Apple will not even enforce one video player to have consistency with interfaces between video services. I would love to go back to original one where swiping up brought up play functions and swiping down brought down description and other settings & info. I am forever moving my thumb 1 mm when pausing/unpausing or rewinding/scrubbing and unknowingly shifting selection to captions or some other setting.


I’m with you on this one.

Can’t stand the differences between Netflix video player and apple’s and F1’s and Disney’s etc.
I see them in Woodville when I’m deer hunting over a creek area.
Watched a while earlier but not too much to say about it.

Beginning coverage of Sky sports feed had a funny flub by Ted calling the fords that Max and Isaac were riding in the driver’s parade Broncos. Bronco GTs.

Nice that Kim pretended to act like a human being and speak to Brundle this time.

Ferrari definitely seemed to flub their strategy along with Lewis waiving off their suggestions.

lol at the cooldown room coverage with Max and Charles and even Kimi I think dropping F bombs making the commentator apologize for their language.

Haven’t seen any in a few days.
My wife said there was a star in attendance this weekend but I didn’t know what she was talking about.
I went ahead and put out the bag of 0-0-7 crabgrass preventer granules.

I fought a little bit of VBW this year, but nothing like what I see in the rest of my neighborhood.

Probably Norris’ fault but I’m glad he at least went for the position.
I saw that too. Wasn’t it something like he’s got a 6 year no compete?

Also saw an article about how Apple is going to have Dolby Atmos Audio for the US GP for those who have the capability.

Just the stock Apple Weather app is great in my opinion.
No ads. Works well.
I have a 2021 Powerboost that I love. Have 120K miles on it averaging 21.x mpg.

Bottas is so fricking cool. Can we get him 350 extra HP or something for the next race?
Things that make you go Hmm?!?

do wonder if Russell's car doesn't give up the ghost if they go back green earlier.


Yeah, he’s just got shite luck this year.
Yeah, I hate the idea of that shite too.

Regardless of the power unit situation, the right pedal should be directly proportional to torque supplied.
Maybe a button on the wheel for extra power during overtake mode or whatever.

How computer software bugs led to F1’s Malaysia farce: ‘Totally unacceptable’


quote:

“The total confusion left race control with no decision but to abandon the plan to get started and return the cars to the pit lane, now in a jumbled-up order. It led to another, longer wait to get going. The reason for the wait? The FIA, motorsports’ governing body, had to issue a software update for all the teams to install on their cars to fix the computer algorithm that controls the engine and prevent the issue from repeating after a bug had emerged. By the time the race finally began on a considerably drier track, more than 90 minutes had passed since the scheduled 3 p.m. start time.” Excerpt From “How computer software bugs led to F1’s Malaysia farce: ‘Totally unacceptable’” Luke Smith The Athletic LINK This material may be protected by copyright.

That safety car period was way too long.


Did anyone else question why/whether or not it was necessary that Merc pitted during the last safety car after Verstappen?
Guess they just thought they’d get swamped by him anyway with his fresh tires.
Just finished. Sucks for George. Was fast forwarding through the safety car and saw him standing on his car and was WTF?

Good for Max though and Lewis though.

My dad had a lung transplant there 2ish years ago. You’re in great hands.
Wet blanket and a cold shower. Nice
What’s a wet blanket race mean?

That was a pretty good qualifying. Should make for an interesting race!
