Well, I'm glad Alonso didn't win it - he is an petulant kid and his racing has been all over the place this season; he is also a poor sportsman. Still, this year has been the best year for Formula 1 in decades... possibly ever, despite all the scandals / nonsense with the FIA. Hamilton deserved to win but the team failed him yet again. I'm sure Hamilton will go on to do great things as he dominated the season as a newbie - he is a grounded and likeable character; a good role model to children.

@mclaren2 - Are you being serious? If you are then I'm assuming you're Spanish, hence why you seem so set against Hamilton, even going as far as to call him "ugly" - a statement that is patently untrue. It's like you're talking about a completely different sport.

@theyarecomingforyou

first of all. let me guess: you are from gbr/usa right?

and no, i am not spanish, i am from austria, and i liked following drivers in the past: berger, hakkinen, coulthard, raikkonen, montoya, hill, villeneuve, and currently i like alonso and massa. all of them for various reasons, but nationality was never a part of it.

yes, i think hami is ugly. he looks ugly. thats my opinion. why should it be untrue? isn't it just subjective if you find someone good looking or ugly?

He failed himself in the last two races due to his own (rookie) mistakes, but I can bet he learned from them. All he had to do today was just hang in the top 4, but he was overly aggressive @ turn 1 and his race & potential Drivers Championship was pretty much done.

I'm not bashing Hamilton, the kid has some serious skills and I give him props for that. (Y)

Hopefully next year we can just have some good racing without all the crap that left a big brown skidmark on this years season.

horrible result no doubt. at least the ugly hamilton failed to win a gifted wdc.

but raikkonen, a guy who just makes headlines with getting caught drunken somewhere, is not any better.

fernando alonso, despite having the whole team and the FIA against himself, just failed to win his 3rd consecutive wdc by 1 ridiculous point, the point, stolen in hungary by the prooven alonso-hater scott andrews. :pinch:

this year, in f1, was the worst since 1994, with everyone, including the press doing everything preventing alonso of winning his 3rd deserved title. he developped the mp4/22 nearly by himself, a car which failed to win 1 single race in 2006 to the best car in the grid this year in nearly 2 months over the winter.

but it was not meant to be.- british nationalists and the italian mafia both working 200% to get their own agenda through, finally succeeded in destroying everything.

very sad day for the sport. f1 is not the sport anymore it uses to be many many (glory) years ago.

yeah, i get what you're saying, but the sport is a lot more interesting nowadays. i used to cheer for shumi, but he dominated and that wasn't fun. F1 made most money than any other year last year and their ratings were much higher than those glory years you're talking about.

I was a Shumi fan since his Benetton days then with Ferrari, and despite that, it did get boring watching him win all the time with little challenge from anyone else.

Problem was that they dare not challenge him incase he rammed them off the track.

You got a valid point there. :laugh: Some of his "tactics" were questionable to say the least (eg. Monte Carlo, parking it in La Rascasse so Alonso couldn't take pole away from him).

Breaking news just on bbc news, BMW could be disqualified due to fuel irregularities and Hamilton could win the championship as he would move up to 5th place finish.

I would post a link to the news but as i said, it was just breaking news on BBC so nothing online yet.

looks like i'd maybe have to modify that quote.

what do we have already?

the crane, hungary, fuji, interlagos quali, interlagos race.

sport is dead.

and i remember mosleys reaction after interlagos 95 affair.

i fear the worst for raikkonen (undeserved) and ferrari (deserved).

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? You didn't really think this through did you? lol. The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique shaders by using master materials and generating a PSO cache and compiling every shader before loading the game and managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime, it's up to the developer to set all that up properly.

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.

      I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
