Probably my favorite race of the year, even though it was only a sprint. That brings my hopes up for tomorrow's race a lot.

Doing a bit of research online, my info is slightly out of date. They used floppy disks from 1968 to 2019. In 2019, they migrated from the old 8 inch floppy to "highly secure solid-state storage". They don't specify what type of solid state storage they actually use now though.

The US nuclear arsenal still runs on floppy disks.

EDIT: The Air Force claimed they finished a migration from 8-inch floppy disks to solid state storage in June 2019, so my info is slightly out of date. They did use floppy disks for over 50 years though (1968-2019).

I think it mainly has to do with logistics. Some of the races are really close together (like US and Mexico) so the teams start packing the cars into crates immediately when the race ends so they can get to the next race on time. If every team had to have the plank check be done on their cars, some of the teams would have to wait a long time until the FIA officials finally get to their car, remove the plank from the bottom, and use take the measurements to check the legality.

The df command only shows mounted devices and filesystems. You can use lsblk to show all block devices and their partitions. To format it more nicely to show the labels for each partition, you can use these options: lsblk -o name,mountpoint,partlabel,size.

This is the output from my deck without the microsd card:

    
deck@steamdeck ~> lsblk -o name,mountpoint,partlabel,size
NAME        MOUNT PARTLABEL   SIZE
nvme0n1                     476.9G
├─nvme0n1p1       esp          64M
├─nvme0n1p2       efi-A        32M
├─nvme0n1p3       efi-B        32M
├─nvme0n1p4 /     rootfs-A      5G
├─nvme0n1p5       rootfs-B      5G

Amazon is the only seller of the Select cards. For the Plus, anyone can be a seller, so there could be fakes being sold as well. If the Plus is being sold directly by Amazon, then yes, it should be a legit card and there should be no difference.

Why shouldn't they buy the select? Isn't the whole purpose of it being exclusive to prevent people from getting fake cards?

It should be noted that the way you listed the partitions misses the dual (A/B) install method that the deck uses. There are 2 identical size partitions for root, var, and EFI. When an update occurs. The system installs the new update on the inactive set of partitions and then tells the UEFI to use the other set on the next boot. That doesn't matter too much for 512GB models like your's, but the extra ~5.5GB for the redundant partition layout can be significant for 64GB models.

IIRC, it was 20GB of OS at launch, but they shrunk it. Now it's a little over 10GB.

It takes a lot of time to do these tests, and the risk of being chosen to be tested is usually enough deterrence to prevent teams from breaking the rules. They definitely should increase the number of cars they check for plank wear now though.

They also don't check the fuel of every car, only half of the cars.

Maybe sure to replace exa with eza. Exa has been unmaintained for a while and eza is the maintained replacement.

I've definitely met people like that when I was in college. It was pretty uncommon though

An evil looking four-eyed pig face.

I think that is his main problem now. He hasn't really had a car that can keep up and overtake with cars until now and he clearly lacks experience in overtaking.

He needs to make fewer mistakes. He had such an incredible recovery until then, probably would've been right behind Ricciardo. I guess he doesn't really have enough experience overtaking other cars given how crap his car has been until this race.

That would've been driver of the day for me too. From 19th to 8th in the first half of the race. He needs to make fewer mistakes like these. Then again, I guess he hasn't had much experience with a car that can overtake others.

There are also temperature limits on hot drinks so the drinks aren't hot enough to literally melt and fuse skin together.

Yeah, I was thinking he looks like the oldest 6-year old ever.

Do you have it on Steam? It should work if you use the Windows version on proton instead of the native Linux version.

I've been using Wayland for about 8 years at this point. Some people (especially in the Linux world) are just really against change.
