Mostly doesn't matter because it's a light fuel run later in the day after track evolution, and other light fuel runs from McLaren and Ferrari had similar performances to the RB20.

There's still hope.

South Africa has been the exception.

Well yes, it's really difficult to switch when government only just managed to migrate to Windows 10 on most machines, and still uses Microsoft's document formats for everything aside from PDF.

Up until a few years ago, UNISA was still using public-facing IIS servers and SARS was paying up the wazoo to maintain old Flash applets that people used to file their taxes.

One government department managed to waste R5 million on a WordPress website that used a $15 theme.

Enshittification. WD bought out any competitors they could.

I would be down for some cajun-spiced KFC right now.

Microsoft's implementation of the feature is called Windows Update Delivery Optimization.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-update-delivery-optimization-and-privacy-bf86a244-8f26-a3c7-a137-a43bfbe688e8

Here's a short optimisation guide: https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/windows-delivery-optimization.html

Fundamentally it's not like the Bittorrent protocol, even though there are similar behaviours and the result is the same. Microsoft retains the ability to stop the network from seeding updates and has ways of only targeting specific supported configurations to receive new updates.

Very excited to see how Intel continues on their trajectory with Alchemist, and soon Battlemage.

Ah, Russian boot-licking.

I prefer keeping DRS. Aside from the reasons for its inclusion originally, I love how it gets used offensively and defensively by drivers.

Austria showed that off the most, with one of the DRS detection zones engaging before a corner. We saw some really tight and smart racing by drivers using the corner to their advantage to use DRS even if they had already overtaken the car in front of them, or conversely using it to stay ahead if you let the car behind pass you ever so slightly.

Google's Pixel Fold is pretty much what I'd like to see in a folding phone, whereas Samsung's extremely tall aspect ratio is a bit too thin for one-handed use.

Other competitors have figured out the formula for something that works well open and closed, so for the Fold type devices I'd like to see Samsung improve on the design and squish it a little, especially because it is so thick when folded.

Flip-style devices on the other hand, those are immediately cool. If the Z Flip had similar cameras to the S23, I would have considered holding out for one. The battery life on the S23 is what won me over.

Although the statistic would be insane and likely never repeated in history, I don't want Red Bull to win every race this year. Someone else other than Max or Checo needs to win for once.

[–] CataclysmZA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Checo won't be allowed to win anything for the rest of the year, IMO. If there's a chance for Max to win, I think Red Bull will prioritise that.

 

Title.

This still makes no sense to me.
