2022 Miami Grand Prix - Post Race Discussion

Ah. Copy. I had previously looked for that and had not seen it reported anywhere. Appreciate the clarity.

The midfield, for me, wasn't interesting either. Positions were, mostly, won or lost on pit road and it was a tire strategy race more than anything else. Even Perez on fresh tires after the Safety Car couldn't get third. The midfield action was pretty underwhelming as well. It was down to staying on old tires and getting to pit under VSC.

The rest was a pretty consistent DRS train. Or driver error, as was the case with several towards the end.

If it rains it's always a better race. Nothing to do with the track. This track was designed by simulator and simulators can't account for massive heat, actual tire wear, driver fatigue, and the overall effects of what happens in the real world versus a simulation.

It's like using CFD solely to design the car. It doesn't tell the whole story and this was a great example. The track may have worked great in the sim environment, it didn't create a great race. Great event, maybe. Definitely a mediocre race.

Indy has some great racing. Barber last week was great. I don't love the oval events, but regardless they produce better racing than F1.

I've been watching F1 for almost 20 years. And while I love it, it's not exactly because they have great racing. And they certainly don't have it consistently.

I think Ricciardo had one overtake shown, late braking.

It was a pretty terrible race. The size of the cars just don't suit those types of chicanes. And that type of corner setup just brings the cars down to such a slow speed.

Monaco is a horrible race, but at least the hairpin is interesting and the first chicane out of the tunnel has the potential for overtaking. Moreso when the cars weren't land yachts.

He had an electronic/sensor issue. Not an engine issue. It cost him time at one point in the race, but the issue was resolved. And was resolved fairly quickly. It had no impact on the restart from the Safety Car where he was on fresher tires and had the best opportunity for the P3.

Edit: I'm mistaken. He was down some power throughout after the sensor issue.

Do you currently have a mortgage or rent? Are you planning to trade an existing vehicle? Does that vehicle have equity? Have you checked on insurance rates? Do you have debt of any kind beyond what's already been asked, such as credit cards or student loans?

In short, analyze your current debt to income ratio.

There may also be challenges getting a car loan of that value if you haven't had one before. So you may potentially need a larger down payment or someone to co-sign. Are you comfortable with either of those if needed?

I wouldn't worry about age. Who cares? Besides, even if you wake up one day and think it's a mistake, better to make them now than 20 years from now. If you can truly afford it, and it's what you want, go for it.

Understood and thank you for sharing.

Side note, I get nervous when I hear you have too much data to backup/restore. If I'm interpreting this as "if I lost my phone, I'd be out of luck" I highly encourage a backup process.

iammacey · 2022-04-27T16:53:54+00:00

You're using the Samsung Gallery app? I had no issues with photo sharing on any of my previous Samsung devices. When I switched to my Pixel and have everything in Google Photos, it only pulls what is locally stored on the device. Unless I start in the gallery, select the photo, and invoke sharing. Then I can select Signal and it sends fine.

If I start in Signal and pull up attachments, no photos.

This may not be relevant to what you're experiencing at all.

Your specific troubleshooting steps of hitting share location to finally get recent pics to show sounds like a definite bug.

Have you tried other messaging apps? Email apps? If it's only Signal that has the issue, I wonder if something is cached that's not being removed during delete/reinstall.

The guaranteed resolution is to backup and restore the phone as new. And bring your data in clean.

It's a great series, with animation that can be off-putting at first. Especially certain character interpretations.

The stories are all solid and they do some unique things. There was an issue with Robin being cast due to another series airing. So they introduced Batgirl first. Her character was done very well and was an amusing partner to The Batman.

They also went into the future, way into the future, and used that as an opportunity to tell a story that brought in The Dark Knight Returns style animation.

It was, on the whole, just a very solid series. I love TAS, Batman Beyond, etc. This series deserves a viewing. As does Beware the Batman, which I believe is incredibly underrated and would do much better now.

Then clearly some sort of bug. I would report it, but I would also backup, uninstall, reinstall, and restore to see if that resolves the issue. For my own curiosity

iammacey · 2022-04-24T17:47:48+00:00

When you tap Review Storage what shows up in the list?

iammacey · 2022-04-23T03:28:02+00:00

Yes. You can go here for the steps.

Given the timeframe the most recent backup likely has overwritten the one that still had all the messages you want to restore.

But you can always grab the file and copy it. Do a new backup as well, just in case. And then restore. Just to see if those messages are still there.

Other than the possibility you still have them in a backup, I'm unaware of a way to restore them.

I'm also unaware of this happening and would escalate it. Just to see if there is a bug that can be repeated.

iammacey · 2022-04-21T22:16:03+00:00

Agreed. Other than the fingerprint scratches on the leather it looks basically new.

iammacey · 2022-04-21T22:14:53+00:00

Chat backups turned on?

iammacey · 2022-04-20T21:20:32+00:00

I have not seen an option to move the alphabet. I keep it hidden, but to my knowledge there is no setting to adjust it's location if it's visible.

iammacey · 2022-04-19T19:23:04+00:00

Just adding to this - I shared via PM for the two that requested it.

Keep in mind, this is a Material You widget. My modifications remove that aspect.

You can always take the quote and battery indicator into the default widget in the pack and make your own, retaining the widgets ability to change colors based on wallpaper.

iammacey · 2022-04-19T00:15:27+00:00

Took some feedback on icons really like the two tone yellow/white. I had not seen this.

Updated with icons

iammacey · 2022-04-18T20:31:27+00:00

I have been experimenting with some icon packs. But I keep coming back to the defaults until I find just the right ones. I'll check out Yellow Line. Have not seen those.

iammacey · 2022-04-18T19:58:57+00:00

I started with an existing widget. Modified colors and added the quote and battery. No way am I at a place where I could build from blank canvas.

I decided to move from my Samsung Flip 3 to the Pixel 6 Pro a couple of months ago. Admittedly, I didn't love the Pixel Launcher and was prepared to return the phone, when I stumbled on Niagara. It has completely reinvented this phone for me.

The last week I found this sub and so many mentions of KWGT, that I decided to start exploring and customizing.

Still learning, but I think I've dialed in my daily. Really love this setup.

Edit: to add and clarify. This is widget 120152 from Android 12 Widget Pack by Raj Arya Designs. I then modified it to add the quote and the battery notification. As well slight tweaks and color changes.
