I thought Ferrari were very bullish about their 2026 engine. Why vote to throw away all that progress?

Confidence that they'd make the best V10 engine. Also: Pandering to backwards facing petrolheads who are their main customers.

an almost 10 years old mario kart is still at full price is crazy

True but at least with physical media you can buy used.

So my question is will we ever get a proper signal from Valve saying “Yup, it’s now fully compatible with the RoG Ally”.

I have doubts there will ever be such formal announcements for devices that don't run SteamOS out of the box. With more OEMs deciding to ship SteamOS, for other devices will work better as a side effect.

don’t let yourself be scammed.

When entire industries are forming informal cartels, there is little individual consumers can do. That's why antitrust authorities exist.

Trump Tariffs have nothing to do with the Switch 2 prices in Europe. Everybody incl. Nintendo is just hiking prices because they can.

They're not waiting, they're preparing. They're currently happily building navy and air force bases on "contested" islands in the South China Sea and nobody, not Biden, not Trump, is stopping them.

What they're doing is commonly called encirclement.

Sauber

This is only the Steam client itself which gets updated independently of SteamOS.

So 4 white Red Bull cars on track. Amazing.

Why don't you just shut down the Deck? Unlike suspend, there is almost no battery drain. Startup isn't that slow for it to be a chore IMO.

April Fool's

I can count good April Fool's jokes from all my life combined on one hand.

Bummer

This won’t fix YouTube thumbnails for us, as YouTube banned all IPs belonging to our hosting provider.

Isn't there a way that YT thumbnails could be generated locally by the person posting them who's then uploading the thumbnail to LW?

Seems this is legal now. Keep this in mind, when the next video game decompilation project comes along because that's also machine-generated material based on copyrighted released media. That must be equally as legal now.

I see you’re bad at math 856 - 605 = 251 which is nearly 300kg.

F1 cars weigh 800kg without fuel. Fully fueled, they're heavier than FE cars.

If overtakes are your metric for a good car

Yes

I personally prefer fast light cars

Then follow one. F1 clearly isn't for you then. Good bye.

It’s slightly different than SteamOS as it’s immutable Fedora rather than Arch.

I have yet to try Bazzite myself but as I see it, for the average user both are essentially the same, no? Launches into Steam Game Mode and Desktop Mode is the same Plasma desktop with Discover they read about in tutorials, right?

Fan Boost

Long gone.

forced attack mode

Gen3 Attack Mode was stupid because it was a penalty, not an advantage. Gen3 Evo rules with all wheel drive under attack mode actually have the intended consequence to produce more attacks.

pit boost, etc.

Pit boost was fine. No more difficult to follow than WEC with its refueling. Pit boost's major downside IMO is that mechanics must not repair the car while it's charging, so cars with broken front wings or flat tire have little chance to catch up after the wing change with a lap down. Personally, I'd be in favor of battery swaps with solid state batteries in the side pods and mechanics would use pressure guns to bolt them off and on again, kinda similar to Nio EP9.

will get a good idea whose new PU for 26 is behind the competition.

Nobody has an idea who is behind who. At most, who is behind their own milestones.

1st 800kg is with the driver

OK, cool. Still not 300kg more than a FE car like you claimed. Seems your source is a donkey.

Was this where you got that claim.

My source is Mario Illien. If Mario misspoke, send a letter of complaint to:

    
Ilmor Engineering Ltd.

Quarry Road
Brixworth
Northamptonshire
NN6 9UB
UK

  

Anyhow: FE has no problem producing exciting races with actual overtakes in Monaco. So its means of propulsion is not the problem. If anything, in the same interview he criticized the F1 PU formula as too complicated and heavy and the type of hybrid system to be out of touch with road cars. His approach for a change this is fully electric propulsion with a very simple and much much lighter ICE as generator and relatively few battery cells. This is somewhat similar to the approach of Audi RS Q e-tron.

If you disagree with that approach, feel free to send another letter of complaint to the aforementioned address.
