There's already a pretty popular free/opensource website with similar live data (https://f1-dash.com/) which would be an obvious alternative.

I also suspect that the trying to monetize a project like this would not sit well with the FIA, if you had any kind of traction.

I believe the middle ground is implementing `prefers-reduced-motion` alternatives for the looping animations.

Then it would still loop for you, but not negatively impact people who are using reduced motion settings in their browser/OS.

I think it's a stretch to suggest _all_ are, I'm not sure I could believe that a game like Super Hexagon is political. Would it be political to paint the tree in your backyard, or to draw a picture of your cat?

The affiliate link could be 2x more expensive than other stores. I'd rather see the prices/pick a trusted retailer than just buy from something sketchy like Amazon.

I'm probably out of touch here though, I don't watch YouTubers or streamers in a way that I remember who is who. If I'm watching a video about a product I've likely clicked a few at random to get an overall feeling for it.

I mean the first step for any purchase for me is to check for the best price, but also I have a preferred shop I will look for.

From the video linked:

> "You're convinced you should buy the one recommended in his video so you scroll down and find the affiliate link to that product"

Hold up, that's something people actually would do, click a link in a YouTube description instead of opening a new tab to search for it? Wild.

"Boris Johnson, people always ask me the same question, they say, 'Is Boris a very very clever man pretending to be an idiot?' And I always say, 'No.'"

I noticed the form in the job ad renders LinkedIn as a required field. I am curious if that's an intentional requirement/filter or if candidates without would be considered?

This here is why I find matchmaking is such a frustrating experience at high ELO compared to the old times. With an IRC scrim you aren't held hostage by blatant cheaters, you just leave - but on matchmaking, you cannot choose to forfeit and have to waste 30 minutes or be penalised.

I only play with a 5 stack so us choosing to leave doesn't ruin anyone's experience. I kept two CS accounts (same rank) purely so that we could skip the cooldown and requeue if the opponent had blatant cheaters/spinbots.

_and_ touch type? I don't think touch typing is necessarily essential, surely the speed test is enough. I never learned to touch type but 100+ wpm is not a problem, or 120+ wpm if focusing.

Funny how 7 ping was phenomenal 25 years ago, but now it is the minimum expectation (in WEU). I expect my ping to always be 7 or less (in CS:GO). I don't play on MM servers if the ping is more than 10.

A keyless entry is no better than a regular 'push to send unlock signal' fob in this regard. You have to go much further back for cars that require the key to be inserted into the door.

You say you've only ever owned cars that don't have key-turn ignition, but doesn't that mean the advantages you listed are just assumptions? Having used both, I can personally say I have never considered key-turn ignition a problem or disadvantage. I've never lost a car key the same way I've never lost a phone which I also take out of my pocket to use.

I know people who (for insurance compliance) must store their key inside a faraday box. So to use their keyless entry car they still have to "get the key out" anyway. Push button unlock and key-turn ignition are not vulnerable to those kind of attacks/thefts.

The biggest surprise for me was seeing the desks with no mouse pads (or if you wanted to build it into the cabinet you'd probably want to stick down a desk pad).

But I also in my circles everyone takes their own keyboard/mouse/pad/headphones as those are the things it's hard to adjust to - admittedly my priorities could be completely different.

In Central European cities kids will walk unsupervised to school from age 5, even today in 2024. Parents are even actively discouraged from taking children to school. If what you suggest is true, then statistically we should see Swiss children dying at a higher rate than American children?

I use an old cheap android but do choose to use a case, not because of the cost of a replacement, but because I don't want to spend time and effort in finding and setting up a new phone.

And personally, I find it better ergonomically with a little more thickness. One auxiliary benefit is that I can throw it around without caring.

Back then you could just quit the server/match if somebody was obviously cheating (or they got banned).

With competitive matchmaking cheaters can hold players hostage until the end of the match, as leaving incurs penalties and cooldowns that temporarily ban you from playing.

A lot of European cities are also 30kmph in residential/central areas, with even 20kmph limits in pedestrianised areas.

What do you mean "can't", this is exactly what already happens in countries that already implement a wealth tax (eg, Switzerland). If you own a corporation that has assets worth millions, then the corporation is the asset that you're paying wealth taxes on (as part of your personal tax return).

Doesn't matter if the company is based abroad either, you'll still need to supply the companies balance sheet as part of your personal tax return. Last time I checked, the Swiss economy (unsurprisingly) has not come crashing down.

>barrier to entry for game cheating is lower than i've ever seen it

Matchmaking rather than finding opponents/matches on IRC and private servers is also a big factor modern cheating.

People are locked in to the game with you in Valorant or CS, they are penalised for leaving and thus can be held hostage by someone who is blatantly cheating.

In older times, you would just quit and find another match, or if it was a community public server they will get banned.

It's not ideal but I lived half a year with unreliable internet and frequently played over a tethered 4G mobile connection (in Europe). Latency was around 40-50ms, which was still lower than the people playing from Eastern Europe who would play in EU West matchmaking. I imagine with 5G it could be even lower.

Anecdotally, I frequently take day (or weekend) trips to other European cities by rail. It is usually quicker than the roads but also crucially you can be productive on the train. If I had to drive my car there then I probably wouldn't bother.

They will charge you for roaming if you're clearly abusing the system (ie, not living in the place you bought the SIM). How long that takes to happen depends on the individual provider - if they didn't then everyone would predictably just use cheaper eastern Europe SIMs.

I'm fairly sure that person is Swiss, because CHF converted to USD is ~70USD for 25Gb/25Gb symmetrical Fiber in Switzerland.

Regular 1Gb/1Gb is around 40CHF/40EUR often.

And I made $15million last month as a lottery winner.

Most people in real life aren't using twitter actively at all, and they survive just fine? The only people I know who use it are tech workers in the conference scene, in my real world social circles there is nobody.

Personally I would check my providers website/status page in such circumstances.

> Neither the steering nor the brake pedal will have any adaptive feedback

I think this is probably the biggest disadvantage compared to using an actual sim wheel. In the linked video demo it looks like the driver is struggling to apply the right amount of steering and correcting after the corners. At times the game footage looks more like someone playing with a gamepad than a wheel.

I know that eventually I'll need to replace the 4a (security) but every time I look at phones I just can't find anything that I would actually want to use instead, and I also resent price increases that remove features I use (headphone jack).

The market? I don't know a single person personally or professionally with a MacBook Air. I haven't seen one in person in like 7 years.

> When go came out, people said source was better.

Well, when GO was first released it was in fairness not the same CSGO that exists today. Valve took over from Hidden Path after release and it took a couple more years of development to make it competitively viable.

I think CS2 will eventually get there as well, it just feels too early to be forced to switch, as you say.

The UK really needs to ditch the high street. It's just such terrible town planning, that the intended "social hub of the community" is a main road filled with through traffic and parking spaces.

That's just not an environment where anyone wants to spend their time, and the decline is so painful to see. So many now are just betting shops, letting agents and kebab takeaways - but if these were pedestrian zones these could be so much more. See large European cafes with people eating and drinking outside on the street until late.
