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.

Carlos doing so well to control Max’s attack.

Just like Kimi nodding off in the car.

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.

“He’s out of line, but he’s right.”

Enshittification. WD bought out any competitors they could.

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

DRS doesn’t even need to be used. Checo had the same advantage without DRS when overtaking Leclerc at Spa. Sailed by as if he had DRS anyway.

But the advantage goes away on low-speed tracks, and there’s a pattern of Max seemingly winding something up to pull out a fast lap so that they can still get pole. He will always have green or yellow first or second sectors, and then an absurdly fast final sector netting overall half a second or more over the rest of the field.

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

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.

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.

This is the basis of the ASUS warranty issues recently when they had exploding AM5 motherboards and vague text about EXPO support voiding warranty, painting themselves into a corner when they only had unsupported firmware that would technically void warranty.

It doesn’t matter that the company says “Oh we won’t enforce that rule” but they still keep the rule in place.

macOS? You gotta be kidding. Windows and Office is huge.

Just the entrenchment of Sharepoint and Outlook alone is enough to make switching to anything else a difficult prospect.

Apples to oranges. The RTX 4080 competitor is the RX 7900 XTX. The RTX 4070 Ti competitor is the RX 7900XT.

Logically the next thing to come out is the competitor to the RTX 4070, and a direct market replacement for the RX 6900 series and RX 6800XT. That should be the RX 7800.

If anything, it’s NVIDIA that has confused everyone by hiking up prices and the naming scheme.

The launcher isn’t really the problem, it’s the fact that Overwatch 2 isn’t making them any money!

This one should have DDR5-7200 support assuming the AGESA updates are intended to match future JEDEC spec updates.

Spez has almost never had the gift of foresight.

So it’s an underclocked RX 7600? Interesting choice.

Would be wild to have Intel Arc Battlemage as an option to slot in there.
