According to Ted Kravitz it had to go through several iterations before the FIA approved it. Explains why it looked much less shiny than in this picture!

I watch F1, and there’s an F1 film (you’ll never guess what it’s called) coming out this year. They’ve been filming on actual race weekends over the last few years so I’m cautiously optimistic that it could be quite good.

Is nickel not magnetic? I guess the outer cladding must be pretty thin.

It’s not like it gives you questions in a particular order, it just puts a pin on the map everywhere there’s missing information. For instance if your neighbourhood only had house numbers missing then that’s all you’ll see nearby, other places could be completely different.

Prime opportunity for some evangelising!

I prefer this version

Definitely ticks the “something interesting to do out on a walk” box that pokémon go did

Street Complete is definitely the gateway drug here, very simple and beginner-friendly way to get started

The prototype scans open tabs locally, suggests topical names, and auto-bundles related pages. Because all processing happens on the user’s computer, the company says, neither raw content nor behavioral signals are uploaded to the cloud.

“AI” is just a buzzword, this isn’t chatbot nonsense as far as I can tell.

As with all offers like this Amazon are hoping that it causes people who weren’t subscribed before to stat paying them regularly, and posts like this are kind of giving them free advertising.

It’s similar to recommending something like reward credit cards (where you can make money off them as long as you pay them off in full and never pay any interest), if you’re sensible enough with your money then you can get a freebie but the provider is looking to profit off you messing up or forgetting.

This seems like a fun little “learning the rules is part of the puzzle” game, looks quite nice too

They do take safety pretty seriously in general, I would hope that they wouldn’t be suggesting this if they weren’t confident that all their other procedures would mitigate any increased risk.

They make it pretty difficult to get a direct link, but it looks like the Android version is also free via a separate claim

Isn’t that how most businesses work? If a small company gets successful enough to be big but not so successful that they become the market leader then a big company buys them for their name and customer base.

As I post whenever someone complains about them not being free in !freegames@feddit.uk: you can sign up for a free trial of prime, claim the thirty or so games currently available, cancel, and keep all the games forever without having to give a penny to Amazon.

Resist the FOMO, don’t buy a game just because it’s brand new and they paid for enough marketing that everyone’s talking about it. Go through your backlog, replay your favourites, find some cheap indies or second hand classic or free giveaways. Nobody can force you to pay through the nose for games and there’s more choice than ever before!

I would guess that’s why counting bugs on the numberplate is mentioned, I think that’s basically stayed the same for decades

I like that the high altitude makes it a different kind of circuit in a technical sense (though I guess you technically covered that with “atmosphere”!)

Mine was “Williams”
