It sure looks great, but I wished the trailer gave more information as to what we can expect feature-wise. The announcement blog post is pretty light on details (new graphics engine, laser scanned maps, improved physics and VR)

I'm not sure to fully understand this paragraph:

The Australian’s protracted time in the series appears to be at an end as he admitted post-race in Singapore that he boasts no desire to race outside of the sharp end.

Does this mean he has no desire to race in any series outside of F1, or just outside of top F1 teams?

If you go for RAID, I would advise for software RAID rather than hardware (i.e provided by your motherboard or a physical car). Hardware RAID will lock you to the particular motherboard or RAID card, which would represent an additional hurdle when upgrading or replacing it.

Yes, definitely, but I also heard Charles complaining during an interview that he wasn't able to keep up with Oscar's speed in the straights with DRS.

Definitely not a magic bullet, but it certainly helped to keep Charles behind Piastri, the former not able to pass the latter with DRS.

It confirms that as long as the race is no more than 6 hours long, Alpine's Mecachrome engine won't blow up.

I recall that Acer laptops had a reputation of being unreliable over 10 years ago already, I'm surprised it had not improved since then.

Neat project! I only wished there were more helmets tested

RBR asking the right questions

PS: of course they are in a situation where every milliseconds they can gain, including by restricting their car's weight, is essential.

It took me a while to get what changed in the livery 😅 They swapped the silver for the Petronas green.

I see Amazon is trying something else for their 2024 attrition strategy.

(for those wondering what I mean by attrition strategy)

Owner of Cloud company that sells AI services tells governments that AI-powered surveillance is good.

 

The relevant part:

"So [Piastri's overtake at Monza] wasn't an ideal point in my world, but also as a team. It's not how we should have gone racing there. I think clearer instructions of how we can race each other has been cleared up."

Norris was asked if he was running in second place behind Piastri in first, that his team-mate would "probably not" be expected to give him the win and gave a clear "no" when further asked if Piastri would be handing him victories.

"In general, [the new rules are] probably for lower positions but if he's fought for a win and deserving of a win, then he deserves to win," he added.

 
 

Hello all,

As you may be aware, Firefox introduced on-device translations on the desktop a few months ago and according to this knowledge base page it has been available since version 126, but unfortunately only on some unnamed devices.

Do you know of any way (i.e. preferences in about:config) to forcefully enable the feature?

Thanks in advance

 

Famin confirmed that a proposal has been issued to the staff representative at Viry-Chatillon with the intention of reassigning the staff to developing new technology more relevant for the Renault Group as a whole, meaning the withdrawal of Renault as a power unit manufacturer from F1.

[...]

While confirming that Alpine is seeking to participate in F1 with a new power unit supply deal as a customer team, Famin stopped short of confirming whether or not discussions with Mercedes are taking place at this point, but did state the intention is to only make the change for the 2026 season – the beginning of the new power unit regulations – and not 2025, as has been rumoured.

[...]

“Of course, we are talking to different manufacturers and, for the time being, nothing is done because it’s a project… we have to follow in France, with unions, we have a social process which is very strict to follow.

“We cannot take any decision until we reach the end of that process. But, for the time being, we are talking to some PU manufacturers but we cannot sign anything until this process is over.”
