If you think any team would keep an underperforming driver whose dad doesn’t own the team then you’ve already purchased that beach.

Aston haven’t shown that they can fix things in the short term is what you are saying, Alonso can’t wait two years at his age and doing so is mad.

The difference in current trajectory of Merc vs. Aston? With Merc he would have a good chance of getting wins next season and Antonelli is not certain to get into Merc after one year, especially if Alonso out performed George.

I suspect he’s still hoping for Merc, it’s still a moonshot for Merc to sign Max, so they are hedging between Carlos and Max. Red Bull would also become available if Max left, no way Red Bull would promote any of the two RB drivers through choice and Carlos would be their best bet.

It’s dependent on whose corner it is as judged by the rules and stewards, your corner or 50 50, you were pushed, their corner and you ran wide. At some point you can’t make the corner and it was never yours to stay in front without going wide.

You’ll still get the penalty if you stayed ahead going wide (not pushed wide) and stay ahead by not handing the place back. We see that all the time already…

The only reason he was out there was because it was faster, it’s the only reason they all do it. If it’s meant to be part of the track then it would be in the race director’s notes for where the track limit is for that corner.

So basically he can fuck off as it should be the same for everyone, that’s the whole point of the race directors notes to make that clear to every driver. It ceases to be an advantage of everyone can do it so making it a grey area is his point here.

Now when it comes to overtaking if you get pushed wide that should be interpreted one way with it absolutely not counting to your track limits violations and if you choose to run wide to hold onto the position that should be interpreted the other way.

WFH, summer kid camps that did free or cheap activities during the day, friends who also had kids (returning the favor another day), relatives (mine were extremely unreliable), and all else fails paid child care.

My relatives were absolutely useless for childcare. Its fine if you don’t want to look after your own grand children, just say so. But under no circumstances repeatedly say you will have the grand children then back out on the last day, many many times.

Cost is high due to the high cost to FOM to be on the calendar and a lack of government subsidies, lots of other races get a big hand out. Its rare for this race to do much more than break even. Silverstone relies on the halo effect of the F1 race to improve sales of track days and other events so this is tolerated.

Ticket prices could come down if they could dramatically increase capacity, but that requires a lot more casual fans wanting to go, which requires a British driver directly challenging for the title and the circuit with its surrounding roads/parking being enlarged. Parking is better than the bad old days but its still not suitable for double the current capacity.

Lowering prices for anything other than seat fillers means operating at a loss, they cannot afford to do so for more than a handful of seasons.

Horner would love to sell them a power unit, would be sweet karma

I would guess that their reasoning is that the increased area allows for more/better sculpted ground effect.

Technically Lance is essential, daddy wouldn’t have purchased the team and spent a ton of money on it otherwise and without that investment the team would not be where it is today. But that’s the sole benefit

I think the FIA would allow three cars per team for that to happen. Only way it could be more spicy is if Fernando replaced Charles

They still have access to 1000 BHP for short periods, while weighing less and having less downforce that will almost certainly result in less drag for most cars. I would not expect peak speed to be that much slower than now, just average speed over the lap.

Sure the drop to 6 gears from 8 (if it goes ahead) is going to hurt but not being able to use all 1000 BHP on the straight at somewhere like Monza means you’ll just be a sitting duck all day long, RB have shown that when they had their biggest DRS advantage.

Well they can force him out of F1, either with an outright ban or a suspension. as there are reputation clauses in the Sporting Regs that are vague enough to be used for this.

Obviously RB would challenge any such ban as they believe he has done nothing wrong.

Is there enough evidence shared in that data dump to warrant a ban? Unlikely.

You could set it to only manually download the shows, then you would go into the interface and click the manual search button. It will then aggregate the results for you into a single list and give you a single click to download, rename, and import the file to your library. You can even download a temporary lower quality version and then replace it later when a better one comes out if you wish.

I particularly like it for shows that often have a week or more of downtime as I often forget when they coming back and this saves me having to check when they back.

NVIDIA Shield with USB drive, and the Shield supports running Plex. Hook the Shield up to your main TV, share its content anywhere else you need it using Plex. You can even torrent directly on the Shield.

For music there is no bottleneck, it even properly supports external DACs via USB that almost everything else struggles with.

For video it’s only really missing AV1, which is only a pain for YouTube but not to the point it’s a real problem as I can still watch 4k on YouTube. It does support things like Dolby Vision, HDR10, TrueHD, etc.

For emulation it’s only going to struggle when you get to as recent consoles as the PS2, if modern emulation is what you are after you want a dedicated, powerful, and recent handheld emulator.

Why would you need newer and more powerful hardware for listening to music? Really doesn’t seem a good use for the money.

The existing shield has been THE longest android device ever and still has ample power to play back even reasonably high quality x265 4k hdr without issue (15gb per hour). Couple with it being one of the most flexible without having to jail break.

The WiiM Pro if you just want audio would be the only other device I would consider as it has Roon support. If you are serious about audio then Roon can be a game changer particularly for multi room audio and multi service audio. Yes you have to pay for Roon, but no FOSS is as easy to setup and use for the average user.

Where did you read that as they are still available to buy?

Shield and an external DAC would be my pick. My lounge is hooked up to a Marantz SR7011 and the one in my office to a RME DAC 2 as I want a really good headphone amp

Another fan of pikvm, love mine. I have it plugged into a HDMI switcher so I can control four boxes from one pikvm. It does use some pins so if you wanted to control the power switches you have to do some extra work.

Worth considering if you want to get a UPS at the same time for the NAS, pikvm and any networking you have. Will all last longer with one to avoid random power cuts or surges.

If you need to access it remotely I would strongly suggest getting wireguard or some other reliable VPN setup rather than exposing the web interface to pikvm directly to the internet.

Kodi is extremely fussy about file names for automatic scraping. If you follow the naming standards, which is easy if you using something like sonarr, the built in scanner will work fine.
