don’t typically have articles to link to, so aggregators don’t work well, and are often behind the curve. RSS has no adoption anymore and doesn’t quite work anyways.

What’s the alternative for one-to-many communication? I don’t use the platform anymore, but I miss a massive amount of news related to most of my hobbies due to it, normally relying on Reddit users to repost them. It’s incredibly annoying to have to search through 10+ social media pages to check for updates about a race team during a race or an ongoing gaming event.

Mastodon doesn’t have anywhere near the adoption necessary, bluesky still hasn’t taken off.

The problem is there’s always some crackpot doctor who will make a poor, non-medically influenced decision and without regulation there’s no way to prevent it.

The “vaccines cause autism” guy was a licensed doctor, and I think we all agree he wasn’t making medically sound decisions.
