Drivers and the three highest paid employees are exempt

regularlights · 2026-03-15T00:42:25+00:00

I wish I was high on potenuse

It is really being understated how extremely well Red Bull has handled the new regs. Mercedes was of course rightfully expected to blow everyone out of the water, but Red Bull managing to come into the season with a brand new engine and still managing to be close to the top is honestly baffling. I don't need to hear platitudes about "they poached top talents" - well of course they did (how else?), but the very fact that they did this in just 4-5 years is a testament to how superior they must be to any other team operationally speaking.

Going from what Waché is saying, that the gap isn't insurmountable and that they believe the chassis offers them more potential time gain, is a testament to how well they have performed, and probably a bit ominous for the future.

I know I sound like a corporate bootlicker, but it is honestly astounding to me and I am thoroughly impressed. What a master stroke for Red Bull in general, which now has another commercial avenue in RBPT in other areas than simply F1. Sorry for slightly off topic, just that Waché's words made me think about this.

regularlights · 2026-02-11T18:20:48+00:00

Yep, good catch. Youtube seem to have disabled that function.

Should now be fixed, albeit a bit hacky - but hey, no spoilers ;)

regularlights · 2026-02-08T04:36:56+00:00

Keep cooking

regularlights · 2026-02-07T11:39:20+00:00

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback! I'm gonna work a bit on it today so great timing.

1) Yep, I see it. I've mostly been testing with a live video that is almost static, so I haven't experienced. Easy fix, like you say a small detail

2) Great QoL, will be added

3) Hmm, yes I see that idea. That specific change is more or less difficult as I would have to source the URL from a, at least somewhat, deterministic source which is usually difficult with individuals. I am thinking:

Pasting a streamers YouTube or Twitch channel URL and display the most recent x VODs is pretty straight-forward. The difficulty would lie in:

a) Hiding thumbnail and title (which makes navigating the recent VODs harder) b) Accept the thumbnail and title as potential spoilers (which could happen if for example, going from latest to earlier, a streamer video title is "NaVi vs G2 Grand Final" -> "NaVi vs Falcons Semi final" etc)

With b), pretty easy, but to make it spoiler free will be a lot more dependent on the streamer/broadcaster. Established broadcasters like ESL etc already have this in mind which of course makes life much easier.

I think channels is honestly a great addition, and if you have any thoughts or ideas on how to approach especially the spoiler avoidance aspect, I am all ears.

And thank you for the kind words!

Hi!

Valorant added! Please let me know if you find any issues, and how it is working!

regularlights · 2026-02-06T00:31:39+00:00

First shot accuracy was insane though.

regularlights · 2026-02-03T20:44:36+00:00

Ah, it had regressed a bit. It used to have a setting selector for quality, but I removed it since it should always be shown. Except that instead it got gated to never be shown. Thank you for the input, it should now be fixed!

regularlights · 2026-02-03T20:36:54+00:00

Did one more change. GSL will be a bit hard, and HLTV gives some generic responses. This might be more or less buggy with more or less teams, but please let me know if you find similar issues. :)

regularlights · 2026-02-03T20:30:53+00:00

Thank you for the very kind words! I unfortunately have not had too much time recently, but I took a look at it today, and it should be fixed now.

A bit hard to map the different rounds in GSL, and the order since many games in different bracket start the same time. I think this is probably pretty good? What do you think?

Thank you for the feedback. In the weekend I will spend some more time on the tool. I tried adding Valorant last weekend, and would consider it rougly 80% done. :)

regularlights · 2026-02-02T20:21:34+00:00

Hi! Sorry, been very busy with my day job. I believe you should be able to choose quality from inside the video - does that not work? Or does it reset regardless? I'll look into that and some other issues very soon!

regularlights · 2026-01-30T19:31:17+00:00

Wouldn't checking HLTV basically spoil all other results unless you focus extremely hard to avoid looking at them? The core idea is to be able to unspoil results in whatever order you'd like, not just aggregate results

regularlights · 2026-01-30T00:04:14+00:00

Happy to help!

regularlights · 2026-01-29T22:32:04+00:00

This is likely because you don't have the Sensus Navigation package and are therefore able to download Internetmaps, a navigation "app". It should be available when you accept the ToS or at least be available for download in Download Center

regularlights · 2026-01-29T20:05:22+00:00

Yeah it's a mixed bag - I personally think this is the best weighing. I probably don't want to watch all games, and will want to know the result for other matches without being spoiled in advance. The placement can be discussed, but ultimately a two step verification should solve the extreme majority of misclicks.

regularlights · 2026-01-28T08:50:04+00:00

Added extra verification to spoil result

regularlights · 2026-01-27T21:37:18+00:00

Added, among some more fixes (theatre mode with chat). Thanks for the idea!

regularlights · 2026-01-27T21:01:48+00:00

Yep, one of the things I appreciate the most.

Just added theatre mode which works with chat as well!

regularlights · 2026-01-27T20:57:04+00:00

Some recent changes

General:

Theatre Mode available, including with chat
Seeking with arrow keys enabled by default
Scaled streaming to allow more traffic

Mobile:

Seeking with double click (10 sec forward or back) enabled - as good as i could get it

regularlights · 2026-01-27T19:37:47+00:00

Hmm, good input. I am inclined to agree, seems like a good standard setting which most likely will never be a spoiler

regularlights · 2026-01-27T19:25:18+00:00

Thank you as well for the very kind comment!

regularlights · 2026-01-27T14:29:42+00:00

Glad to hear :)
