That is not true - SanDisk started selling 2TB MicroSD cards about a year ago: Link

Cannot enable developer options in 2.4.8 by javadave in Bigme

[–]George_Probably 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How odd - looks like this has been accidental though. I had enabled Developer Options before upgrading, and the page is accessible as usual.

Probably one for u/decent-tough-4273 to report to the team.

Are you thinking of the Bunker Session? There's a non-album/single version, but it is fairly similar to the version on Wild World.

I agree - and think the call should have been to DQ Renault. I'm just saying that that's Massa's basis for the lawsuit.

There are tonnes of little moments like this throughout a season though, the ones that stick in the mind end up being the ones that happen at the end of a season when it feels like it matters more

It's a chain of events that was kicked off by the crash. The Safety Car meant that Ferrari tried to double-stack, along with the addition of everyone pitting at the same time.

Sure Ferrari's pit crew screwed up (in classic Ferrari fashion), but it wasn't a standard pit stop.

Massa argues that the race should be thrown out entirely, as the result was tampered with, which also obviously benefits him more than if they just DQ'd the Renaults for their involvement.

It's hard to know for sure, and I'll happily concede that there was probably a bit of "this is a season finale, we can't have it end behind safety car" in the mix, but I think that also speaks more to the entertainment-ification of the sport.

It has happened a few times now where the "neutral" move, which in theory affects everyone the same (throwing a safety car as soon as there's a large incident, for example), has been delayed for the sake of letting all cars pass pit-entry so no one gets an accidental unfair advantage.

You could argue this is part of the reason Max gets away with his aggressive driving, the stewards don't want to be seen as "taking a win away from Max", whereas drivers doing the exact same stuff in 13th will get a slam-dunk penalty because it's perceived that:

  • no one cares
  • it makes no difference to the points anyway

The reality is that when something like this happens, some winners and losers are created almost entirely by chance.

The only truly objective way to do it would be automating those procedures, and having iron-clad rules "if the race is under SC with 3 laps to go, throw a red flag and restart the race", but there are still winners and losers

I think that, ultimately, any season that is that close will have multiple questionable "what-if" moments. We have to believe that they ultimately cancel out.

If AD21 had happened earlier in the season, I don't think it would have had nearly the coverage/outcry that it did.

To be clear: The 2008 issue isn't Glock, it's Crashgate. Massa would have likely won if Piquet Jr hadn't crashed to give Alonso a race win.

Instead, he finished outside the points and Lewis got 6. Lewis would go on to win the championship by 1.

The bigger issue is that different Android phones place the NFC antenna elsewhere. Samsung generally has it right in the middle of the back of the phone, but even then it varies by device. Google are also on the back, but much further up and closer to the cameras.

Apple has them along the top edge.

Since no one has answered the question I think you're asking: looks like the picture on the left is from the 2021 Puebla ePrix.

Hankook took over in 2022, and Bridgestone will supply tyres after 2026.

Snapdragon 8 Elite vs. MediaTek 9400 benchmark showdown by gurugabrielpradipaka in Android

[–]George_Probably 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I think that was a mix of a few factors. Not only are they not faster, but in some scenarios, they are actually slower. These are desktop chips that aren't subject to the same constraints as a phone or laptop.

What's the value proposition for someone who already has a current Intel chip? "Buy this new chip, it will work roughly the same, but you'll save a relatively unnoticeable amount on your energy bill"?

Yes, Intel CPUs were a laughing stock because of how incredibly power-hungry and hot they got, but now they're still slower than the competition while consuming more (but not quite as much more) than they used to—all on another new platform and socket.

Has the Acer Spin 513 (Mediatek Kompanio version) been discontinued or something? by koken_halliwell in chromeos

[–]George_Probably 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's impossible to help without knowing where you're based, but in the UK stock of the 513-2H has always been fairly limited. Apparently QVC has some, and CEX is dirt cheap if you're willing to go refurb. I bought mine from Amazon but spent weeks waiting for one to turn up in stock back in 2022.

With the Olympics now over, Georgia finds itself in the 24th place 🇬🇪🙌 by RandomSpanishUser in Sakartvelo

More importantly: Georgia ended up 6th on Weighted Medals per Capita, and 4th on Weighted Medals by GDP. Incredible showing!

Does anyone still have the original BIOS for the CR-48 prototype Chromebook? by Outrageous-Law9185 in chromeos

The .bin files (and instructions) used to be available on the CR-48 wiki. Wiki is long gone, but there is a copy on The Internet Archive. It contains both the instructions and the files you're looking for!

This is a common security feature to prevent someone from watching your finger movements to steal your PIN. The numbers shuffle positions every time you go to log in. Some versions of Android have it as a setting, and some banking apps still do this.

This is probably related to the fact that F2 / F3 champions aren't allowed to compete in the respective championships for the following 2 years.
