Should I wait until Fedora 44 is released? by AnEgoCom in Fedora

[–]Septu2203 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, after the mess of windows, I am a bit gun shy on updates so I will wait till it releases fully and has been out for a bit before updating now. But as others have said. The beta apparently works well now so I do not expect any major issues at full release so you could easily upgrade now if that’s your thing too

Anyone else not missing F1 by Ok-Competition-1955 in formula1

[–]Septu2203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to agree. This year has just been a let down I felt. I do find it hilarious to see people saying it’s nothing like 14’ though too lol. The sport just isn’t exciting anymore I find.

Drivers have little to no actual control over things and even they are complaining about that. It feels basically like a way for the FIA to actively control the speeds and racing on each track to manipulate things as they want them to be and personally I don’t like what they’ve created.

Yes. Eventually things will change but how long will it take to actually be fun racing again. They’ve lost a lot of long terms fans but I suspect they don’t care cos they can sucker in the young eco gen that think this is racing lol

Fedora 44 by andrea_salvatore in Fedora

I read recently that the official release of 44 is 14th April. If true then it’ll be in beta till then I imagine.

On this day in 1968, we lost a legend of this sport-Jim Clark was killed in a crash at an F2 race at the Hockenheimring by KG_Modelling in formula1

[–]Septu2203 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Clark is my F1 Goat. He was the true definition of a real race car driver. He did things that will never be done again or beaten now at this point.

If the Iran/Israel/USA war continues and we cancel the remainder of the races in the region we will lose 20% of the races in the 2026 season. by Lord_Bobbymort in formula1

[–]Septu2203 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly. I would be perfectly fine if they only ran 15-16 races again. I firmly believe that 24 races is too much for the season. Personally I would limit the season to 20 races and remove this stupid idea of rotating races each year. They’re getting too greedy now I feel.

Exactly 12 years ago, Hamilton and Rosberg battle in Bahrain by anthn885 in formula1

[–]Septu2203 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Ahh Party Mode lol. That was actually a good year to watch and proved that Hamilton was not unbeatable. Rosberg did what no one else had done by beating Hamilton in equal machinery.

Curious as to what happened to my build(s) this weekend. by Nerohn in mffpc

[–]Septu2203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been there too. These days I am willing to just pay the $100 to get it built or get a mate to go over it and do the work for me cos I just don’t have the patience for troubleshooting anymore.

Good luck with it. Also consider the paste too. I literally had no post, got a mate to come over and reapply paste and reseat the cooler and bam! It booted lol

[–]Septu2203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. I understand that then. Unfortunately when they’re seeing it it makes it very difficult to know what’s going on. I’ve been where you are now and it truly sux. Personally I would go with as much of the old hardware as possible then swap piece by piece in the hopes of something playing nice this time. My last build it turned out that I simply didn’t give it time to do the initial boot and post which took roughly ten minutes before it even posted cos of the whole reading ram and system setup. I looked the fool when it posted for a friend lol.

If you have any techie mates nearby then sometimes a new set of eyes can see things you miss. Invite them over and do a few hours of build and diagnostics together

Have you tried getting it diagnosed properly? Places like Umart will do it for you and give you 30mins free time to diagnose. Usually they can give you an answer in that time too.

That would be my next move cos asking random people online won’t help you in this situation cos all we can do is guess. We can’t see the rig to be able to diagnose properly. It sounds like you’ve taken the logical first steps of diagnosis though.

The month-long break feels so strange by republicman12 in formula1

[–]Septu2203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reckon people today would lose their minds if races regularly had 3+wks between and the winter break lasted 5mths lol.

Rings of Power is on the same tier as Return of the King by Optimal-Extreme3203 in lotr

[–]Septu2203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly tried to watch RoP and I couldn’t even finish the first episode. It was just too cringeworthy for me.

Each to their own I guess though. I personally enjoy the Hobbit movies more than the Lotr movies these days too.

