2024 Formula 1 Season Calendar Revealed!

Really wish the organizers at tracks like Hockenheim or Sepang had the budget to host a race. So many tracks here that are simply all right, buying their way in, while truly stellar ones just wither away on the sidelines.

Very curious to see if the Chinese GP even happens next year.

Teenage racer Dilano Van ‘T Hoff dies following FREC crash at Spa

Reply in thread

The very first thing they need to do is stop running races in extreme downpour conditions at Spa, atleast for the feeder series with junior drivers.

Unfortunately, I came across a video of the crash somewhere on twitter and it’s shockingly similar to what happened between Hubert and Correa.

A crying shame that not only do lives continue to be lost, but in ways that are damn near identical to past events that we should have already learned better from.

Qualifying Highlights | 2023 Austrian Grand Prix

There is absolutely no way De Vries is making it past the halfway point this season.

Checo will probably be fine until his contract runs out (as long as he doesn’t affect P1 for constructors standings) but red bull is not going to keep him for a day longer than that.

Even Hulkenberg in a Haas has more Q3 appearances than Checo this season. That’s got to fucking hurt 💀

AppCleaner - Uninstall unwanted apps

Reply in thread

I barely download any apps from the app store, so I didn’t even know that. I just habitually do it straight from the developers.

Regarding uninstalling by dragging to the trash, that would actually be perfect if it worked exactly like AppCleaner does. Unfortunately it always leaves behind cache and a few files here and there.

All Apple needs to do is enable deletion of all app-related files when you drag the app itself to the trash. Can’t imagine it’s too complex if AppCleaner is able to achieve the very same thing as a third-party.

FIA's tougher stance will catch F1 cost cap cheats, says Wolff

Reply in thread

The reason the big teams will still have a major advantage for quite some time is because of the many tens of millions they splurged on updating their factories right before the capital expenditure portion of the cost cap kicked in. All the smaller teams couldn’t do that and were left stuck with whatever machinery and technologies they were already using.

The CapEx cap is around $36 million every 4 years. James Vowels was on the F1 podcast last week and he said he’s actively campaigning to get that number raised for a team like Williams, since that’s the only way to bring about real long-term change without actually waiting a decade. They’re still working with 20-year old tech in parts of the factory but they literally cannot update it, even if they have the funds, because of the capital expenditure limit.

AppCleaner - Uninstall unwanted apps

Reply in thread

Whatever educated guesses it’s making are pretty damn good then.

As a habit, I always give a quick scroll through all the files AppCleaner finds when I ask it to delete something and not once has it selected anything irrelevant. Been using it for many years now and the app’s performance has just been bulletproof for me in all that time.

If it works as well as it has for me, I would rather it go that extra mile and delete whatever crap it needs to delete rather than leaving vestigial files on my computer for apps I don’t want anymore.

It would be quite the bill to foot for an organisation that’s already pretty expensive to run. I don’t imagine they would do that unless there’s some serious financial incentive at the end of it, even if there is a connection there. They are a business after all.
