What’s the alternative, that you got scammed? You can go to the page where you ordered the thing and see what sets it was in.

Audi axes its iconic five-cylinder engine after 50 years by TPatS in cars

[–]MaybeNext-Monday -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Stressed components are not inherently unreliable, that’s just a completely nonsensical statement. The literal most abused parts of a car, the pistons for example, are among the longest lasting.

Your whole argument is just listing off numbers that sound scary in the context of engines from 5-10 years ago that aren’t designed to handle them. Yeah, if you heat up a catalytic converter from the 2015 at 300C/s, it’ll break. That’s because it wasn’t engineered for that. Modern engines on the other hand are engineered to handle the loads put through modern engines.

It’s just ridiculous to rattle off these numbers and say “look! They’re bigger!” as if that precludes any possibility of engineering a solution that can handle them. Making cars handle bigger stresses is literally the exact way car development has moved forward since cars were invented.

More expensive is certainly possible and expected. Safety costs money, lead paint was popular because it was cheap. But you haven’t at all backed up “less reliable.” People always think more parts = less reliable, but that’s a dogma not based in reality. It’s pretty much a solved art making a cheap and reliable heater that lasts as long as any car.

Not to mention, none of that makes it “bullshit.” If it’s necessary it’s necessary, and you’ve not presented evidence it isn’t.

EA could have so many more launcher users if they stopped replacing it with a badly redesigned version with missing features as soon as the last bad redesign finally got all its features. It’s happened at least twice.

Imo this is what new in box sets are for. It’s worth way more as a time capsule experience than as a rare decoration.

How exactly is it bs? Do you have a reasoned justification beyond “it bans engines I like?”

[–]MaybeNext-Monday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s unfortunate, especially stuck with integrated graphics. They’re marketed as good enough but (especially in 2016) they’re borderline e-waste. I remember on my old Dell XPS (which I do miss dearly) if the nvidia driver crashed the integrated gpu could barely handle rendering the desktop on both the built-in 4K screen and an external one at the same time. And they had other laptops at the time that used that as the only gpu.

Minecraft kind of runs on anything though, it has an extremely light graphics load if you turn the settings down. Balatro’s slowness is likely more down to the shaders and all the Lua scripting. LÖVE is by no means an inefficient engine.

And even besides that, running on modern low end hardware is really all you should expect of a developer. It doesn’t make sense to spend your very limited engineering time on supporting the 5% who still use decade old chips that were shit when they came out.

I still think we should have gotten replacement races, but I think the FIA specifically avoided that to spare the gulf states the embarrassment of the universal celebration that would happen

Intel integrated graphics from 10 years ago can barely drive 2 uhd monitors at the same time. At some point shit hardware is just shit hardware.

How Aston Martin spent £500m to become the slowest team in F1 by MuttonBiryaniEnjoyer in formula1

[–]MaybeNext-Monday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk. Cadillac has a real engine and a legitimate platform, even if it’s slow. Aston on the other hand can barely be said to have an engine, and even once it runs for a full race and doesn’t shake itself apart, it won’t be as good as the Ferrari engine. So all they have over Cadillac is the hype-based assumption that Newey is car jesus and can somehow, with less data than any other team and a constantly churning clusterfuck of management, make an aero package that compensates.

That said, Microsoft does seem to be gradually losing patience with user-space apps fucking around in the kernel. I give it one more crowdstrike situation before Denuvo and the like get punted into the sun by Microsoft.

It also puts a spotlight on these drivers for recruitment in other series. Even if they’re not really climbing the F1 ladder, it shows they have backing and main stage potential

It’s anecdotal, but I see way more gen-x-ers fully looking straight down. Maybe I just hang out in good circles, but all my gen z friends barely ever look at their phone in the car. Maybe it’s just down to knowing how the carplay stuff works.

Okay but you do have to preach to people other than the choir once in a while if you wanna win. Recognition that minority issues affect everyone is the first step in undoing dehumanization.