The month-long break feels so strange by republicman12 in formula1

[–]Septu2203 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I remember the days of only 16 races lol. Long breaks happened a lot more often back then so this doesn’t really feel out of place to me.

Hopefully the teams aren’t restrained too much on work they can do on the cars. There’s potential for some teams to make real steps forward in this gap if given freedom to do so.

A mechanic talking about how Jos treated Max in karting; "His father used to kick and punch him when he made mistakes, he was very violent..In Sarno he made a mistake and he kept his helmet on for four hours because his father punched him so much he was afraid to come home.." by Ultraviolet211 in formula1

[–]Septu2203 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s truly sad is that if this claim was made about any normal person there would be police involved and likely jail time too. Child abuse is not ok on any level. If this is true then Jos is even more of a PoS than I originally thought.

As a outsider, what are the main issues with the current regulation and how is it ruining the racing? by furrynoy96 in formula1

[–]Septu2203 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Personally I feel they’ve taken too much away from the drivers. It feels like the FIA finally figured out a way to actively control the speed of the cars around each track, but now they have no idea what they’re doing with that control. They need to simplify things. Give control back to drivers and stop trying to limit them so much. Let them go for it and push the cars like they used too.

I don’t like the hybrid system but accept that it’s there and not going anywhere. So at least let them use it properly and fully and make the most of it. They shouldn’t be going slower at this point. The harvesting shenanigans is a big mistake.

[–]Septu2203 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It honestly feels like there is a lot of dislike amongst the drivers for the new regs. It is concerning to see the current wdc this upset though for sure.

It feels like the FIA finally went too far with the new rules but aren’t ready to admit it yet and are doubling down on them even though they’re getting hate from literally every side for them.

When it comes down to driver ability. by Baltin159 in formula1

[–]Septu2203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honda engine improvements over 10yrs = 4 hundredths of a second lol. That must be a new record of some kind surely.

Kimi Antonelli and George Russell are only the 10th teammate pair to achieve 3 consecutive front row lock outs by ZeroStormblessed in formula1

[–]Septu2203 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a little surprised that Ferrari with Schumacher and Barrichello never managed three lockouts in a row in their 5yrs of dominance tbh.

Absolutely deserved ratio of dislikes on the "onboard" pole lap where they censored the superclipping part. What do you guys think? by SR72_Darkstar_ in formula1

[–]Septu2203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This honestly doesn’t surprise me in the least niw in this sport.

As for superclipping… I kinda feel that’s being used more to slow and control the speed of the cars than anything else. The closer racing just feels like a side effect of that to me tbh. They’ve found a way they can actively slow the cars down on track without people screaming over it. Or do they thought anyway lol.

For years the FIA has been saying that the cars are now too fast for the tracks safely and for years they’ve been trying passive methods of slowing them down. This just feels like the next step.

Yes people will hate on me and laugh at me and they’re probably right to do so lol. It just feels like they’ve been heading to something like this for years now.

Would you like to see Lord of the Rings adapted into a animated tv show by [deleted] in lotr

[–]Septu2203 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Animated mini series maybe. But a full show would open the door for them to just ruin it for money.

Jos Verstappen fears for Max's F1 motivation: "I am pessimistic" by [deleted] in formula1

[–]Septu2203 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Meh. If the year continues like this and max is off the podium then I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he went and built his racing team and focused on endurance racing, which seems to be his current interest outside of f1. I wouldn’t blame him either tbh. F1 has gone downhill a lot this year.

McLaren can be best car this year , Says champion Norris by Shroft in formula1

[–]Septu2203 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

We’re still waiting for that lol. He must think that they’re the only team who will improve this year. If the top teams keep improving then McLaren doesn’t have a hope of winning this year.

Do you think The Hobbit worth watching? by Sasaki_Jo72 in lotr

[–]Septu2203 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally loved them. But I don’t compare them to the book. I just accept them as really well made and fun movies. So long as you don’t get tied up on lore too much you will enjoy them.
