Of course, but his cars have won around 40% of all WDC over the past 30ish years, and his record around major new aero regulations is exceptional:
If Newey ends up at Ferrari in time to design their 2026 car, Hamilton has either lucked into a second stunning career move or he’s known all along…
The real question is why did they install a system based on 5.25" floppy disks in 1998 in the first place!?
The 5.25" floppy was surpassed by the 3.5" floppy by 1988 - ten years prior to this systems installation - and by 1998 most new software was being distributed on CD-ROM. So by my reckoning, in 1998 they installed a ‘new’ system based on hardware that was 1.5 generations out-of-date and haven’t updated it in the 26 years since.
At Kuala Lumpa International Airport half the signs were like this near our gate a couple weeks ago…
Yep, especially surface mount lithium batteries - they’re very sensitive to the solder reflow profile being juuuust right
Just to add in case you’re not aware, the EF-RF adapters are literally just spacers that shift the lens mount to where it would have been if there was a mirror in there - optically it’s just 24mm of air, so no quality impact at all.
The only thing to keep in mind is that there is a slight autofocus slow-down with the much older lenses, but not enough to bother me.
I literally just faced this same dilemma! I went online looking to upgrade the kit lens I’ve had on my Canon EOS 70D for nine years and got sucked into the mirrorless hype.
In the end I sortof ended up upgrading both… I got a great deal on a second hand Canon mirrorless body, and because it has in-body image stabilisation I could then spend a lot less money to get a 25 year old ‘L’ series EF lens rather than a newer one with IS in the lens.
I’m extremely pleased with this set-up so far, and even more pleased that I can add to my lens collection in future for much less money than if I needed IS hardware in every lens.
I’ve found all of the tabs on Google have a tendency to go AWOL these days - like the other day I was searching for camera lenses and Google took away the ‘Products’ (formerly kmown as ‘Shopping’) tab, even though what I was searching for couldn’t have been more obviously a product. Instead, all I could get were super low quality copy-paste blogs vaguely related to the product.
I had some hard to track down intermittent network issues when I upgraded from LMDE5 to LMDE6 - the solution was to get a newer kernel from backports - its fairly painless…
