Yeah, that’s true. I think that also Honda was not completely ready and the failure with mclaren helped them to become what they are now.

It’s going the be really interesting to see what will happen to AM… how long will stroll be in the seat if he keeps underperforming? Will alonso stay?

2021 was really something else… I actually stood up during the during the last few laps haha

At least this year there is some action in F1.5 (F1 being red bull), which mclaren also joining.

Plus the benefits of basically making their own engine and develop it together with the car.

This is for sure the next logical step, like aston is doing with honda.

The future looks bright.

I believe it when I see it…

Unfortunately, it’s going to be really hard to catch red bull… who knows when they started shifting their focus to next years car.

Imagine a battle between Merc, Ferrari, McLaren and the RB… one can only dream.

I got all my news from reddit… and now from lemmy.

But if you like podcast, there are also many good ones, which also cover all the news. These are the once I’ve subscribed to in no particular order:

• The Race F1 (+ Tech Show)
• EngineBreaking (*)
• Missed Apex (*)
• BBC Chequered Flag
• F1: Beyond the Grid
• F1 Nation

(*) these are my favourite ones

I basically listen to them (and also other podcasts or audiobooks) instead of music.

I played it even one day earlier on PS5… and the experience really wasn’t that great tbh, and than I had a game breaking bug on top of that as well.

I decided to just wait for the DLC and the big patch… we’ll, this took 3 years haha

Exactly! It all looks good on paper, but I’m definitely waiting for reviews. Fool me once…

I already sold my physical copy and I really don’t regret it at all.

My group of friends and I where really excited and played through the story together, but the endgame just wasn’t fun. I don’t know what exactly it was, but we kinda stoped playing.

The new season and “patches” didn’t really improve it a lot imho… a shame, really!

That’s actually true, I completely forgot that!

Maybe they are testing the water in order to see how much interest there is for F-Zero? Let’s hope for the best.

I always remind myself to do this… Interesting post but no comments? Just add the first comment and a conversation will start - for me at least, there was always somebody commenting.

Another benefit is that they are more often then not patched up and better playable, compared to the release.

Yup, the rabbit hole is quite deep. That’s only the people we know to have been targeted by this version Pegasus, I’m sure the dark figure is much higher.

There really got me with this one… I was soooo excited for some F-Zero news… the music… the pixel look… then a shift to HD graphics and the a announcement of a new game… oh wait this was in my head!

Instead we got a battle royale.

Don’t get me wrong, I still take it and play it… but this was really brutal. :(

Unfortunately, as far as I understand it, not really. NSO and for sure many other companies offering similar spy software use multiple 0-day exploits to get into your device.

At least for the Pegasus one, a system restart seems to do the trick in removing it in most cases, although there are some reports on surviving even a factory reset on some phones…

The other question is, if you are not a person of interest like a high-ranking politician or journalist, you are most likely not going to be a target of an attack. On the other hand, you never know… and that’s the really scary part.

This is very true. I also didn’t expect them to announce it this early… but as I mentioned in another comment “never change a winning team”.

But to all fairness, they a both doing great. As you mentioned, I also think they prefer more experienced drivers… and who is left in this category?

No surprises there tbh.

Oh, I see… I should’ve worded it a bit better.

I don’t know too much about these kind of studies, but it is based on a questionnaire filled out by the parents. I imagine it is quite hard to account for so many variables, since everybody interprets things a bit differently…

I’m just finding that fact sad that people but their 1-year olds in front of a screen for 4+ hours a day, that’s all.

Those poor children… this is really sad. And I’m really surprised they kept at it for so long.

Oh no… and I was excited for a hot minute (literally).
