change of weather?

Alonso and Schumi will take the podium I think..

I have a feeling this will be a good race for the RedBulls.

Watching the pre-race coverage - it's overcast, but bone dry at the moment. Silverstone being Silverstone I wouldn't rule out a shower during the race though.

It looks like the race will be run in the dry. Shame.

no problem with having a dry race. then finally everyone WILL see that ferrari has clearly the best car.

after a few laps its already obvious. ferrari the fastest car, schumacher fighting with a difficult car and webber - as always - is just happy to stay behind alonso. he even lifted at the start!

Perez is absolutely right about how Maldonado is getting away with way to much.

btw the BBC has some good side channels, Pitlane video you can listen to all of the conversations between the drivers and pitlane, as well as live timing and onboard cameras.

Unfortunately, money talks, so I'm betting after the race, he'll get away with just a time penalty. Ideally, he should have been disqualified from the race straight away, and fined for reckless driving.

That's a fair point. I miss that too, but I'm still enjoying the races when I can. :) Just fingers crossed for rain or a safety car. :p

Well done Webber, exciting end to that race, shame Button couldn't capitalise a bit more, was less than a sec behind senna for the last 10 laps or so and couldn't get anywhere.

Also I quite like this new ceremony with interviews...except the flags on spinning boards...needs to be a traditional flag!

And Fans being allowed onto the track at the end as it should be!

Will look forward to Maldonado having his Super License revoked. Full respect to Perez for having the balls to stand up and say what he really thinks about him. By the sound of it the same sentiment is shared with most of the paddock. Williams wouldn't dare do anything themselves though, Maldonado's sponsors bring too much money to the team.

A pretty abysmal race for the Brits on the grid but I don't think you can be too harsh on teams choosing the wrong strategy. They had barely any dry practice and no one could have said which combination of tyres would be fastest - who would have thought the difference between a HHS and a SHH strategy could be so significant?

di Resta was really unlucky but Force India didn't look to be anywhere today.

Well done to Webber. I thought Alonso had it in the bag since he had a big gap and fresh soft tyres, but Webber came through pretty easily in the end.

Lotus must have a win coming before the summer break.

    • 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.
