Mercedes PR are having far too much fun with this, at least it's making their weeks leading up to Christmas a bit more entertaining. :laugh:

Force India are getting in on it, too...

Is someone going to start the 2017 thread? Just a thought considering it's all over for this year

Yeah I'll do it, probably in the lead up to the new car announcements some time early next year.

 

Also, off season posting has started, and it's glorious.

Also as expected Bottas is top choice, but Williams have rejected Merc's initial offer.

And Alonso's management have confirmed he's staying with McLaren.

Williams in 'advanced' talks with Felipe Massa over F1 comeback - report

 

Felipe Massa is in "advanced talks" with Williams about reversing his decision to retire and return to the team in 2017 if Valtteri Bottas moves to Mercedes, according to a report in L'Equipe.

 

Bottas' place at Williams suddenly looks in doubt as he has emerged the favourite to replace Nico Rosberg, who retired from F1 less than a week after winning his first world title. Massa stepped away from F1 after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, his 250th career start, but could be back in white overalls for 2017 if the team loses Bottas.

Mercedes will not confirm Rosberg replacement until early 2017

 

Mercedes has confirmed it will not announce Nico Rosberg's replacement until early 2017.

 

Five days after winning his first world title, Rosberg stunned Mercedes and the racing world by announcing his retirement from the sport. The team has confirmed it will consider "all options" but the list of candidates narrowed this week when Fernando Alonso reaffirmed his commitment to McLaren.

 

Though Mercedes initially stated it wanted to announce his replacement before Christmas a spokesman said on Thursday there will be no announcement before January 3, when the team returns to work at the factory. No exact date was given for the announcement.

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.

      That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
