I typically just ignore the weekend and check the results/highlights at the end of it. There’s no reason to get up that early to watch a procession.

I’d place a large bet on it being Aston Martin, Alpine and Audi/Sauber proposing it. It’s a massive advantage to them over RB and Haas because RB and Haas are beating them using parts bought from RBR and Ferrari respectively.

By proposing this rule those teams stand to benefit greatly from some of their largest competition being nerfed for performing too well.

The sponsors unfortunately aren’t. The whole reason it’s the way it is was to give sponsors more screen time

Tracking can be done, the rest of everything can’t, especially at F1 speeds.

Even professional grade cameras and lenses can’t reliably track f1 cars like that automatically. Photographers still frequently have to use manual focus to capture f1 cars due to the speed, and photography autofocus is much more advanced than video. Not to mention that TV cameras are fully manual in 99% of cases.

It doesn’t really make sense to change them, and even the closest thing we’ve got (the formula e remote cams) are still not fully capable of handling fast corners, straights or a few other things.

The logistics definitely don’t help either. If they didn’t have to setup and tear everything down every week it might allow for a bit more permanent infrastructure, which is going to likely be what’s needed for something like that.

iirc these cameras stick out because you can’t really get the shot down the front straight from inside the fencing.

I believe most other tv cameras are this way on most circuits too

Worth it for the shot

Camera operators are going to often be the last ones in unsafe positions because we still haven’t solved the remote camera problem yet. There’s too much latency to have the cameras that whip pan running on the remote tripods used in a few other series.

You really don’t as long as you’re leaving the OS mostly standard. I’m a fairly high level power user of windows and I don’t think I use any of the 3 outside of development work.

I raced some nascar this time around and didn’t do too bad, my rig has been apart for a few months so I’m getting readjusted to sim driving as the winter sets in

Do a special livery just to not put it on the poster

You’re not finding any multiplayer game without some kind of kernel anticheat nowadays, not would you want to. If you think hacking is bad now, imagine how bad it’d be if memory edits were possible again and all the other methods that clientside protection does solve.

Also as soon as they pay you out they either jack up the rates to recover what you paid or drop you entirely as you’re no longer profitable. It’s such a massive conflict of interest

This is the thing a lot of Mastodon users seem to miss. I was on Twitter because of specific people and companies. They aren’t on Mastodon, so I have no use for it.

I feel like this came out of nowhere, but this seems like it’s going to be a giant benefit for Haas as a team. We could very likely see Toyota Haas in the next couple years. It’d be huge for them to move away from the dependency on Dallara for both design and manufacturing and could see them become a whole lot more competitive

I need a new rig soon, the F-GT is such an uncomfortable, low quality product that I just can’t justify the money on replacing.

I’m actually a mod over there, but as a general consumer of content, there’s not enough to make it a viable community. It’s seen a little more activity recently, but is overall a fairly small and dead community.

Simracing. We don’t relate to typical gaming at all. It’s all high end hardware, all very specialized and typically doesn’t interest normal gamers.

Subreddit mods are very against Lemmy or anything that moves them off the platform. The absolute butthurt rage for weeks after the protests proved that one right.

Mostly I just don’t see this platform as an alternative for medium sized communities. It works for large ones where there’s enough people that after a move if 25% transfer then you still have a lively community. Or for small communities where you can get 70%+ to move. But those mid size, 100k users on average communities trying to get them to move just ends up with a ghost town here.

They kinda do though. I can’t post about my gaming niche in a gaming community because it’s barely tangential, and still haven’t found 99% of the communities I had on Reddit.

Lemmy is good for /all, and that’s about it tbh

Going to be honest here

Windows is good for general professional use. Linux is absolutely terrible. MacOS is also decent.

Professionals use windows because everyone knows how it functions, it has robust and supported user management and Microsoft provides significant enterprise support to companies using their operating system.

Linux only has some of those features, they’re often half-assed or unsupported, and there’s no central authority for help.

It’s fine for personal machines, but I absolutely disagree that the only thing windows has going for it is popularity.

Darktable is fine as a hobbyist, but it doesn’t fully replace Lightroom when you get into semi-professional and professional workloads.

I need to give it another try, but my 12TB raw file library is so unwieldy to manage that I haven’t tried importing it all there. Plus the AI generative removal and Denoising is pretty important to a lot of my workflows.

The games that sit at the top of the player counts are almost always multiplayer competitive games. In a lot of ways, there’s been nearly 0 movement in the space at all since covid. The same games are still right there at the top because no new massively multiplayer game has released to top them. FPS players play CoD, Apex, Fortnite and Pubg, Dota is massive in Asian countries, GTA V has a huge cult following (check out its twitch category).

Satisfactory being top 10 is an outlier rather than the norm, being a single player game.

I agree with the other commenter who said that players of these games consider themselves players of Apex/CoD/Pubg before they consider themselves overall gamers. That’s the case with me now, and I rarely launch anything outside of CoD or Apex as I have little to no interest in single player games.
