If it’s all the same driver board, they save on complexity of having different parts. I hate it but it’s true. Samsung gaming monitors now have to keep track of a remote to change settings.

At risk of un open sourcing their code, taking their ball and going home

It can be successful with Musk. Would love to see it separated from him

There’s the explore tab in the mastodon app that shows you trending hashtags, and recommends people to follow based off who you already follow. There’s trending accounts that just post about trending items too. Use them as your algorithm.

Will be interesting if they need the same thermal management that lithium packs do. That adds a fair amount of weight to the system

Yes this is on their Odyssey line of gaming monitors. Their curved ultra wide is great in the office once you get through the menus

Samsung monitors now include all the smart TV crap and need a remote to set them up

I’ve got a Ts80p which is a qc3 usbc soldering iron for that. It’s crazy powerful for it’s size and runs off a pretty small anker powerbank. You could slide that into your sleeve to go portable and one handed

You’d want more than one cell. You’d be pulling 23amps from a 4.2v 18650 to give the same 100w at 20v power as you get from a top usbpd power supply.

There are 18650s that do 30 amps for short bursts, but it would get as hot as the iron and be empty in 5 min

Ts80 that runs on qc3 is also very good. It keeps up with my large soldering station in real world use

This is funny as the Vietnamese joke about Chinese this way, they have a saying that translates as, ‘the only thing they don’t eat with 4 legs is a table’

I’ll just take a little nibble, but I’ll make loud “OM, NOM, NOM” noises while doing it.

Denser takes a more powerful gpu and higher data rates to drive more pixels.

I can’t think of anything more French!

Greed, it lowers the advertised price, but once you spec it decently you’ve added a grand in extras

No, the teams must design most of the car themselves. They are allowed to buy the engine, gearbox and some suspension parts from other teams. But all the aero parts and chassis must be designed in house. The FIA have access to their computer systems and factories to police this and the cost cap. The teams being constructors is a key feature of F1. Red Bull’s second team RB is based in Italy, while the top team is in the UK.

And no they don’t put all the money into one car, they tend to be the same car for both drivers in a team unless they are testing one upgrade idea against another. There is a a cost cap and testing cap, which limits how much they can throw at brute forcing the optimal car.

The teams make everything about the car except the tyres and some of the electronics. This makes it a constructors championship as much as a drivers one. It’s amazing that all 10 teams get within a few percent of each other in absolute pace when they all get there by different ideas. For cost cap reasons, Limited amount of on track, wind tunnel and computational simulation time makes it hard to totally catch up if you make the wrong decisions before the season starts.

So the teams that hire and retain the best engineering talent, and have the best management structure to let them work effectively, tend to get the fastest car. It’s a human and technology optimisation equation.

The bonkers thing is that with this announcement it means either the ozzy driver Riccardo will be promoted into the fastest car next year, or be out of the sport all together.

Red bull have 2 teams, 4 drivers. Their top driver Max is the world champ, his team mate is finishing at the bottom of the top 10 in the best car. It’s hard for anyone to live upto max but he’s been really under performing. Lawson had a couple of solid races last year as a reserve driver. Everyone expected them to dump Max’s team mate during the mid season break and bring up a driver from their second team. They’ve stuck by him and the assumption is that it’s to keep interest in his home race in Mexico coming up.

So the drama is that they have to dump someone to bring Lawson in, and they’ve had so many chances to dump the under performing one. The Japanese and Ozzy driver in the lower team are both great.

If they don’t give Lawson a drive next year his junior driver contract says he’s free to go elsewhere. But F1 is littered with great drivers who don’t get a chance for commercial reasons, and crappy drivers who hang around also for commercial reasons.
