The new season kicks off this weekend. It's not a one-make series anymore; everyone's using the same Dallara chassis as last season, but now, there's eight different powertrain manufacturers (it was nine until Andretti decided to revert to the first season's powertrain after their woeful pre-season testing). Here are the fundamental changes for this season...

There will be just 18 competitors entered for the FIA Formula E Championship season opener, the Beijing ePrix, after the Trulli team’s entry – the Motomatica JT-01 – was not submitted for the official scrutineering process ahead of the event.

The team claimed that key components had been held up in customs and were granted an extension to submit these for sealing. These components were not submitted in time.

As the car has not been scrutineered, the team is not part of the official entry list for the season two opening round, which takes place in Beijing on October 24.

Trulli will be able to resubmit its car for scrutineering for race two of the season, the Putrajaya ePrix on November 7.

I was working today, so I missed the race and only got to see it a couple of hours ago.

Last week, a seagull got nutted (commentator's words, not mine) at Phillip Island; this week, a cat invaded the track at Beijing...

Wow that was one of the most exciting races of either season!

Fantastic performance by the top 3, Frijns with that car for 3 laps, and Bird up what 11 places from the grid?!

12, even (Valentino Rossi decided to double Bird's effort earlier today in the MotoGP season finale)! Bloody amazing drive from him.

I was gonna wait for the extended highlights to be uploaded before posting, but screw it; it's too good a race to not share.

Bad news...

 

...but also some good news!

 

So it'll be 18 cars on the grid this season, but back to 20 next season. It's hard to believe it's been 14 years since Jaguar last raced in a series.

    • 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.

    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
