Did anyone else order from Tesco & receive this email last week?

Dear Andrew,

Due to circumstances beyond our control there is a delay in despatching the item listed below. The new estimated despatch date is listed next to the item.

What delay? :unsure:

STUNT ARENAS?!?!?! How the hell did I miss that?! :woot: :woot: :woot:

Been known for ages bro rofl.gif

?These innovations are twinned with the option to join millions of like-minded individuals globally within the Gran Turismo community and to find a driving experience to suit, whether that is taking on the Top Gear test track, chucking cars around stunt arenas, go-karting, creating and sharing your own track or intense head-to-head races. Who, where and what to drive is completely down to the individual.?

Trailer for Qore, no mention of Stunt Arenas but at least they're talking to the US producers, hope +1 :p

I guess there is a month left, probably need to wait another 10-15 days for some more new info.

Haha, I love that ad. :)

I wish I could go back in time to being a kid and have that many toy cars!

By the way is anyone else stupid enough to be getting the Signature Edition like myself, through throwing away their own cash or someone elses?

I almost ordered it, but I got real in the end. I'll be just as happy with the regular edition. The only way I'd truly be happy with having the Signature Edition is if I actually won the SLS AMG! :p

With the nut jobs over on GTPlanet and their £10,000 wind/air/gravel and pine cone infused space capsule in-house driving chairs none of us regular joes are going to do good enough in-game to win that competition.

RC car with camera and microphone! I already have plans ...

It probably has a range of 3 metres. Stand outside womens changing rooms?

Haha, true. It's not always the case though. Sometimes, you can be the best with just a gamepad. That's how one my gaming buddies won a Nissan 350Z (he couldn't afford the insurance on it though, so he sold it, and bought himself an Alfa Romeo MiTo). Didn't work for me though, I came 37th out of 50 in that final, and ended up with a Need for Speed Mini Scalextric set. :p

Well anyway, that means I can do OMG NEOWIN UNBOXING of the GT5 Sig Edition, and maybe even make front page news alongside the unboxing of a USB stick article.

Yeah don't worry I won't be doing anything else other than whatever track/car combo it is we need to use 24/7 from release. It's all about shaving seconds, shaaaaving them.

True. I did that as well, but the annoying bit is that when I got to the event, they did it with pretty much all of the assists turned on, and I was playing with almost everything off, where I could get about 58 seconds round Brands Hatch Indy in a 350Z, when at the actual event, I ended up doing a lowly 1:02. I was faster at the local qualifier. :p

I guess this time it's GT though, probably mandatory to use professional physics and all assists off. That's what the time trial competition released a while back was.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • 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.
