Was just chatting with a mate about the season so far, I am bored with this season and I think it's down to the tyres artificially limiting the performance of the teams.

Id rather have Vettel win every race than have a completely unpredictable race thanks to the tyres, F1 should be about the drivers skill than which team can set up their car so that it doesnt wear down the tyres so quickly.

Definitely a fair point. It is exciting that you can't predict who's going to win, but I have to agree it seems that the winner is really who has their car balanced the best for the tyres.

Not quite the driver showdown we hope for, it's just waiting for X's tyres to go off as Y has fresher tyres.

woah! incredibly close qualifying. i really expected a williams or lotus on pole, but at the end the 2 best drivers on the grid delivered again way more than their car was allowing. its shaping up to be a vettel vs. hamilton battle for the wdc this year.

another "winner" aftet today: felipe massa. he has definitly nothing to hide if he is aside with schumacher and alonso :p

What happened with the Ferraris?

they are just lacking pace. no driving mistake like schumacher in the last corner (however i doubt it would have made any difference)

lol, that couldn't have gotten any better for Alonso. The F1 gods even had Dildonado ram Hamilton out at the end of the race.

also count grosjean sleeping at the restart and letting alonso pass, vettels car going bom, mclaren letting hami again down in the pits.

Hamilton - Maldonado incident..Hard to judge,Looked like Hamilton turned into Mal. But Mal at the same time did not do much of an effort to not run into Hamilton.

Also, would have loved to see Alonso's pirellis to fall of the edge, and thusly make Kimi overtake him and win.

Very nice to see Schumi back on the podium, the way him and Webber worked through the field together was a nice thing to watch.

What?

Hamilton was on the racing line, Maldonado was off the track, Hamilton turns to make the apex when he was IN FRONT on the RACING LINE and Maldonado instead of tucking in behind Hamilton pulls into him.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
