2024 Spanish Grand Prix - [POST RACE] discussion thread 🏁
  • He didn't have to have fastest lap. He was winning the race. He was saving tires and running at a consistent pace.

    The entirety of this was true last year as well. Hell last year he also had a black and white flag shown for track limit violations which would have meant that any further track limit violation would result in a penalty and yet he went for a fastest lap and got it by beating a time set by Perez on new tyres with DRS. Verstappen no longer has the kind of car advantage (or even any discernible advantage based on the last 5 races) that he had last year. If you aren't able to realise that, I can't help you.

  • If 2 seconds is a long time, then what is the 20+ second Verstappen was winning by earlier¿? 2 seconds over 66 laps is just 0.03 seconds a lap - a difference so small that wind, dirty air or track temp will have a larger effect.

    The gap that red Bull had was so marginal that I don't think Verstappen could have overtaken Norris if he had been behind Lando after lap 1

  • Max just walked away after regaining the lead.

    What do you mean. Lando was only 2 seconds behind him. One slightly slower stop (2.9 seconds instead of the 1.9 second stop that he had at the 1st stop) and Lando would have been on him at the end. I understand that people are traumatized by Verstappen's dominance but he did not walk away from anybody. Infact like in 2021, it could argued that both Red Bull and McLaren are so close now that the faster car varies from stint to stint

    Testing if VRR is active and working

    cross-posted from: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/15351455

    > Testing if VRR is active and working > > I recently updated to fedora 40 and enabled the experimental setting to get VRR running. But I am an idiot who has been playing at frames rates between 30-60 on screens without VRR for almost all of my life so I can't even know if VRR is actually working or not. Is there some rest I can run to see if VRR is functional¿? If not, which parts of the game should I concentrate to see the difference between VRR and no VRR¿?

    Testing if VRR is active and working

    I recently updated to fedora 40 and enabled the experimental setting to get VRR running. But I am an idiot who has been playing at frames rates between 30-60 on screens without VRR for almost all of my life so I can't even know if VRR is actually working or not. Is there some rest I can run to see if VRR is functional¿? If not, which parts of the game should I concentrate to see the difference between VRR and no VRR¿?

    Edit : I am on a laptop with the integrated screen being the one being used. I am currently using ublue-main

    Repairing bad sectors in an external drive

    So I have this external 2.5" drive salvaged from an old laptop of mine. I was trying to use it to backup/store data but the transfer to the drive fails repeatedly at the ~290GB mark leading me to believe that maybe there is a bad sector on the drive. I tried to inspect the drive using smartmontools and smartctl but since it is an external drive, i was not allowed to do so. Is there anyway for me to inspect and fix this drive? I am on fedora ublue-main. The HDD is a 1TB seagate drive.

    Edit : I am a linux noob so some hand holding will be appreciated. Also i am looking to use this drive only for low priority media files which i dont mind losing so please help even though it is not the greatest idea to use a failing drive

    Edit 2 : It seems my post is not clear of what i am doing. I dont want to recover data from the drive. I want to try to use more of the drive for storing data

    Appreciation Post

    Words cannot express just how much I love the new setting to quickly toggle between light and dark mode. I am very very grateful. Thank you @aeharding@lemmy.world, this is a wonderful app.

    DRM error in F1TV

    Since there is no F1TV community, I am posting here. I am trying to watch the pre season test on my phone running but am running into the error in the picture. My phone is running lineageOS 20. Is this a widevine certification issue¿? Is there anyway to resolve this¿?

    Edit : Further phone details - Motorola G60. F1TV app used to work normally with the stock rom(at least it did last year)
