I think I had a Stroll win toxx somewhere too, but I'm too lazy to go find it, and the odds of it happening are infinitesimal so nevermind. F1 2018: anyone but Hamilton, please!

F1 2018: Bike talk and British politics aplenty. The more I see that Ferrari the more it grows on me EXCEPT their halo which I now hate. The extra line thing on top that makes it not smooth looks like rear end.

NtotheTC posted:The McLaren one is multi-season by the way. I genuinely believe they won't ever win an F1 race again after watching Grand Prix Driver. That's a bold statement! I mean yeah, they've been a joke lately, but F1 just kind of goes like that. Winning team turns to garbage with new formula(s) and then gets it right eventually and turns around... maybe a winning season is a stretch right now, but I can't help but assume they'll fluke into a race win if nothing else in the next year or three.

Feels Villeneuve posted:SaaS is just one arm of a long and inexorable process where consumers are turned from people who own things into people who rent things. I am so against this trend that I'm pooping my diaper right now. Is it too much to ask that I just be able to BUY something I want to use, pay for it once, and use it as long as I need it? Paying for something every month in perpetuity is a terrible (for the consumer, at least) way to go, and I hate it. When I saw the new Adobe model I was horrified. $15 a month to edit PDFs? LOL, no thanks. $20 a month to edit photos? I am now using Gimp (100% free) instead of Photoshop and I hardly miss it at all.

Theophany posted:SaaS is the new paradigm that liberates consumers from the shackles of ownership. Why the hell would you want to own a depreciating asset rather than just lease it? Software has no intrinsic value once it is obsolete either because the feature set is too old, the OS it runs on no longer supports it or the user switches platforms. All you get at the end is a physical box to hold. The problem with this model is that you're always forced to pay for the privilege of using the most current version. There's nothing wrong with Photoshop CS4. If it does everything I want it to do, and I've already bought it outright and don't want to upgrade, why should I have to? Sorry, PAY US. What did it cost new, like $700? So assume about 3 years at $20/month. Want to skip CS5 and wait to see what CS6 improves? Nope, PAY US. What if you were the "upgrade every other version" type? Nope sorry, PAY US.

Theophany posted:Uh, I pay like £16p/m for the entire CC suite. That seems like excellent value when compared to having a full frontal lobotomy whilst lucid, which is basically what using GIMP feels like. If you're not using CC for commercial use, their licenses are waaaay cheaper than retail. I don't know how your hobbit money translates to regular Canadian dollars, but I'm guessing that's about $25/mo... But I could be wrong, it looks like the "all apps" package is US$50/mo which is way too high for anyone not using these for work. Gimp really isn't that bad for basic stuff. I've had to re-learn a few tools, but it hasn't been very difficult. What happens if my internet is down? Am I just out of luck? What do I do with the 20GB of storage that comes with the cheapest package? Am I supposed to store files on Adobe's cloud? I don't get it.

The Kimoa Kid posted:Creative Cloud Photography, which includes Lightroom and Photoshop, is $10/mo USD. It works perfectly fine offline, I assume there is some frequency you have to check in to maintain your license though.

Tsaedje posted:Literally the opposite of this? He said a dumb thing then publicly acknowledged he was wrong Not even close. He gender shamed (or whatever?) his nephew for wanting to wear a princess dress with a video of him yelling at a kid on his twitter, and then removed it and "apologized" when it was pointed out to him that that was a pretty lovely thing to do. Then he went to an amusement park or something with his nephew, in a dress, and pretended he was cool with it the whole time. So basically he couldn't be a bigger oval office about it. Like, there's zero denying he did something lovely and then backpedaled when he got in trouble for it. Please god, let the "DANGER ZONE!" warning stay in the graphics package for this year. And make the song the new intro for the broadcast to leverage the synergy. That was pretty awesome, but drat, the track does seem narrow. What is all this car stuff doing in the DoctorGonzo E/N thread anyway?

New logo: 2/10. Stolen from a sock company or something, hard to read, doesn't scale, unrecognizable to non-fans. New theme: 5/10. It's OK I guess, but I can't NOT picture Sam and Frodo chasing Gandalf up a mountain ridge. New owners: 4/10*. I can't really think of anything Liberty has done to improve the sport yet. Lots of great ideas on how to gently caress it up, though. F1 2018: Grade it on a bell curve, please! *Provisional, in case someone can remind me of a good Liberty thing.

gret posted:The streaming service? OK, good one. I'll give them points for this, even though I won't be using it. Bumped up to a 5/10, depending on how well it works. The Kimoa Kid posted:The new logo is so much better than the old one guys, it’s fine if you admit to being wrong on that one. The old logo was super dated, I admit that. But at least you knew what it was the first time you looked at it. Even now when I see the new one, it says "Force India" to me more than "Formula 1". And it also looks better on the socks. They just did a lovely job with it. It looks sort of neat and futuristic, but it does nothing to identify the brand, or to tie in with the sport. At the very least if they made the "|" look more like a 1 it would be a huge improvement.

Feels Villeneuve posted:It looks nothing like the Force India logo and Autosport/Reddit are mentally ill.

The Kimoa Kid posted:Oh no, the 1 looks like I, what ever shall we do? No one has ever done this before. It is thus impossible to read. The point is it looks dumb and generic and is indisputably making the racing on track worse by being there.
