2024 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix - [POST RACE] discussion thread ๐Ÿ
  • The other replies are correct and so are you. The track is very narrow and does not make for good wheel to wheel racing. It is fine to drive in a game/Sim and to watch cars going along. Even the f2 race was not particularly exciting.

  • [Pre-Match Thread] Arsenal F.C. v.s. Everton F.C.
  • Wow both arsenal and city are facing banana peel matches. Both Everton and West Ham are the kind of disciplined teams who can defend deep and hit on the counter or with dead balls. Any result is possible today

  • straight up say they can't compete is bad.

    I think i messed up a little. Here is his statement -

    We will try to compete with Madrid, but I think the fans have to understand that the situation is very tough. First of all on a financial level. We can no longer say: 'We want this player, and this player'. We do not have the same conditions as the other clubs with a good financial situation. The Barcelona fans have to understand that. That doesn't mean we can't challenge, but that's Barรงa's situation at the moment. We need time and stability, but we will also try to compete.

    Very reasonable statement to make in my opinion

  • Begged Xavi to stay until he decided to stay. Then in the press conference before the match against alves(?) he said that Barcelona fans have to be realistic with their expectations of them challenging for titles and trophies because the club can't sign players due to their financial troubles while the competitors (see Real Madrid) can sign whoever they want.

    Laporta and the board are furious that Xavi has said this to the press and public after seemingly tell the board in internal meetings that they should still be competative next season.

  • It is incredible fun (and heartache since I am a fan of bayern) watching the coach related drama at Bayern and Barcelona. Especially the board at Barcelona are such humongous morons - convinced Xavi to stay when he had decided to leave and now looking to fire him because he said the cold hard truth to the press/public.

  • xkcd #2933: Elementary Physics Paths
  • They are both describing the same particles.

    Water and ice are made up the same particles and molecules yet the mathematical structure to define the effect of force/pressure is very different - plastic deformation vs fluid dynamics as the example given above

    Testing if VRR is active and working

    I recently updated to fedora 40 and enabled the experimental setting to get VRR running. But I am an idiot who has been playing at frames rates between 30-60 on screens without VRR for almost all of my life so I can't even know if VRR is actually working or not. Is there some rest I can run to see if VRR is functionalยฟ? If not, which parts of the game should I concentrate to see the difference between VRR and no VRRยฟ?

    Edit : I am on a laptop with the integrated screen being the one being used. I am currently using ublue-main

    Repairing bad sectors in an external drive

    So I have this external 2.5" drive salvaged from an old laptop of mine. I was trying to use it to backup/store data but the transfer to the drive fails repeatedly at the ~290GB mark leading me to believe that maybe there is a bad sector on the drive. I tried to inspect the drive using smartmontools and smartctl but since it is an external drive, i was not allowed to do so. Is there anyway for me to inspect and fix this drive? I am on fedora ublue-main. The HDD is a 1TB seagate drive.

    Edit : I am a linux noob so some hand holding will be appreciated. Also i am looking to use this drive only for low priority media files which i dont mind losing so please help even though it is not the greatest idea to use a failing drive

    Edit 2 : It seems my post is not clear of what i am doing. I dont want to recover data from the drive. I want to try to use more of the drive for storing data

    Appreciation Post

    Words cannot express just how much I love the new setting to quickly toggle between light and dark mode. I am very very grateful. Thank you @aeharding@lemmy.world, this is a wonderful app.

    Edit : Further phone details - Motorola G60. F1TV app used to work normally with the stock rom(at least it did last year)
