Yes, definitely, but I also heard Charles complaining during an interview that he wasn't able to keep up with Oscar's speed in the straights with DRS.

Definitely not a magic bullet, but it certainly helped to keep Charles behind Piastri, the former not able to pass the latter with DRS.

I recall that Acer laptops had a reputation of being unreliable over 10 years ago already, I'm surprised it had not improved since then.

RBR asking the right questions

PS: of course they are in a situation where every milliseconds they can gain, including by restricting their car's weight, is essential.

It took me a while to get what changed in the livery 😅 They swapped the silver for the Petronas green.

I see Amazon is trying something else for their 2024 attrition strategy.

(for those wondering what I mean by attrition strategy)

Owner of Cloud company that sells AI services tells governments that AI-powered surveillance is good.

The relevant part:

"So [Piastri's overtake at Monza] wasn't an ideal point in my world, but also as a team. It's not how we should have gone racing there. I think clearer instructions of how we can race each other has been cleared up."

Norris was asked if he was running in second place behind Piastri in first, that his team-mate would "probably not" be expected to give him the win and gave a clear "no" when further asked if Piastri would be handing him victories.

"In general, [the new rules are] probably for lower positions but if he's fought for a win and deserving of a win, then he deserves to win," he added.

Earlier this year, researchers from security firm Avast spotted a newer FudModule variant that bypassed key Windows defenses such as Endpoint Detection and Response, and Protected Process Light. Microsoft took six months after Avast privately reported the vulnerability to fix it, a delay that allowed Lazarus to continue exploiting it.

Dammit Microsoft, you only had one job!

Hello all,

As you may be aware, Firefox introduced on-device translations on the desktop a few months ago and according to this knowledge base page it has been available since version 126, but unfortunately only on some unnamed devices.

Do you know of any way (i.e. preferences in about:config) to forcefully enable the feature?

Thanks in advance

Famin confirmed that a proposal has been issued to the staff representative at Viry-Chatillon with the intention of reassigning the staff to developing new technology more relevant for the Renault Group as a whole, meaning the withdrawal of Renault as a power unit manufacturer from F1.

[...]

While confirming that Alpine is seeking to participate in F1 with a new power unit supply deal as a customer team, Famin stopped short of confirming whether or not discussions with Mercedes are taking place at this point, but did state the intention is to only make the change for the 2026 season – the beginning of the new power unit regulations – and not 2025, as has been rumoured.

[...]

“Of course, we are talking to different manufacturers and, for the time being, nothing is done because it’s a project… we have to follow in France, with unions, we have a social process which is very strict to follow.

“We cannot take any decision until we reach the end of that process. But, for the time being, we are talking to some PU manufacturers but we cannot sign anything until this process is over.”

Someone should create a leaderboard of websites sharing data with the most "partners", this week I saw someone on Mastodon posting a screenshot of a website sharing to 1700+ third-parties.

Well, the engineers say it themselves: nothing would prevent websites developers to prevent access from browsers that do not support this "Web DRM".

My biggest fear though is that it becomes a standard which all browsers will have to support to stay relevant. And with Google building the engine used by the vast majority of browsers, they can force this upon other browser engines (ie. Safari and Firefox).

Well, yes but not easily: this API will indeed allow developers to more easily develop third-party clients for kbin, but I don't think it is a 1:1 reproduction of Lemmy's API, so it will require significant work for clients to support both Lemmy and kbin.

Also, do keep in mind that kbin and Lemmy do not have feature parity (like Boosting or following users which are kbin-only)
