  • Ecclestone to pay $800m after pleading guilty to tax fraud

    Jump

  • I dislike Bernie intensely, but let's not kid ourselves that the current F1 owners are motivated by anything except how much money they can screw out of the sport.

  • Ecclestone to pay $800m after pleading guilty to tax fraud

    Jump

  • Well, other than the fact that we don't live in a perfect society (have you noticed yet?), because a rich, famous, influential 92 yo is probably the last person the authorities want in jail.

  • The Lovers Whirlwind by William Blake

    Jump

  • Blake is reliably bonkers. I love his stuff.

  • You're not wrong, but jail time and justice is not what motivates HMRC, or any other revenue department. They want one thing, and one thing only: The money. Putting people in jail costs money, letting rich people 'fess up and pay up is much more lucrative.

  • The Windows 11 problem

    Jump

  • Linux is fine for people like you and me who are comfortable installing our own operating system, and trouble-shooting any problems. Most 'normal' people though will continue to walk into a store, buy a laptop, and use whatever came installed.

    Of course, the year of Linux on the desktop actually happened some time ago without anyone noticing. It's called ChromeOS, and that's a whole different can of worms.

  • They certainly have options, though I'm not convinced Tsunoda, Ricciardo or Lawson are necessarily better options.

  • The Israel-Hamas War Is Drowning X in Disinformation

    Jump

  • Oh no, please tell me this isn't true. Surely the well balanced and entirely rational Mr. Musk wouldn't let this happen?

  • Not even the ghost of obsolescence can coerce users onto Windows 11

    Jump

  • That's hardly a Linux-specific problem. There are plenty of Windows problems I've encountered where running some random dude's registry update script is the recommended answer. If you are running anything with Admin / Root rights in any OS you had better understand what you're doing.

    Jump

  • Win 7 is peak Windows for me, but yeah, XP is fine. So is 2K or even Vista for that matter. With every release since 7 MS seem to have been actively looking for ways to make the UI experience worse.

  • Not even the ghost of obsolescence can coerce users onto Windows 11

    Jump

  • Well, it's actually not that difficult if you really want to, but there's really no good reason to do so right now. It's basically just the same OS with an even more annoying UI.

    Misinformation about Israel and Hamas is spreading on social media

    Jump

  • Yeah, just because something utilises technology doesn't mean it belongs in a technology community.

    Also, social media spreading misinformation hardly even counts as news these days.

  • Found £2.80 down the back of our couch while cleaning. What should we spend it on?

    Jump

  • My profuse apologies, Mrs Tea I will endeavour to be gender neutral in any further insults.

  • Hah, look at Mr. Moneybags bragging about his wealth!

  • Radio Le Mans claims that Audi aborts entering F1

    Jump

  • Not a good look for VAG if true. First Porsche make a big deal about entering F1 and then can't find anyone who wants to work with them. If Audi then bails out after committing to buy a team and being an engine supplier it's not going to reflect well on the brand.

    Maybe a way back into F1 for Honda though?

  • Stroll rumours swirl in Qatar paddock with quit speculation mooted : PlanetF1

    Jump

  • PF1 is a clickbait site. As a source of news it's about as reliable as the Daily Mail.

  • [@ChrisMedlandF1] BREAKING: Tyre concerns mean there will be track limit changes and a 10-minute extra practice session at 16:00 today. Sprint Shootout will start at 16:20.

    Jump

  • Very little. It's just to get the drivers familiar with the new track limits.

  • Now we are in the cost-cap era this all seems pretty pointless.

  • Barretto: Sources suggest Ricciardo would be Red Bull’s favoured driver to replace Perez if required either mid-season or at the end of 2024 campaign,

    Jump

  • RBR don't want or need anyone to match Verstappen's performance. All they want from their second driver is to finish P2 in the championship. Perez is currently on track to achieve that, but Hamilton isn't too far behind him. Perez is probably safe for next year so long as he gets P2, but he can't afford another race like Suzuka.

    Ricciardo is unlikely to be an upgrade on Perez speed-wise, but he'd probably handle the pressure better and have fewer race incidents.
